He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

Rix Banner has finally made it back to Patience Station, where life is settling into something almost respectable.

Unfortunately for Crow, the Medics control the third level of Toroth-Gol. Not only that, but they've imprisoned Crow's father--and they're not afraid to use him as leverage to get what they want.
