Can they outwit, outfight, and outrun assassins armed with a distressing collection of lethal poisons? The Imperial Knight Champion of Chaos? Feisty gnomes with slide rules? And a horde of a thousand inebriated simians? There's only one way to find out...Continue Playing the Game? Yes / No show less

This review is mainly for me to remember the book.
a bit much fighting for my taste.
The story continues Assassins try to kill Hektor and his friends. He meets an ape fighting the drunken master style and the Dwarf Elmac finally gets into the "game "Ends on a big cliffhanger.
