The boys mull over Eddie’s offer, hesitant to join a new campaign without Will and El. As Eddie does his best to inspire Mike, Lucas, and Dustin to join the Hellfire Club in the present, the past holds a glimpse of the legendary campaign that got him hooked on playing D&D. Eddie and the original Hellfire crew add a new teammate to help take on a vicious Manticore that nearly wiped out their party the first time. But both in the past and present Eddie proves there is strength in numbers.
