According to legend, the Battle Axe of Hatred contains a demon’s soul after those who fought against it were unable to destroy it. On the outskirts of Waterdeep, Nick Close is enslaved to the Watermice until he is able to retrieve this ax. In order to save him, the Doodlers hatch a plan to acquire this axe from the Redbrands, a rival gang.

It’s alluded to that it isn’t Ellory or the Watermice who want the axe and enslaved Nick, but rather some strange sorcerer guy.

The dads hatch a brilliant plan to hotbox the Redbrands’ hideout using the colorful flowers all around the forests. Their plan is carefully laid, with everything accounted for. Unfortunately, during Glenn and Darryl’s assaulted on the two guards standing watch, things go horribly wrong. Their plan falls into chaos.

Fighting with the Redbrands is a messy affair. In the end, the dads are successful in retrieving the axe. Glenn unveils it and realizes the Battle Axe of Hatred is actually a demonically cool guitar. With loot in hand, they head back to the Watermice. Nick reveals to Glenn during the ride back that he actually lied about the whole curse thing. He wanted to spend more time with the Watermice and his dad, and after all that, he thinks he and Glenn should just ditch the other dads and head off into Faerun to do their own thing. Glenn agrees, and with a plan set, the group arrives back at the Watermice camp.
