Ultra-Condensed
- One of the Assassins decides Ankh-Morpork would be better off with its rightful King.
- Detritus the troll, Cuddy the dwarf, and Angua the werewolf are new recruits with the Night Watch.
- Sergeant Colon is in charge, since Captain Vimes is leaving the Watch after his marriage to the richest lady in Ankh-Morpork.
- A new and dangerous weapon, too awful to be allowed to exist (but too fascinating to destroy), is leaving a wake of corpses - a clown, a mechanically inclined dwarf, the assistant to the Queen of Beggars. More targets were sighted, but attempts foiled.
- Captain Vimes and the Night Watch have been ordered off the case. It is the Assassins Guild's jurisdiction.
- Everyone knows and likes Corporal Carrot.
- Freezing Detritus makes him smarter.
- Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler expands his menu, for the ethnic crowd.
- Leonard of Quirm, genius inventor (not to be confused with Bloody Stupid Johnson), has disappeared.
- Detritus on a recruiting spree.
