Pendragon: Merchant of Death #4

Bobby heads down the subway tunnel to find groups of vicious dogs waiting for him. He outruns the dogs, and enters through a mysterious doorway. Bobby then yells "Denduron" and floats down a corridor to be rudely deposited in a cave. As Bobby exits the cave, he finds that wherever he is, there are three suns and that he is far up in the mountains. Press comes through the cave, and they both get redressed in heavy furs and skins. They also have an old fashioned sled outfitted with two spears. They leave the cave on the sled, and are chased by "Quigs" which are guardians of the gates that are specific to each territory. These ones are huge furry monsters with spikes on their backs. They outrun the quigs, but crash the sled in a nearby forest, Press is taken hostage, and Bobby passes out.

Bobby and his uncle go down into the subway station, to meet a homeless man and a cop. The cop turns out to be a man named Saint Dane who hypnotizes the homeless man to run in front of an oncoming subway car. Saint Dane and Press have a gunfight, and Bobby runs down the subway tracks looking for a "gate" with only the word "Denduron" to guide him.
