Series arc

Through book 5

Not the smell of a blitz stick from the gnolls' room (B5 ch. 32); twenty blitz sticks on a hunter's corpse (B5 ch. 54); and Katia's secret — sticks found on one of Eva's victims, and 'Show me Annie', every time (B5 ch. 78).

Through book 2

A waitress offers blitz sticks instead of earth tobacco and a pharmacist to go with them; 'the last thing I needed was a new addiction' (B2 ch. 15).

Through book 4

Carl offers a camel a blitz stick from Quint the pharmacist's stock, and Clay shows his off (B4 ch. 1).
