Packing up their camp after their strange dreams, The Raven Shield continues along the road towards Eastport, arriving on the morning of the 11th of Midsummer.
Luciano Vanitoso decides to sell his horse, Macchiolina, with Silvayn and Lorenzo bringing Vanity and Nero with them. On their way through town, they learn of the Commodore, Xaharn Vys Skaernoro, and Luciano tells the party of the general state of the seas. Reaching the docks, the party is surprised by seeing a drunk violently expelled from a nearby bar and subsequently arrested. Informing around town, they learn that there might be one crew crazy enough to ferry them to Aregrionno - the Jackdaw.
The party locates the Jackdaw, and learns that its captain has apparently been arrested - the same drunk they just saw picked up by the city guard. After brief negotiations with the guard captain, they reach a deal - if the party can apprehend "Mangy" Merric Fulbrim, they might be able to swap him for the captain of the Jackdaw.
After visiting the city archives, the party learns that their quarry is most likely visiting his mother, and decide to visit the old lady's house. Fulbrim makes his escape, but is slowed by Silaqui's magic and tackled by Silvayn. Returning to the guard post, Captain Rylgar is granted his freedom, and the party negotiates for him to bring them to Aregrionno. He agrees, for a fee of 2 gp per passenger per day, 5 gp per day per horse. The ship would be ready to leave at noon the next day.
Celebrating their success, The Raven Shield share a meal and drinks at a local tavern. Henry Jamund appears, looking for Silaqui, and the two share a private conversation.
The next day, the party makes their way to the Jackdaw when they run into Henry. Silaqui and Henry talk in private for a few more moments, and then Silaqui turns to her fellow party members.
Realizing the need Henry has for her, the potential of arcane discoveries that might await her, and that the party can handle themselves, she decides to leave with Henry instead, in a quest that will take her far beyond the limits of the Material Plane.
After an emotional goodbye, Silaqui, and Henry board the New Horizons, and the party sees the ship off. In a final flash of light (or was it just a reflection?) the ship seems to vanish in the distance.
With a ship and crew secured, Luciano Vanitoso, Lorenzo and Silvayn find themselves at the brink of a brand new adventure - crossing Cradle Bay.
