With their personal preparations complete, The Raven Shield set out to recruit pirates to aid their fight against Warush Blacktooth.
A large number of crews apply, but the crew settles on Fharila, a cruel Wayfinder of Sandail, and Grival Grall, a pragmatic Half-elf. A third pirate by the name of Ulminar joins their effort as well, unnaturally driven to participate.
After saying their goodbyes to Aslyn (and receiving strange pendants, said to bring good luck at sea), the party sets sail - to war.
In a pitched sea battle against The Exiled, The Raven Shield manages to push through the lines of enemy ships. Using the Staff of Teleportation they recently obtained, Luciano Vanitoso, Lorenzo and Silvayn manage to teleport aboard Warush's flagship - right into the arms of his crew.
