The party is in Stormreach when Gravus Tilhame, the lone surviving member of the Templebound Raiders, contacts them. Gravus lies to the PCs, telling them that his group got split up in the jungle and that he alone made it back. He wants to hire the party for protection as he searches for his missing friends. Alternatively, one of the Templebound Raiders could be an acquaintance of one of the PCs, and his return to Stormreach is long overdue. When the PCs find Gravus back in the city drowning his sorrows in drink, they can question him, inspiring a perilous rescue mission into the deep jungle.
After Gravus and the party set out, they must contend with the dangers of the jungle. Tracking the missing Raiders is relatively simple, but doing so leads to a settlement of hostile creatures that have either killed or captured Gravus’s companions. Once they recover the dragonshards and any surviving members of the group, the PCs head for the coast and a waiting ship. There Gravus’s treachery is revealed, as he attempts to leave the PCs behind and sail off with the treasure.
