As forced stowaways aboard a ship at sea, the party find themselves in the midst of master smuggler Captain Ribs Sanchez, and enlist his help in hiding Beur’s amulet – the third and final Rune Stone – from Vortheon.
Full Synopsis On the trade ship, the party meets the ship’s captain, famed buccaneer Rib Sanchez. (Ron Funches) The party takes an instant liking to Rib, who welcomes them aboard as his guests. A gang of adaro arrive to take over the ship. Battle ensues (with Rib and his crew assisting the party), but is interrupted by the arrival of Vortheon who crashes his vessel into the side of Rib’s ship, causing the adaro to retreat in a panic. Vortheon summons the second arcane horror to attack the party. It nearly kills Rib, but is ultimately struck down by Boneweevil. Vortheon still ensnares the party in magical bindings, and steals Beor’s runestone. The group (save for Rib, who is allowed to go free) is led onto Vortheon’s ship which leaves for Manoa.
