The Grim Reaper


 Having defeated the shambling mound; the party get into a rowboat and sets off to pursue the wizard in the harbour. Nidal uses her gem of seeing to find the Grim Reaper. Without the gem the ship is invisible. When the party approach the ship they find that there is some kind of dimension wall or wall of invisibility cloaking the ship. Adrahil and Nodrog push through the wall and after getting over their arms disappearing into thin air, they clamber up the side of the Grim Reaper. 

A battle breaks out on the deck of the ship. The drow are tough customers and not willing to give up. While the party struggles with the crew, the wizard unleashes a fireball on the deck that engulfs almost everyone. Some drow are killed in the explosion of fire and Nidal, who is already injured, drops burned and unconscious to the deck. Things are looking very desperate. 

Suddenly, Bimmz swoops down out of the sky breathing fire and strafes the wizard and drow with fire breath. The wizard is burnt to a crisp and collapses in cinders. The deck of the Grim Reaper is aflame. 

Nidal is revived and shouting for vengeance charges into the cabin of the ship with the rest of the party. A few drow try to defend the area and prevent the party from reaching Nerak. The drow go down and Nidal kicks in the door to Nerak's cabin. Nerak lies in her bed recovering from her injuries. Nidal jumps at Nerak. Just before Nidal reaches her, Nerak touches her amulet and disappears. Nidal scatters the bedsheets and pillows in frustration. 

The party goes down into the cargo hold and find crates and barrels with 1,000s of gold pieces, gems, and Aubrecht's treasure box. 




The smoke is getting very thick and the party are forced to leave the Grim Reaper. The jump into their row bow and paddle away. As they do, the Grim Reaper burns to the waterline and sinks to the bottom of the harbour.

The weather is pleasant and there a no signs of orcs or other dangers.  Adrahil notices some smoke rising over the next hill. The party immediately prepares for battle. Adrahil and Nodrog sneak forward and crawl up the hill. Adrahil and Nodrog see that the smoke is coming from the camp fire of a small caravan. They move back to the party to let them know what they have seen.  The party decides to approach the caravan.

 The party heads north along the coast in a captured northern ship to the village of Fiskurthorp. The are unsure of how to proceed on their scouting mission. This is understandable given the reputation the northerners have earned in the south as fierce and merciless warriors.  The party decided the best approach is to anchor the ship some way up the coast and then approach the village on foot. The party move silently towards the village and  see that their are guards in the watch towers. Kallista casts a spell to understand the language the northerners might speak. They find a small ferry boat and as they are pulling it across the river to get to the village they are greeted from the river bank.  A northern warrior, Thorgrim, is beckoning the party across the river and welcoming them to the village.
