- Players talk to captain of the guard and go to cove to investigate.
- Party discovers disembowled soldier at cove and is ambushed by orcs from land and sea.

- Party accompanied by a Cleric uses the Draggonne Boat to cross channel to a small island santuary. The Party fends off Darkmantles, Hermunculi, and Glyphs of Warding, in the root cellar of the hermitage cottage, and discovers a small laboratory and makeshift shrine, inhabited by a Troglodyte sorceror and a Disciple of Gruumsh. Among the papers on the sorcerors desk are a spellbook, book of Hymns to Gruumsh, a scroll written in Eldar Draconic, and an unfinished letter to the Archprelate stating;
"Archprelate Laud is correct. We must turn to the more powerful gods and use them for our purposes. He has taught me how to channel the power of Gruumsh, the one eyed god of the orcs. I believe I can become Gruumsh's avatar by restoring the old gods. I must find and rebuild their holy shrines..."
- The party retains the services of Adon who wields a +1 Mace of St. Winfred on behalf of thee Temple ov Pelor. The Dragonne Boat will surely come in handy on more than one occasion. The Party now has 6 horses to ride to Briar.
