Summary
The battle was winding down as Eryn and Cassandra jumped into the thick, swampy jungle to chase a fleeing enemy. As they plunged deeper into the brush, a horrifying stench struck Cassandra—an odor so foul it was beyond anything she had ever experienced. Just as the smell hit her, a frantic scream of terror rang out from ahead but was abruptly cut off. Eryn caught up to her but was immediately overcome by the vile odor; all the energy was drained from her body, leaving her as weak as a small child. Cassandra, using her ogre-like strength, had to pick up Eryn and carry her out of the jungle.
They stumbled back to the group, where Cal-El, Symon, X'or, Angelique, Captain Ambrose Percival Hurst, and Jesse Jack Johnson were assessing their wounds. Eryn explained that she was completely drained of energy, and Cassandra recounted the scream they heard, though they could not be certain if the person they had been chasing survived the encounter. Jesse Jack Johnson urged everyone onto her ship, *The Blade*, to finalize their plans.
During the meeting on deck, Jesse Jack Johnson laid out a map and explained that the exact location of the Rook’s Eye had been determined. Her plan involved sending evidence of Silas Umbridge's crimes to her husband, Captain Jacob Smythe, while she took *The Blade* through a narrow channel to intercept a slave ship from Nox. The Company’s mission was to capture Ishmael Curizon’s ship, the *Sea-Bitch*, within a three-hour window while she navigated the swamp. If they were successful, they were to strike the colors and raise a white flag as a signal; otherwise, she would blow the ship out of the water upon her arrival in the harbor. The group also discussed the necessity of securing Captain John Laroque to be handed over to Valdernost troops for trial.
The Company headed back toward the harbor, but as they marched through the swampy area, they were ambushed by a group of undead, including Juju Zombies and Ghasts. The source of the terrible stench they had encountered earlier revealed himself as Lord Zorin Von Toth, a Zombie Lord. The ambush was devastating; Symon was knocked unconscious by the stinch, and Cal-El suffered a horrible bout of sickness and a permanent drain on his constitution. Angelique successfully turned several ghasts and zombies, while the rest of the party engaged in a brutal melee. Angelique eventually landed a killing shot on Lord Zorin Von Toth, with an arrow striking him in the temple and causing him to crumble to the ground.
After recovering, they reached the harbor and discovered Ishmael Curizon’s crew keel-hauling Seaman Gumby. X'or charged onto the ship to pull Seaman Gumby back up while Cal-El and Eryn attacked the crew members holding the other end of the lines on the opposite side of the ship. Moab was huge like X'or and attacked him with a magical glowing scimitar. This attack was brutal. Cassandra arrived to join the fight with Moab. As the others finished off the group on the opposite side of the ship, X'or had managed to pull Seaman Gumby partially out of the water only to collapse from a vicious hit from Moab. Symon used his magic to create a massive illusion of fire on the *Sea-Bitch* to distract the pirates, then cast a spell that transformed the powerful fighter Moab into a large-mouthed bass. He used a web spell on the deck of the *Sea-Bitch*.
The party secured the ship, and Cal-El successfully struck the colors just as *The Blade* was making its turn into the harbor, with its crew prepared to fire a magical device. Seeing the signal, Jesse Jack Johnson held her fire and signaled the Company as her ship picked up speed and headed out to sea. Cal-El then jumped down to the dock to confront the bound Captain John Laroque. He approached him, kicked him over, faced him, and said, “Hello father!”
