The met up with the smuggler Ortimay and left port on his ship outrunning a storm. The ship had a full cast of memorable characters including the Boisterous Ortimay, assertive Margret, Dour Grigg, and Lonely Bonnie Skytle "Sky Turtle". Celadon busied himself below deck with Margaret (in Griggs Hammock for the thrill of it). Meanwhile Lindal quickly proved his worth to Bonnie in the crows nest spotting a few things that she would have otherwise missed such as some wreckage floating on the water and a 25 foot long hunter shark intent on ramming the vessel. Lindal warned the captain and the crew braced themselves but still a few members were knocked overboard. Eddie barely managed to avoid a similar fate by having clipped himself onto a railing due to his foresight.
Eddie blasted the shark with electricity and Lindal peppered it with bolts form his crossbow and the ship quickly outpaced the shark. Eddie ran downstairs to warn the others in the sanctum even as Lindal and Bonnie worked out a new system of communication that could be heard over the roaring wind. Lindal guided the boat to the source of the wreckage, a ship ran aground on a barnacled ridge by some Harpies.
The group peppered the Harpies with quarrels from afar while Eddie blasted deafening sounds to help protect the party from the siren's enchanting songs. Still even with the help of his deafening orchestra most of the crew eventually succumbed and needed to be taken below deck for their safety. Only the captain remained unaffected. Bonnie was saved by Lindal when she would have tumbled from the crows nest and woke to found herself in his arms and thanked him with a chaste kiss. In the end it was Freya who butchered the birds once they closed in. Lightly armored avians proved no match for her horrendous strength.
With the crew mostly out of commission from the Harpies the party needed to help Ortimay stop the ship before it ran aground. Celadon tried to help but his book knowledge proved no match for the confusing reality that was the hundreds of ropes in a ship's riggings. Eddie had more success having studied more of the ship and less of the seamen. The party was able to help Ortimay maneuver the ship earning his respect and bringing the boat to anchor 40 feet from the sunken vessel.
