Sebastian Arnyal and Bijoux smuggled Calactyte out of Freeport to the ss'ressen-friendly Sulfur Marsh, where he can recouperate without fear of reprisal. Unfortunately, Cal doesn't awaken from his coma right away due to the intervention of Alissstar and his prophecies.

In the mean time, the Player Characters who journeyed to Moratavia meet up at The Lizard's Boat. Cal awakens from his coma with a vision: his tribe is in trouble and he must help them. He stalks off into the Sulfur Marsh, his companions reluctantly in tow (some more than others, Nauris Drilian hates ss'ressen).

After getting eaten, poisoned, infected, and nearly drowned in the marsh, they finally make it to Cal's village, only to discover the Black Talon ss'ressen are at war with a Magister Mortis named Tomas Hariot. They PCs attack Tomas and eventually bring him low, but not without the death of Beldin Soulforge, who dies protecting Sebastian from certain death.

Fortunately, due to the Weight of the Curse, Sebastian gathers up enough healing potions to heal Beldin in time. They return to the village as heroes. Krisharr gives them one last task: to name the baby ssanu that stowed away in Kham's jacket, traveling all the way from Freeport to the village.

Calactyte decides to name the ssanu "Emric," or for purposes of this reference, Emric II.
