Soundly defeating Georgio, the Protectors of the Pass questioned him and each of his co-conspirators. Georgio revealed the plan - teleport the Wayfarer's ship, killing everyone on board, and blaming Shahalesti for it. If the plan was accomplished, it would end Shahalesti's ability to make alliances with the kingdoms north of Seaquen, and would pave the way for a Ragesian march to the sea. When pressed, Georgio said he knew Ragesia would be victorious, and he wished to be on the winning side. Before he was taken into custody, he shared a key piece of information - the leader of his group was Lee Sidoneth.
Learning of a possible location from one of the thugs, the Protectors headed off to the ruins, as a violent and powerful hurricane made landfall. Arriving at the ruins, the party found a hidden entrance to an underground prison. Escaping the storm, the Protectors headed inside. They were greeted by giant crustacean monsters, and a dangerous fight ensued. Taking plenty of hurt themselves, the party eventually defeated the lob-strosities, and prepared to make their way further into the sunken prison.
