After two days at sea, the crew of the Spirit of the Unyielding guided the supply runner along the Crag's southern coastline past Brine. While sailing, both ships were intercepted by two underwater vessels that boarded them. A battle ensued in which Babar, Seance, Weetus, and Tempest were able to emerge victorious.
Across the waves aboard the supply ship, the tortles also managed to fend off the attackers. However, just as victory was assured, a great orange wave passed over the region, and as it passed over the supply ship, a massive explosion erupted from the cargo hold, completely destroying the ship and killing all aboard.
Immediately after the explosion, an escaped prisoner came aboard from the underwater vessel, a tiefling named Larissinia from Balsearenta who had been captured attempting to send aid to the Kingdom town of Warwikhamp.
