It isn't long after leaving Burnard aboard the 'Vreijheijdt' that the crew spots a storm brewing to the north. Some of the crew prefer to avoid the storm and sail through the bandit infested swamps, but others would rather stay clear of the swamps and risk going through the storm. HAP suggest that they have plenty experience fighting bandits, but can't do much against storms, and they change course to sail through The Swamps. The manage to avoid most of the storm, but for a brief moment have to sail through tumultuous weather. Lightning strikes the crow's nest with Anlen in it and a fire breaks out. HAP and the ship's crew react swiftly and manage to avoid serious damage to the ship. The next day they encounter several barrels of Arnallan wine, the best wine in Rasfadal. Henk buys one of the barrels for the crew. When they are celebrating their catch that evening something climbs aboard the ship. A group of seaweed monsters attacks the crew. HAP and the crew manage to fight off the monsters and later that evening arrive in Feryndon.
