The Heroes board the Neogi mindspider, and slaughter all the spider-like aberrations and their umber hulk bodyguards. They also encounter a illithid, apparently an ally of the neogi. When the creature tries to bargain for its life, the Heroes show no mercy.
With all the opposition gone, the Heroes retrieve their men, and they also free four elves and a half-elf kept prisoner in the slaves' holds. They loot what they can from the mindspider, and then set the vessel on fire. Having decided to get rid if the Summon Cosmic Storm scroll, they leave it on the burning hulk of the mindspider.
Their voyage to back to Bral continues, when they are met by a wasp ship painted night-blue, escorted by two flitters and a mosquito ship. The small fleet seems to be ignoring the Emerald Arrow, but suddenly the dark wasp detaches from formation, and attacks the Heroes' vessel! The Heroes try to perform an evasive manoeuvre, but when they fail to loose the dark wasp, they decide to board the enemy craft.
On the vessel they find more neogi and umber hulk, apparently allied with a crew of dark elves. The Heroes fight their way through the ship, this time keeping one of the neogi alive for future questioning. With only the helmsman station left to investigate, the Heroes prepare to meet the ship's captain.
