Separate from our main campaign, in this one shot we imagine what our characters would do in a darker world, where the gods are dead, and most have given up hope. Always on the lookout for adventure, Elean Foxe and Akiva Konshu have taken to the high seas as pirates, doing whatever "work" comes their way. They find themselves in port looking for the next booty when a familiar person shows up in the tavern.

The party concludes their meeting with the Royal Cleric and promises to help him as best they can. While Scriv and Belinda meet with Kanithar over a game of Cataclysm, Akiva and Valen speak with Normoa about getting in contact with Akiva’s friend. Eventually, the party travels to the seedy underbelly of Orinthal to meet with an old friend of Scriv and appreciate her art.
