Into the Great Abyss...

After regrouping from the assault on Scuttlecove, the party sets sail for the Abyss and the Gaping Maw. Once out to sea, Captain Harliss Javell activates the Wake Portal device. The wake of the Sea Wyvern begins sparkling and flashing with mauve light. The smell of salt and blood fill the air as the bubbles thickly, and the sky turns dark. After many minutes the sea surges up and lightning strikes several points of the ship, then as things calm, the party realizes that they are no longer in the ocean they know but in the strange and dangerous abyssal sea.

After a day of travel, the party encounters the Sapphire Griffon. The ship is crewed by mercenaries, but commanded by a few mercane merchants. After a brief parlay, the adventurers buy several items and the ships part ways peacefully.

Getting closer to the Gaping Maw, a terrible storm comes up, and the Sea Wyvern struggles to make its way through. Cap'n Harliss keeps the ship to its task, and the adventurers arrive at the Gaping Maw and make sail for the Dividend's Ire.

Navigating through the islands, the party encounters a vessel that looks like a giant floating scab. The scab makes a direct run at the Sea Wyvern. The party battles the two vicious blood fiends, and rescues a palrethee named Azael. Daria wants to stabitty-stab-stab-stab, but Vin has second thoughts successfully negotiates for the services of of the fiend to serve as guide to the prison where Lavinia is being held. Arriving near the isle, the Sea Wyvern arrives at a secluded inlet. There, Vanthus' ship quietly rests.
