As the waters of the river Styx keep pouring in, Shami-Amourae plane shifts away. Off in the distance, a dark shrouded creature paddles his skiff closer to the party. The bony hands and the glowing eyes give away Charon identity. Charon asks the party, "What have you done to my river?" The party denies any intent to cause the event, apologizes, and tells the long tale of their adventures. Upon hearing this, Charon the sound advise to seek out Iggwilv. He offers to show the party the way.
Charon's skiff travels a wide variety of landscapes before emerging from the fog, next to the party's ship. Already docked at a pier, the ship is fit and ready. Charon informs the party that while they are on their current quest, they are under his protection while traveling on the river Styx. With that, he leaves.
After a few moments, a wolf-headed creature emerges and yells out that the adventurers should leave immediately. They are unexpected and unwelcome. With that, two powerful linnorms emerge from the water and attack the party. The combat is particularly lethal with Ortho and Nesta being destroyed. Hjalmgerder beaten into unconsciousness, dropping into the river Styx and starting to drown.
The party struggles be defeats the linnorms. Vin dives in to save Hjalmgerdr, as he does, the Styx wipes his memory clean. The party will have to do a bit of planar traveling to recover from this fight.
