Having defeated Spider (150 quest XP) the party search her hideout. On her desk (which is piled high in papers in a strange, unfamiliar language) is a black rectangular crystal. The crystal goes ''bing!''

			Kava touches the crystal and an image appears on the crystal. The image is the head and shoulders of someone or something wearing a hood concealing their face. The figure says (through the crystal) in a soft, male voice "Spider? Your report is overdue. What's your status?" The unknown person notices who he's speaking to and turns to someone off screen and says "Project compromised. Shut it down." The crystal goes dark.

			The party resolves to investigate the plot by the (assumed) shadar-kai and head to the Miranda's tower. Miranda looks at the papers recovered from Spider and the black crystal. She concludes that the paper written in shadar-kai script and in code. The crystal is one of a pair of inter-planer communication crystals. She explains that the location of the other crystal of the pair can be found using a ritual.

			The party agrees to gather the opal and magical beast (e.g., dragon) scales needed for the ritual while Miranda tries to decipher the coded papers.

			The adventure continues in [[Opals and Scales]].

The two rogues fled and the half-orc was killed. The stall holder thanks them but warns that the Cartel now has them marked and "every rogue, thief and common thug with enough coppers to buy a rusty dagger" will be after them. He says they should see Captain Jack at the Jellied Eel Inn.

The Jellied Eel is by the docks and frequented by sailors. The innkeeper is called Raith and he says that the Jack will be around in the evening.

The party wait for Captain [[Jack Tyron]]. Jack turns up flamboyantly dressed with two long dirks on his belt, his heavily armed crew crowds in after him.

Jack asks the party to retrieve a box from the harbour master's office in exchange for his co-operation again the cartel.

The party initially approaches the harbour master who says that Jack's goods will be released after a payment of 45 gold and 93 silver. That night the party break into the warehouse, disabling the alarms of the windows and drugging the guard dogs.

They return to the Jellied Eel where they discover the box (which is filled with strange metal ingots) is for Miranda. They agree to deliver the box in the morning. They find rooms at the Silver Hind inn on the market square.
