The Party sets off on their journey to the bottom of the continent. They decide to follow the coast for now along well-trod roads. They head south towards the grand city of Waterdeep, when suddenly an arrow strikes a nearby tree, with a note attached to it. Bo investigates and the note reads “You are a fool for looking!” They discover the arrow was shot by a Goblin sent by Bo Burnham. Burr sends him back with a note scribbled on the back “Bow Burn Him.”
As the day nears its end the Party decides to take refuge at a Lighthouse. Here they meet Haseid, the current Lighthouse keeper. He invites them inside and asks them to tie up their horses outside. During their discussions before bed Haseid explains to The Party that the Lighthouse was under a curse from Talos, the evil god of storms. The Lighthouse had for decades been luring ships to their doom rather than helping them navigate away from the craggy shore. His father began trying to turn the curse around and he is working on the same. After an evening meal he shows them to a room to spend the night.
While asleep, Ranalia shows Kali a vision of a possible future where she is shaking hands with an Ice Giant. She lets Kali know that it is only a possibility for her future, not a sure thing. Her choices could lead to this peace, but she could make a choice at some point that alters this future.
When they wake the next morning, Kali blesses the Lighthouse for Stronmaus, a deity of the sun, sky, weather, seas, and joy. Kali tells Haseid about the blessing that worked and how to best to server Stronmaus. He bursts into tears thanking her for her blessing.
The Party decides to go and investigate one of the shipwrecks. Sutton Hoo finds a stone filled with rainbow colors that flow as if in liquid, slowly swirling iridescently, when exposed to sunlight. He brings it back to Burr and it turns out to be a rare Rogue Stone. Burr finds some silver and copper as well as a bone statuette. Diz is only able to find lint as she searches in all the wrong places. Kali finds silver, copper, and 2 Small mirrors set in a painted wooden frame. Kali gives it to Diz to help her look around corners.
After getting back from their expedition, the Party says their goodbyes to Haseid. He lets them know that they are welcome back at any time, giving Kali an especially warm grin.They make their way down the road and are met by a Duergar. Diz recognizes him as one of the grey dwarvs of the Underdark. After exchanging some barbs a fight breaks out. After suffering him much damage including an acid burn on his face the Part decides to nonlethally knock him unconscious and stick him in a hole in the ground. The Party then continues down the road and makes it to Leilon a small mining town.
