After Gully breaks the druids' concentration, thus freeing Galadyn and Gelgor, as well as the townspeople, the mayor of the village, Mel, asks Gelgor, Galadyn, and Gully to take the mysterious, black stick to a friend of his - Talarii, a sage in Greyhawk. They take the stick and leave One Ford.
Once in Greyhawk, they house in the Silver Dragon Inn and met with Talarii. She tells them to seek out Eizid Natholin, since he would know about the stick. The four procure passage on a ship owned by a Rhenee named Devron, who knock them unconscious and make them into slaves on a ship.
After a week on the ship, with no sign of Gully, a large storm drives the ship onto a small, island beach. They, along with the only apparent survivor, Melisanna, search the island and are warned by a mysterious woman in a temple that the island will be destroyed in 24 hours. The heroes find a small boat and flee the island just in time to see the island destroyed by tornados. However, in the process of getting off the isle, Galadyn dies in a battle with goblins, and the group finds Hilfe, another survivor from the ship.
The ship then floats to the village of Walthain in the country of Furyondy, where the heroes regroup and take leave to Willip on their new boat to gain the reward for Melisanna's safe return to her wealthy father Doran, save for Hilfe, who stays behind.
