Defeat of the Hag

The Fishwives arrived at the island. The sorcerous wind kept back the ship, but Ilabrar, Ka-Ess, and Ardrick used their various gifts, natural and magical, to approach the beach underwater at midnight. They found a wrecked dwarven fishing boat ashore.

Following the beach, they came upon a high cliff with a passage carved into the side. It was decorated in an intricate, geometric patters. Within the passage was a storage room with a cage of bone, and within the cage was Sathul, who was being tortured by a wererat. The companions freed Sathul, who joined the group.

While imprisoned, Sathul was forced to wear a silver collar that appeared to prevent him from using his magical abilities.

The companions ventured into the jungle, where eventually they reached the Obsidian Pyramid. A number of gnolls surrounded a comely young woman apparently chained to an alter atop the pyramid, though this was the hag in disguise. The companions defeated the gnolls, a mummy, and pursued the hag into the pyramid. They slew her in a great hall, where she was keeping a young bronze dragon. Ilabrar found and read the hag's journal.

She had surrounded a stone doorway in a cage of bones, which the party managed to open. The door was sealed, however, with an inscription that read in archaic Draconic: "Only the blood of [a/the?] Royal Line shall Open this Doorway."
