His fortunes were to change for the worse when he accepted a commission as navigator on the [[wikipedia:merchantman|merchantman]] the <i>[[Hefty Barmaid]]</i>. Only several days out of port, the <i>Barmaid</i> was captured by the dread [[Admiral Drax]].

Confronted with [[the Hag]]'s fearsome rage, Ka-Ess and his companions elected to flee to [[Port Skaug]]. The trio disbanded, and Ka-Ess found himself in need of a ship and crew.

With only what he had stolen from Drax, Ka-Ess arranged lodgings at [[The Wayward Lobster]] and began his search for a ship and crew to exact revenge on the Hag and seize her holdings. It was here that he met [[Ardrick Blackstone]], [[Ilabrar Nightbreeze]], [[Bragen Minotauros]], and [[Mute, Illiterate Half-Orc]], who answered his advertisement for "rough and rowdy sailors seeking fabulous fortunes." With a daring skeleton crew, they captured the <i>Neglected Fishwife<i>, rechristened it The <i>[[Satisfied Fishwife]]</i>, and set out in search of glory and adventure.
