The revels were interrupted by news of an attack on the Marquis' estate. The Fishwives raced to their patron's abode, finding a well-trained unit of hobgoblin musketeers, several dangerous mercenaries, and a horrifyingly-mutated fish-priest. They defeated their foes after a hard fight, but not before the Marquis was slain by assassins. Ardrick managed to revive him with the Holy Light of Kord, but the assailants escaped on manticores with their prize: [[the red gem]].

They soon encountered a mist-covered island with great stone pillars. Ilabrar, conversing with local [[ents]], realized this was the [[Tomb of the First Archdruid]]. Inside lay a giant skeleton on a stone bier and a doorway to [[the Feywild]]. The party went through the sorcerous gate with startling alacrity, ending up in the magical forest of [[the summer lands]]. Ka-Ess was again taken in by a hag, but after a brief and confused fight the Fishwives made their way to the Court of [[the River King]]. Ilabrar was taken on a detour by a familiar tree, but got a very fine set of clothes out of it. | They soon encountered a mist-covered island with great stone pillars.
