Summary
Leokas arrives in the basement warehouse, but there is no sign of Belvin. He discovers several scratches in the wooden floor, which he is convinced were caused by someone very heavy and wearing metal boots. He also finds a slip of paper having fallen behind the desk in the room. It is a receipt of sale of an adamantine portal frame and eight Galormansko's sequencer apparatus to Samber from The Interlink Consortium of Bral. The logo for the Interlink Consortium is the same set of interlocking rings found on Walker's crates and the metal fragment Szordrin carries. The others arrive soon after on the portal. They are excited to see the receipt, but they worry about where Belvin might have gone. Szordrin remains to examine the grandfather clock in the room, Nargroth, Jayce, and Oma visit the local bars to learn what they can, and the rest head to the docks. Jayce, Oma, and Nargroth learn that they are in Shilku. No one had heard of anyone named Samber, but the warehouse was rented out to a man named "Rembas". Also, four men in full plate armor and visored helmets had been spotted entering the warehouse the night before. Leokas found clear footprints of metal boots outside and the group follow them to the docks, where they are surprised to find The Daisy, Belvin, Ombert, and Loreene. Belvin claims to have been waiting for them for several hours. They ask around and learn that there was only a single other ship in the small port that day, and it was piloted by a man in a suit of armor! It left only a few hours ago. Szordrin used his magic to analyze the portal and the grandfather clock. He finds that the clock sets a time delay on when someone arrives at the other end of the portal. This was why the others arrived an hour after Belvin. They all meet together again, and Belvin shares how he thinks he was confronted by Samber himself. They return to Ombert and Jayce eventually (with bardic magic) convinces him to have The Daisy pursue the other vessel.
 * Hakam hurries back to the others in the ancient temple and informs them that Belvin and Hakam have gone through the portal. All of them follow after the two elves.
 * At night Belvin changes form to a dolphin and swims out to the other vessel. He boards it and summons fire elementals to burn the sails. This lets those on The Daisy know where their target is in addition to acting as sabotage. By the next day, however, their target has repair the sails. They attempt to slow the vessel again by sending pteranodons to attack it, but this triggers a response. Dark clouds form above The Daisy and a lightning bolt splitters the main mast.
 * The Daisy feints fleeing and then turns back continues to follow the vessel stealthily from a great distance. They make no more attempts at sabotage. The holidays of Midsummer and Shieldmeet come and go and a full tenday passes.
