The team lined up along the gunwales to engage the closing brigands. The Scange archers unleashed a flurry of arrows. Some struck Garadal and some Grozzadeth. Katarina and Koehan hit the Scange leader with magic missiles while Garadal started picking off archers with his bow. The Scange kept trying to grapple the Mudlark, but the team kept cutting the lines. Several volleys exchanged, but finally the Scange grappled and tried to swarm aboard. The team put up a heavy resistance and fought their own way onto the enemy vessel! Arminious hit several of the brigands with hold person. Then, Koehan trapped several more using web! The party pulled the ships together, crushing one of the brigands who had fallen into the river. Soon the brigands were overcome.
The group interrogated a couple and learned the Scange have a nearby camp. Also, their leader, Hrothgar, apparently met with the dark-haired woman the previous day. The party decided to take both ships and the captured bandits to Threshold to see if there is a bounty.
