Synopsis
The episode begins on the Sheamus, a day into their ship's journey. Winnie goes to Wilbert and asks him for tips on fighting. He gives her some advice and lets her copy witch bolt from his spellbook.

Dalfin quickly gains the love of the various crew members with his orcish comments and food distribution. Relnor goes to speak with Captain Donnie, only to be accosted by Bordu until Donnie calls him in.

Unfortunately, as Relnor goes to begin his conversation with Donnie, Dalfin, who had been attempting to eavesdrop, falls off of the side of the ship, leading to panic until Wilbert rescues him with a levitation spell. At that moment, Captain Donnie spots a pirate ship coming from the distance. The crew and party prepare as the pirates draw closer, and Wilbert begins duelling with the pirate ship's wizard.

At this point, a very one-sided battle ensues, with the party very effectively rebuffing the onslaught of pirates. Wilbert mentions how unprepared the enemy wizard was, and Donnie goes to talk with Relnor about how suspiciously weak the attack seemed. At this time, they enter the fog bank surrounding the Gnome island, with Wilbert magically communicating with the gnomes, before the fog and stone walls separate and they see the massive island.
