Heroes: Ceolwic, Rat, Elwyn.
The Heroes are summoned to Cannith Tower, where they take charge of 100 magical crates, which they must transport to the town of Vathirond, at the border between Breland and the Mournlands. They will be accompanied by Dhusarra d' Cannith, one of Baron Merrix's disciples.
The trip by skyship proceeds without trouble, when one night two elven visitors "appear" on deck. Captain Elwyn investigates, and the two visitors reveal themselves as members of the Chamber (dragons in disguise). They ask to be allowed to check the content of one of the crates, a wish that Captain Elwyn indulges. The crates are similar to over-sized bags of holding, and seem to contain dormant warforged. Their curiosity satisfied, the dragons leave after having raised several questions among the party of Heroes.
In Vathirond, the Heroes enter a town in ruin, with several buildings burned down, or covered by now-hardened molten glass: a scene they've witnessed in the past. No humans are alive, while warforged forces, apparently loyal to the Lord of Blades, occupy the town. Dhusarra is welcomed by the warforged military governor, while the Heroes are assigned lodgings outside of the clockwork fortress of the warforged.
During the night, while Elwyn and Ceolwic spend the night in a Magnificent Mansion spell, Rat is assaulted by warfoged assassins. He miraculously survives the event, but he's apprehended and brought to the presence of Dhusarra and the Governor. With the crates now safely delivered to destination, the Governor orders his soldiers to kill Rat.
