Chapter 11, Episode 1 - The Silver Pyramid

The party, in exile with Lord Hector's refugees in the Ring Islands, is summoned to Denlor's Tower by Kastra Brandywine. There The Lord Sage and the vampire Welsea Parenthe task them with reaching Yarish's Pyramid on Sorcerer's Isle ahead of the Cult of the Dragon, finding the Zhentarim agent Thylren Saj, and stopping the spreading corruption. Travelling via Kabel's Hill, they board James Cel's keelboat The Arbitus and are caught mid-river by the half-dragon Vurthak.

• The cult's party took the overland route; the river race is on.
