Algrund still hasn't recovered, so the party set out without him.

They saw 50 to 60 Crabmen on the beach the day after the storm. Only 28 villagers remain on the island. The Mayor of Zew Nealand, Major Icy, is offered to some back to Valuton to pled the case for the population of Zew Nealand to be evacuated over there.

Martha greets the party and invites them in. The storm that hit the Spice Isles didn't impact Cawksport or Bear Island. When the party mention Mermaids, Martha says they aren't native to the Shallow Sea, but Sea Elves are. But the Sea Elves haven't been seen since the storm. The party confirms they are transported over here somehow.
The party describe the portal in detail, the sage says she had a book that talked about portals like that, but that book, "A Treatise on the Void by Maribelo" was stolen from her shop a couple of months ago. 
Albert tries to find some underword contacts to find who sold the book or where it went. He leave the party into a back allyway to talk with a thief in thieves cant.
