The Last adventure ended with the party boarding the ship the Crimson Smile.  The captain of the ship is Major Yohanso.  His first mate is the talented Bubbe.  The 3rd in charge is his priestess sister Johanna.  He was able to find 2 other shipmates who were trapped near the boat.  So the drow have 5 persons again, and can head toward the lair of the dragon queen.
 
Within hours of the prison break! the Crimson Smile begins to pass villages near the shore.  Passing thru these enclaves gives the crew of the ship time to recon what, if anything is being said of the prison break, and to find out what news has traveled where.
 
The Crew was able to determine that they are in fact being pursued by one of the best bounty hunters in all of the underdark; Admiral Silva.  The admiral has a fleet of ships and well trained crewmates.  He always gets prisoners, but likes to take all the bounty when possible.  He usually takes his prisoners alive.
 
The Admiral has a 4 other officers that work with him and guide his missions.  They are Case Zamer his mystic oracle. He has a priest that looks over the divine nature of his missions called Father Russy.  He uses the muscle of Redbone Jeri and Blaine Blogger to ensure success each and every mission.  His ship is powerful and is called the Canine Fang
 
The party also determines that each crewmate of the Crimson Smile is worth 10,000gp each if returned dead.  25,000gp alive.  Many of the party begin to wonder if the Major is thinking about the loot as well.  "Who would really miss a little 1/2 ling named spitfire anyway mused one of the drow" followed with nervous laughter,
 
The party found themselves in a pitched battle right way.  They fought the 62 bounty hunters and mercenaries.  Spitfire fell paralyzed early in the fight, Havana found himself unconscious, and Cindarr was also held.  Only Janciss and Cashmir were able to fight on.  Major Yohanso and his Second mate were the only drow mercenaries to survive.  The party had their ship destroyed, but in the end they killed Admiral Silva and his evil gang of bounty hunters and traveled further down the river in their new boat the Canine Fang.  The party then left the boat, traveled inland to the lair of the dragon queen.  They reached a stone door where a dead party lay.  A group of 4 shadow beasts attacked Janciss, but the party easily defeated them and divided their treasure.
They are waiting to pass thru the doorway to find the dragon queen.
