	The deck of the ιPride of Sommerlundι becomes a hive of 
Š	activity as the crew set about getting the ship ready 
Š	to sail. When the last spread of canvas has been 
Š	unfurled and the cables are cast off from the 
Š	quayside, you feel the deck rock gently as Paoll 
Š	steers the cargo-heavy vessel towards the entrance to 
Š	Holmgard harbour. At first she responds sluggishly 
Š	and the First Mate curses her as he struggles with 
Š	the ship's wheel. Yet, once you pass beyond the 
Š	harbour's protective walls, a sea wind fills the 
Š	sails and the ship is swiftly transformed. Within 
Š	minutes of leaving harbour, ιThe Pride of Sommerlundι 
Š	is speeding swiftly eastwards through the foam-
Š	flecked waters of the Holmgulf.

	For six uneventful days you sail across the Gulf of 
Š	Durenor, the passage made easy by fair weather and a 
Š	strong following wind. After a night's anchorage at 
Š	Port Bax, the voyage continues along the Rymerift and 
Š	into the warm, turquoise waters of the Kuri Sea.
	Shortly after dawn of the 13th day, an island looms 
Š	into view on the horizon. Its white sand beaches and 
Š	rich vegetation appear innocuous, but Captain Raker 
Š	informs you that it is one of the notorious Lakuri 
Š	Isles. For centuries the bays and hidden coves of the 
Š	Lakuris have provided a safe haven for pirates, the 
Š	most imfamous of whom was Captain Khadro. Six years 
Š	ago this murderous buccaneer was slain by your 
Š	master, Lone Wolf, yet despite his demise the Lakuri 
Š	Islands still harbour renegades and pirates who have 
Š	set up camp here during the past year. Captain Raker
	scours the horizon with his telescope, seeking a 
Š	tell-tale glimpse of sail among the inlets and coves 
Š	which pepper the shoreline. During his last voyage he 
Š	came close to losing his ship in these waters and he 
Š	is understandably wary.
