While Miria & Edryk face a deadly trap, The Master & his acolyte Halu conspire to murder Miria, and Yanghu extracts a bloody revenge on the crew of the pirate ship Xur.

This epsiode uses a ship layout diagram from Cepheus Deluxe as its dungeon map, but is played entirely with Swords 7 Wizardry. It focuses primarily on the activity of the campaign’s villains. It includes several encounters with human bandits, soldiers, and sergeants at arms as described in Swords & Wizardry.

Yanghu is a very old and powerful Ogre Mage who has been a captain in the Trassi smuggling and irate fleet for centuries. 400 years ago, he discovered a crashed Gorum prison ship on Orbos, and turned it into a thriving business in living weapons. Selling the Gorum as weapons is so heinous that even the rest of the Trassi Syndicate might rebuke him if they knew… which is why he wants to make sure Miria is silenced. The destruction of his Corsair-class starship, the Ko-Dan has put him in a position where he needs to capture a new ship and a new crew.

Like all Ogre Magi, Yanghu can cast a fly spell and invisibility at will. He can also cast the following spells one per day: darkness 15ft. radius, charm person, polymorph self (into humanoid forms from 5-12′ tall), and cone of cold (8d6 damage, save for half)

Yanghu regains 1 hit point per round unless he is harmed by fire (including lasers) or acid.
