On their way to the Dairy Islands, the Colby is attacked by Primsy's new husband, Stilton Curdeau, in an attempt on her life.
Recap[]
"Last we met our heroes, they had been sailing from the Pulp Bay around the Yogurt Shoals. After dinner they had a nice tea with the Duchess Primsy Coldbottle, and are very high born, technically prisoners of the Dairy Islanders, caught between some Rock Candy and a sharp place-- get it, cheddar cheese? [Cast: Next. Get out of here.] Where helping their old allies would make them enemies of the Concord, but not helping them would ruin their honor."
"While figuring out what to do, the Duchess Primsy Coldbottle explained that she was married to the very ambitious, up and coming devout young lord of House Bleu, Stilton Curdeau, and a bunch of threads started to connect. When all of a sudden, the Dairy Air came alongside the Colby, rammed her underneath with some cheese steel along the keel, and scuttled the ship, which began to sink."
"We begin in the dark aboard the Colby, in the midst of the Yogurt Shoals in the great Dairy Sea as a storm [lightning sounds] rages around. In brief flashes of lightning you see figures aboard the other ships, but the faint light of the torches on the Colby illuminates only a small area of what you can see on the water. As you look around, the ship sinking, you see your fate and hear the cries of the House Bleu marauders."
Synopsis[]
Jet stands in the crow's nest with Primsy. From a House Bleu ship, Stilton swings on to the nest and stabs Primsy, unaware of Jet's presence. Cumulous Rocks appear on the marauder's boat below and introduces himself to her. She turns back to Stilton and wipes shadow from her eyes as she stabs him with Flickerish. As Stilton is knocked off the crow's nest, Jet hurdle's a hidden dagger at him sending him to the bottom of the ocean. She kneels down next to Primsy and attempts to heal her but she does not know how. Primsy apologizes for not believing them earlier to which Jet reassures her that she is a strong woman for standing by her choices. From below on the Colby, Ruby sends Yak up to the crows nest to give aid to Jet.
Marauder ships surround the sinking Colby ship. Liam jumps over to the nearest marauder ship, the La Fondue, where he stands enshrouded in darkness and invisible to the attackers. One gets a lucky hit on him before a raging Amethar jumps aboard and joins the fray with most of the Cheddar crew following. Together they take out marauders on the ship. Moving forward on the deck, Liam sees another marauder ship, and despite the violent waves, he shots his crossbow and kills its captain. The other ships crew begin to try and sail away from the fight.
Towards the sunken back of the ship, Theobald stands on the deck as they are boarded by House Bleu marauders, and he is able to avoid most of their attacks. Seeing the commotion above him with Jet and Primsy, Theobald uses a nearby rope to swing up to the crow's nest and attempts to help stabilize Primsy but fails. A marauder swings to their position and attacks him immediately, causing Jet to pick up Primsy and jump down to the small boat with Cumulous with Yak following close behind. Seeing the Colby sinking further into the sea, marauders abandon the ship back into their rowboat and row away. The front marauder fires a shot a Cumulous, but it is deflected back at the marauder, injuring the assailant. The other marauders hook on to the small boat. As Cumulous leaps into the marauder's rowboat and kills one of them in a flurry of his staff, Jet is finally able to stabilize Primsy.
From above, Theo recognizes Cumulous from the memory where he first became Lazuli's ward. Captain Annabelle runs up to the nest and attacks the marauder with him and Theobald then shoves him into the sea. He turns to her and says, "Hope we're good now," before jumping down to the small boat and then leaps into the rowboat attacking the nearest marauder. As she looks down, Annabelle notices Ruby has stabilized her cousin and gives her a salute with her sabre in thanks. Jet then knocks the ropes of from the small boat and the rowboat is unmoored.
Without Annabelle steering, the Colby sinks further into the sea, causing waves to rock the smaller boats throwing Theobald, Jet, and Annabelle overboard. Amethar see the trouble his family is in and jumps back onto the Colby and gets the last crew member to swing the ship towards the smaller boats. Theobald is able to grab onto the ships mast and burst out of the sea into the rowboat taking an attack meant for Cumulous.
The Colby sinks further downwards but it is not able to drag Amethar under the waves. However Ruby is knocked overboard by the storm, and her father, unable to save her, joins the attack on the rowboat. Raging, he starts throwing men overboard into the mast of La Fondue. Ruby calls Yak back to her as she flips back on board where she attempts to throw a rope to Annabelle, but it sails past. Seeing this and with the Cheddar crew mates fatally injured, Liam turns back to kill the remaining marauders on board with him. With a safe path, Liam runs to the wheel and steers his ship over the sunken part of the Colby. In the distance, they see the farthest House Bleu marauder ship sail away without a captain. Annabelle is finally able to climb to safety aboard, and she take the wheel from Liam. The last Cheddar crew mate on the Colby along with their fallen friend also make it aboard.
Back at the rowboat, Jet is able to launch herself back onto the boat and sneak attacks the marauders. Theobald, Jet, Amethar, and Cumulous are left with two marauders who promptly kneel and surrender. Cumulous kills one marauder, and Jet kills the other. Primsy is brought onto the rowboat with the group, and then they all board the House Bleu marauder ship. All injured Chedder crew members are stabilized except for the one the last crew mate drug on to the deck.
