The AGRP return in triumph to Phylothea. But, also to a surprise. The harbor is filled with ships! Onshore the city is packed with soldiers from all the neighboring lords. Overheard conversations tell a tale of a coming war with the humanoid kingdom of Getusia. The Dark Lord of the Gets has committed an unforgivable insult to the great king Agamemnon by capturing the Princess Melina and the murder of Prince Mylos.

Meeting for the first time with Lord Irus, the AGRP are royally congratulated on their victory over Zam. The Lord is understanding over the necromancer’s escape, and excited to discuss the upcoming war. The heroes learn how the Gets used dark magic to kill and impersonate Prince Mylos to enter the palace at Mycenae. Once in the palace they kidnapped the Princess and vanished.

King Agamemnon has put out a call to all lords to come and destroy the Gets. Lord Irus invites the AGRP to join him, and put the Blue Water Cutter at their disposal. He proposes a plan to coerce the cyclops Steropes, a brother of the Titans, to help in the battle for the walled city of Smyrna. Steropes has a herd of Bullettes also known as land sharks. Irus hopes to use them to breach the walls. Irus proposes that they capture Steropes daughter Dionysus. The heroes question the morality of kidnapping, but Irus points out the tendency of Steropes to eat humans, and the promise no harm would come to Dionysus.

A fast sail aboard the Cutter lands the heroes on the rocky barren shores of Katsiki. Leading a detachment of sailors and captain Xevos the party travels inland where they encounter their first landshark.
