Zealots en-Dal. Outside the tunnel entrance to the stronghold, the imposing armies of the Kor and Dal have belatedly arrived and prepare to join the raid begun by the Vec and the Skyshroud elves.
Pandemonium. Inside the stronhold, the elves and Vec are surrounded by an overwhelming army of moggs and unable to make a strategic withdrawal. The Kor and Dal disrupt the battle and keep it from becoming a wholesale slaughter, but they, too, are trapped in a desperate situation.

The other leaders pledge loyalty to Eladamri; and united, they break through the mogg line and escape to continue the fight another day.
Convalescence. Tahngarth brings the wounded Mirri and the cursed Crovax to the Weatherlight for Orim to treat below decks. Tahngarth tells Hanna that they must all rendezvous in Volrath’s gardens, and then rushes off to rejoin the search party.
Treasure Trove. Unaware of the pain and torment below decks, Karn returns to the Weatherlight bearing the Legacy artifacts he successfully recovered from the Sliver Queen.
Skyshaper. Among the pieces of the Legacy, Hanna recognizes the Skyshaper—an artifact that will boost the Weatherlight‘s speed and improve their chances for escape. She sends Karn to install the artifact so that it will be operational and ready when they need it.
Cataclysm. Unfortunately, the Predator has finally found the Weatherlight and sends a series of harpoons Crashing into the smaller ship’s hull. Hanna turns this tactic against her antagonist by swerving into a series of daring turns to smash the Predator against the stronghold’s supports.
Hatred. Furious, Greven orders the harpoon lines. severed to avoid further damage to the Predator. He sends two ornithopters to maintain pursuit while he regains control of his ship, and then quickly sails after the Weatherlight to prevent the crew from making their escape.

Onslaught. In a furious rage, Tahngarth leaps onto the nearest tree and starts climbing. With a wild cry he jumps onto one of the pursuing ornithopters and casts the pilot out. Tahngarth drops onto the Weatherlight while the pilotless ornithopter spins out of control and crashes into the gardens.
Curiosity. Crovax, half mad because of voices in his head, staggers up to the main deck, followed by a suspicious Mirri When he attempts to sabotage the Weatherlight, Mirri hurls herself at him and the pair tumbles to the gardens below, grappling as they fall.

Slaughter. Gerrard must make a horrible choice: intervene in the battle between injured cat warrior and mad noble, risking the Legacy and the entire. crew’s lives; or make for his ship, leaving Mirri and Crovax to their shared fate. Agonied, he returns to the Weatherlight, with a furious Greven in pursuit.
Seismic Assault. The Weatherlight hurtles toward the canyon where the portal awaits. Close behind, Greven calls up the ground itself to block their progress, nearly ensnaring the Weatherlight in a wave of grasping flowstone tendrils.
Erratic Portal. Ertai and the Soltari have successfully opened the portal, which now stands active and awaiting the Weatherlight. On board the ship Hanna triggers the Skyshaper and Greven howls in fury as his prey streaks far ahead of him.
Aether Tide. Boosted by the Skyshaper, the Weatherlight is little more than a blur as it roars through the open portal. The Soltari are picked up in its wake and drawn in behind like leaves in a strong wind.
Mind over Matter. The Predator also hurtles towards the portal at top speed. At the last instant, a powerful figure gestures and the portal slams shut, crippling the Predator when the warship cannot turn away in time. The Weatherlight escapes, Ertai is left behind, and the planeswalker Urza contemplates his next move.
