The Heroes awake on the northern shore of the Isle of Dread, shaken from their ordeal but relatively intact. The Sea Wyvern lies holed, impaled on a reef a few hundred feet from shore, thus leaving only one option - a dangerous overland journey to Farshore. As the Heroes take stock of the situation, a hungry tyrannosaurus wanders out of the jungle looking for a quick meal. After dealing with the beast, they plot a route to safety using a diary retrieved from Urol's possessions. Before the party leaves the shores, they must gather up all the survivors and as many provisions as they can find.
The journey to Farshore takes the castaways through a jungle inhabited by large predatory birds and hungry dinosaurs. After encountering an old crone with an obsession for spiders, the Heroes come to an ancient underground ruin manned by monstrous scavengers and the restless dead. As they leave, they can't shake the suspicion that they are being watched.
On the other side of the mountains, the trail winds along a stretch of shoreline cliffs. A primitive band of gargoyles strikes at the Heroes numerous times before they can leave the cliffs for the island interior. This transition is hampered by a number of mishaps, and eventually the group heads into the island interior.
The Heroes find themselves in a fog-shrouded jungle with no apparent way out. That night, the fiend who has been silently stalking them finally strikes, abducting Tavey in the process. Recovering the boy leads the Heroes to an ancient shrine to Demogorgon, forcing them to deal with the fiend and his minions.
