Recap:
Dylan and Elayu landed on the ship, near the stern castle. Dylan appeared to be Nisouru. Dylan, wasnt' stopped as he pushed into the Capt's quarters. He woke the captain, and explained the deal. We decided to make way to the Capt of the Marines, a Vass. He was not in his bunk. We then moved to the Mage. He was in a trance, and unresponsive. Similar to the Shaman on the islands. Enbolded by proof, Dylan removed his illusion. We decided to check on sensitive area's of the ship. We when entered the elemental engine room, a sail was draped over the engine, and it was guarded by the Vass, who was possessed. The capt. and Dylan defeated the Vass, and removed the sail, which was anti-magic. This would have prevented the sale from moving. After that encounter we tried to find the cleric, also in a trance. Finally, we moved to the mess hall, where morning breakfast was just starting to be served. The capt ordered the men to stand down, and a melee ensued. 3 of the sailors who had breakfast were possessed and tried to capture the capt. We found red gems in the morning food, and only barely saved the crew.
Dylan then flied up to the crows next on Elayu where Lord Tadrin was surrounded by a spirit, and using call lightening to attack us. Not going to lie, the griffin did most of the work in subduing the possessed noble. Back up at the temple everyone else was ushering people up the mountain to safety, and sorting out the mess from the cube chamber.
We had a meeting later with all the important people. Here are the hightlights
- Oni - basically fiends of the Material Plane
- Oni where created in Dakon, Evil powers rewarded beings by making them Oni, Good Powers punished by make them Oni.
- The large rift in space, powers all the others rifts. ( One rift to rule them all )
- The large rift goes to Dakon
- Dakon - all the beings there are supposed to be dead. But for some reason that didn't work.
- The only way to close the rift is from the other side.
- Empty Man was not behaving didn't like it's role, which is why it was in prison
- No answer on why the Minotaur was in a cube
The Rift was 8 days travel by ship.. and then we found out the ship was a spell jammer, and up we went. Seems our mission has changed.
