Synopsis for Uther?
If no one did a detect magic to define power level and school of the items, Uther does so.
Uther can Identify stuff too if we have time and folks provide funding.

If there could be a recap for Uther that would be great.
Much better title this time around. No XP deduction for usurping the DM

During your trip, between Uther and Tadren you identify the following:
The dagger is +3 Dancing. It has Mousers symbol on it.
The bracers are +4 Ogre Power
The Battle Axe is +2 Mighty Cleaving. It is clearly Dwarven make.
The other ring is Evasion. It also has Mousers symbol.
The chain shirt is +3 Arrow Deflection.
The potions are extra healing (4) and Neutralize Poison (3). All have Lancins symbol.
The long sword is +3 Keen. Burke and Shun Quan examine the chain shirt and long sword. Both are very well made and are not Horarian. Burke concludes they are from Tur-Son-Do.

Godric has the chain shirt, but would anyone be opposed to me claiming the long sword too?

Filling in the gaps due to punctuation issues... yes, Uthar can have the axe. It wouldn't be very kosher of us to claim something so incredibly dwarven without giving you first dibs.

The bracers are +4 Ogre Power Ruby politely requests these, as there is nothing else in the pile that has any use to her. I will use my armoring skills to find a way to wear them.

The other ring is Evasion. It also has Mousers symbol. Ruby had been wearing this, but upon hearing its function, she gives it up.

The potions are extra healing (4) and Neutralize Poison (3). All have Lancins symbol.

Godric gladly hands the bracers to Ruby.

Good deduction. However, upon looking up the Mighty Cleaving ability, this is of limited use to Uther. It requires the Cleave feat, which Uther does not have. It goes back in the pile.
Ill take the evasion ring.

It just so happens that Godric has Cleave. :)

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.

Wait

While this seems like a perfectly appropriate reply, my guess is the GOLK apostrophe curse struck again.

Argh. Thought I got them all.
So we are heading to another planet on a space ship?

Dylan squints painfully. " Yes.. we are currently in space. Which amazingly is both darker and brighter all at the same time. What we are doing when we get to Dakon is close the portal. One might think, if we go there to close the portal how would we get back? But saving our planet seems to be worth the sacrific.

For Uther
-
Is there any other fallout from the attempt to sabotage the Icefean / Katho relationship? Seems like we left in a hurry, might want to send some correspondents to both sides. But I guess Professor Hardgrove knows all this already.
I am not sure why a entity from Dakon would care about a perceived alliance between two powers on Habololy.Or is it more two celestial powers, then contries?

To whom are you posing these questions?

Attempt 2 for Uther. To be clear, it is 8 days to the rift and you can discuss and ask questions in that time, but the session/season ended with the ship on dry land and all of you awakening to what are clearly not your stars or moon.
There was also a note from Professors Hargrove and Berko instructing you to uncover and thwart the enemy plan but to not close the rift if it can be avoided.
-
During the 8 days Uther is given a lesson on how to use the spelljammer helm. You can only provide a minimal amount of sustained propulsion, and you never actually go to full speed, but for this maneuvering speed you do just fine.
On the 4th day Dylan and Ruby are invited to Lord Tadrens quarters. They find the captain, the ships mage the navigator Tessa and Tadren surrounded by a pile of books and scrolls. Tadren tells you These are copies of all the works from my family and the Darpus family library on spelljamming. Dig in.

Probably Nisoru, after apologizing for taking his form, for the 100's time.

Digs in happily to the books, running little experiments of things he learns.

So I did post something here earlier in the week and it’s disappeared. I’ll leave this as a test to see if the problem reoccurs.

Uther also dives in to the research materials with Ruby and Dylan.

Uther also dives in to the research materials with Ruby and Dylan.
The materials are a diverse but fairly organized collection. Some of them detail the voyages of early Spelljammers, which include several of the noble and high noble families, others log ships that visited Habololy. The more utilitarian works discuss combat in space, atmospheric conditions and perhaps most important maneuvering in and out of orbit. There is repeated emphasis on the danger of fire, both to the ship and crew and to the ship’s atmosphere envelope.
-
What is notably absent, or at least under represented, are works about other worlds. Tadren tells you that many years ago there was a fire at the Tolist library and many precious works on the subject were destroyed. Not long after there was an attempt to steal the copies of many of the same works from the Bardic College.
There are several books discussing the space faring races including the Mind Flayers, Beholders, Neogi and others. There are also details about many of the common sorts of ships. After reading through them it’s clear that the White Sword is not built for a long voyage. It has too many crew to sustain and maintain a clean atmosphere. However, with a few exceptions, it outguns almost anything you could encounter by a considerable margin.
-
By day 5 Burke appears to have recovered all of his strength (and reclaimed any missing bits of equipment). Fully arrayed, his dress is clearly not of any Habololian culture. All of his gear has seen hard use but is of the sort of quality the nobles are accustomed to. He would look most at home among the Wokals or Colrains; not as rough as an Arramoor or as fine as a DeGala.
He spars with the marines and the captain, easily defeating them. The warriors among you think is technique less sophisticated than Nisoru’s, more reckless and aggressive. A duel between them likely would be unfair only because of Nisoru’s age but you are certain he would be no match for Syionese Etch just based on your limited time observing him at the Iron Tower.

Well that’s going to be a problem for Uther.

It’s not that you can’t use fire. All the cooking is done on a hearth for example, just the particular danger it poses.
-
Dylan find the dark of space comforting.
-
On the 6th day there is a commotion on deck and the chief calls everyone to their stations. Your Minotaur captive has disappeared from the brig. No one is sure when he was last seen and for over an hour the ship is searched deck by deck until a lookout calls the captain back to the deck. Looking through the ships largest spyglass you can see his frozen corpse floating in space miles behind you.

That's unfortunate. Do I detect any evil onboard? I'll search the entire ship if I have to.

You do not; neither active nor lingering.
