A posting of the items identified by the Aeroblade would be helpful.
Castomel found the following

  • Uncle Tas' Scary Black Rock: Causes target, who is touched by the opal and fails a save, to see their worst fear
  • Can of worms: When opened, summons 4 (uncontrollable) giant carnivorous worms 1xper day
  • Lantern of solid ground:  Creates 20' radius of solid, immovable, unbreakable ground
  • A Marble
  • Leather helm of Comprehend Languages: Can understand and read any language

[my notes are at home, i will fill in the rest tonight]

"Edblade.  I defend the castle.  I do not create the music."
"Ok then Eddie.  Where did the music come from?  Since you defend the castle you must know about the defenses, right?"

While following the swords directions to the Aeroblade, Gwen will think at/to it "Since it appears we will be working together for a while, can you tell me what I should call you?  or what you can do? other than create music I mean, I already know that much from the battle with the statue back there."

I have seen more adamantium today then in my etire dwarfdom before today!


But he turns to Gwen , out of earshot, Speak up.. you know why the bugbear isn't dead?
"Know why? No.  But there were numerous tales from Icefia, Yellowia, the Great Forrest, even the Plateau of a ferocious Bugbear who dies in one great battle or another, or of a plague.  Taken individually, not all that surprising or noteworthy.  But, my dad had a theory that it was the same Bugbear in all of these stories.  He, my dad, can... (Gwen is clearly about to say something and you can see her change her mind about what she is going to say before she continues) knows a lot of people and reached out to them to get better accounts of what happened.  While he couldn't get first hand accounts of every battle, he got enough to theorize that the Bugbear in all of the stories was the same one.  With what we just witnessed here today, I'm guessing that our Zalthor may just be the Bugbear from those stories."

During the 2 weeks, word of Q's drinking adventure makes the round of the ship.  Gwen becomes inspired and decides to immortalize the event in song...

Drinking Pace

[Verse 1]
Crewmates, crewmates, tell the deckhands
That Q’s reign has just begun
I got my first stipend on Badger Five
Then I challenged the biggest one

[Verse 2]
Barkeep, barkeep, please just witness
I ain’t layin’ down my mug
I near kissed death off my Doom Chariot
Forgive me—now watch me chug

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Badger, Badger) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Trust me) Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough
And it’s hard to stay upright when there’s no rail to lean on

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q says, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t let my “boss talk” start a brawl
Now we gotta keep the pace

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the drink
Keep the drink
Q says, we gotta keep the pace

[Verse 3]
Tell me, big guy, when I outdrink you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you nod while I talk about me, me
Just hide behind your pride? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Captain, captain) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Don’t ditch me) Everybody’s sweatin’ ’cause the tab is rough
Well, it’s hard to act the boss when there’s no crowd to lean on

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Crew, we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) I’m level one, but I still run this hall
Right now we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) “Avian are better”—yeah, that’s my thing
Crew, we gotta keep the pace

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Oh, we gotta keep the pacek
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Crew, we gotta keep the pace

[Bridge]
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I’ve been rollin’ on the Doom Chariot
Through Badger Five’s tight bays
I don’t like the way they look at me
Like my crown’s a joke they made
Sometimes I wait forever
For them to say I’m right
So no one sees me wobblin’
Tryna walk a straight-line tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
(Captain, crew) Everybody wants somebody to toast
(There’s tabs I’ve run I can’t erase)
Everybody wants somebody to roast (And every night I swear I’m great)
Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough (It’s hard with these blue guys in your face)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the drink (First they were cool, Now they’re not cool)

[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t you let your pride start a brawl
Right now, we gotta keep the pace

(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace
Tryna stand up, tryna stand up, yeah
drink (Ow!)
Keep the pace, keep the pace
Everybody, keep the pace
(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everybody wants somebody to roast
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Oh, na-na, oh, na-na)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the pace (Oh!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)

Gwen's song - "Last Fight" (with apologies to Nickelback? Maybe?)

Even if the fight ends before the song does, Gwen continues to sing and is accompanied, strangely, by her sword.  There is an imbedded crystal lattice pattern that can be seen on the blade that begins to ever so lightly pulse and glow as Gwen begins to sing.  And (approximately 6 seconds later) the sword begins an A Capella type melody and backup vocals to her singing

[Verse 1]
My father gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no sword unsheathed, leave no spells untried And try to take your foe from his blinded side
That first attack you make should be made with pride (Would you, would you?)

[Chorus]
If tonight was your last fight
Do you think that you just might
Overcome one final foe tonight? (Would you, would you?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old comrades in the past?
Keep swinging till your verry last? (Would you, would you?)
If tonight was your last fight (Would you, would you?)
(If tonight was your last fight)

[Verse 2]
Undoing wrongs should be a way of life
The biggest prize always have the biggest fights
Chronomancy's out, there'll be no second tries (Try, Try)
So swing and stab and punch like you won't get to twice
Don't take the Iotian way in your own life

[Chorus]
If tonight was your last fight
Do you think that you just might
Overcome one final foe tonight? (Would you, would you?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old comrades in the past?
Keep swinging till your verry last? (Would you, would you?)
Will you avenge old friends to some degree?
Ignite old rivalries?
Vanquish your enemies? (Would you, Would you)
And would you find that score you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to the gods above
That you'll find your dad thereof? (That you'll find your dad thereof)
If tonight was your last fight

[Bridge]
If tonight was your last day
Would you make your mark by stabbing right through their heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars, Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
Cause you can't rewind a round in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
Cause the flow of time is never on your side

[Chorus]
If tonight was your last fight
Do you think that you just might
Overcome one final foe tonight? (Would you, would you?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old comrades in the past?
Keep swinging till your verry last? (Would you, would you?)
Will you avenge old friends to some degree?
Ignite old rivalries?
Vanquish your enemies? (Would you, Would you)
And would you find that score you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to the gods above
That you'll find your dad thereof? (That you'll find your dad thereof)
If tonight was your last fight

Feat with name to be determined that allows you to ignore the negative effects of gravity sickness.  This occurs when you cross the plane of a ship's gravity.  It also allows you to negate the effects of a different gravity than you are used to when visiting other planets.

  • Aether-Balanced
  • Go with the Phlo
  • Wildspace Acclimation
  • Astral Anchor
  • Gravitic Adaptation

Damien would be an option.  He would be looking for any new frontier with significantly less Quan Yin in it.
