RECAP
We picked up where we left off which was right after the fight with the Umber Hulk and Neogi rider. It took several of the crew from the ship to eventually remove the dead Umber Hulk from Cornelis. After dusting ourselves off and some minor healing, we made our way into the vault. Our rabbit companion heard cries of help coming from inside somewhere. Frobner and Sunny stayed outside to guard the door while Q and the Grav made their way back to the ship.
Once inside, we noticed the walls in the hallway were covered in arcane runes, but Aeroblade let us know they had already been discharged. We made our way into a greatroom that was about 60 ft. around and 10 ft high. There was artwork on the ceiling, but it had been crudely altered to depict violence and death. We noticed there were five additional hallways that led to other doors. We started with the one where we heard the screams. The door was barricaded, so Oo'V morphed through a crack and scouted what was behind. He found several creatures locked in stone cells. They looked weak, so he came back out and told us what he found. Ganymede decided we should rescue them so we dismantled the barricade and opened the door. We discovered some sort of Humanoid that appears to have draconic scales around his neck, a Xixchil named Dr. Hat who introduced himself as a medic, a smaller version of a Stone Giant, an Elven looking creature and one other Human. They claimed they were passengers (and one crew) on a ship making it's way to Habololy when it was ambushed by Neogi pirates. It was the Neogi and Umber Hulk that imprisoned them for the last six weeks.
We applied what healing we could to them and decided to check the other chambers in the vault. We found a study that also had desecrated artwork, an empty armory, a smithy's room, and the main vault. The smithy's forge was converted into a rendering plant, complete with a flaming cauldron of liquified fat and humanoid remains. We started searching the room when, from underneath the cauldron, an Umber Hulk burst forth and spilled all the boiling melted fat towards us. Several of us were burned and the Human prisoner badly scalded. We engaged the Umber Hulk in battle and quickly defeated it with a few well-placed sling shots from Cas and a blast from the Gem Cannon. After the fight, we searched the remaining rooms including the main vault. Only Aeroblade was able to enter, but reported that there was nothing there of value. With the vault looted, Aeroblade suggested we move on to another planet where another vault resides. It said we needed to leave the Habolsphere in order to determine where to navigate next.
When we all returned outside the vault, Frobner and Sunny reported they saw an incoming Neogi craft beginning it's descent into Cald's atmosphere. We hoofed it back to the Eagle and decided to exit the planet while we stood a chance of being undetected.
Please note that the crew took the time to fill the ship's water storage unit while we were in the vault. We now have fresh water for as long as it lasts. We're still using the Horn of Plenty for food.
Also of note, once we all made our way back to the ship and completed introductions, the Elven fellow announced that he had over 100 years experience in the Void and wanted to be made captain of the Eagle. The Aeroblade wholeheartedly agreed, being that Elves are the superior race and that it was only natural that we follow him. Captain Ganymede decided to allow him to serve as captain for a week like everyone else did during their auditions in order to determine his qualifications. We all agreed on that course of action and ascended into space.
That's pretty much where we left off. Somewhere in between a shift change and ascending out of the sphere. Ocular was helmsman at the time, but was handing off to another shift. That's when Ganymede and Aeroblade decided to leave.
