Things Were Beginning to Not Phlo Well

[Asinjin]

It is the 28th day of the 4th month of 818, but Habololy dates.

Everyone get 400xp with individual to come.

[Asinjin]

Discussion of what will be done on the planet.

[Windblade]

As we get close to the planet Zef is extremely eager to get off the ship and when the ship is close in positions flies out with the Aeroblade to test the atmosphere of the new planet.

Phineas start to eagerly write down the coordinates of the planets in the solar system and he even writes down the time traveled between each crystal sphere.

[Asinjin]

A correction to what I said last night.  Although Phineas thought it would take almost two days to get to the first planet, it only took half that time.  He adjusts the times to the other planets based on that information and thinks it will take only two days to get to either of them from here.

As you examine Karo and the melted glass from the ship, it becomes clear to those with any knowledge (Dr Hat) that it should have killed him and clearly he has some magic that protected him from the fire.  Anyone else would have been killed.

If he will reveal, or we can determine, what item grants him fire resistance, the Dr. offers to permanently, surgically, attach the item to him.

Some details about the ship:

- there are 1, 2, or 4 decks on the ship
- you could consider the observation dome a 5th desk
- the ship is 200 feet at both its longest and widest points
- not including landing gear when down, it is 50 feet high, not including the dome
- only 8 of those 50 feet are below the gravity plane and that is the lower bridge with the back up helm

- there are five exits: the dome, the bay, the battle bridge, and two hatches on the in wings
- there are six weapons: two fireball generators, one ice ray cannon, one ballista, two cannon
- the hall, like a lecture hall that can accommodate 50, is the lower two desk starboard side
- the so called fighter's room is the lowest desk port side near the stern
- the new brigs (formerly storage) port side aft wing lower deck
- the neck of the ship is a 35 foot hallway which is 8 feet wide; it has storage lockers on both sides of the hall and several narrow windows high and low on both sides

At some point after our encounter with the fire bat, Q tracks down Dr. Hat, rolling up to him aggressively/eagerly on his Doom Chariot. He rocks back and forth on it anxiously as he speaks to you.

“You! Hat Roach! Today is your lucky day. I have something to show you that you won’t want to miss. It’s about that living construct. Come to my maintenance shop at 6 bells. Be prompt. And bring a jacket.”

At some point after our encounter with the fire bat, Q tracks down Dr. Hat, rolling up to him aggressively/eagerly on his Doom Chariot. He rocks back and forth on it anxiously as he speaks to you.

“You! Hat Roach! Today is your lucky day. I have something to show you that you won’t want to miss. It’s about that living construct. Come to my maintenance shop at 6 bells. Be prompt. And bring a jacket.”

“Excellent!” (What’s a roach?)

[Hero]

“Excellent!” (What’s a roach?)

Assuming you show up to the maintenance shop on time, Q ushers you in then closes, locks and bars the door behind you. The shop is surprisingly empty. No tools out, no works in progress, clean workbenches. With the exception of a single ornate box clamped on one table.

“If you speak a word to anyone about what I’m going to show you today, it will be the last thing you do. My wrath will be merciless. My current plan would be to chemically incapacitate you while you sleep, drag you back to this workshop, and spend the rest of my days finding new and creative ways to shove your entire needle collection into your exoskeleton while you sit there aware but unable to move or scream. Or I may improvise. Are we clear?”

[Hero]

Q lifts the box up and underneath on the table is a slightly glowing snow globe, glass sphere about the size of a softball, sitting in an intricate brass base. Inside the sphere is an igloo, which is the source of the faint glow. Q picks it up, gives it a hearty shake, and quickly clamps it back down on the table. While the snow inside is still swirling, he grabs your arm, touches the globe, and quietly trumpets some phrase in dohwar. There’s a flash of light.

When your eyes clear, you and Q are standing in a cylindrical room about 10 ft in diameter and 25 ft high. It’s cool, but not freezing, probably 50 degF. The walls are large, stacked, bluish white blocks that look like snow but are firm to the touch. The ceiling is a glass dome, and outside of it you see a panoramic view of the maintenance shop. There are 4 doors, 90 degrees apart. Q hops off his Doom Chariot and walks over to 1 of them.

“No going back now. Follow me. And wipe your feet before you enter.”

[Malchia]

“No going back now. Follow me. And wipe your feet before you enter.”

Q gets more and more intriguing with each interaction. I feel like I'm watching a show that just ended the season on a cliffhanger.

I can hear the narrator say "Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of Q and the Hat Roach. Season 2 coming soon."
