The team sailed back to Refuge and paid for a resurrection for Hekera but respected Intevar’s wishes to be laid to rest.  While at the Low Dive, they met a fortune-teller named Edonna who needed to get out of town quickly.  She joined the team, and the group set back out into Wildspace and then the Flow.  Along the way, the continued to train in ninjutsu with Master Needle.  During the trip, both Jiraiya and Khesen earned their red belts under his tutelage. 

About a day out from Realmspace, they were attacked by a pair of void bonesuckers who grappled Faylen and pulled her off the ship.  The team quickly responded with Neko using mind thrust, Edonna casting haste, and the team scrambling into position.  The first bonesucker was killed pretty quickly while the group changed to ranged weapons and received a recitation from Edonna to further enhance their capabilities.  Faylen was screaming in pain in the tentacles of the bonesucker while the team fired arrows, magic missiles, and even leapt out into space to fight it!  Eventually, it was brought down by a blast from Edonna’s voidmote spell.  The group pulled Faylen back in and nursed their wounds.

The party decided to head out from Refuge and continue their journey.  They debarked from Refuge and spent the next five days traversing Refugespace and training in ninjitsu with master Needle.  Sailmaster Tuk was able to locate a portal, and they soared back into the Phlogiston.  They spent three days in the Flow before a lifeboat came twirling through the air and slammed into their ship.  It broke up and spilled four corpses onto the deck.  The corpses, covered in writhing green worms, rose up and attacked!

The creatures unleashed a fear aura which terrified several members of the party and drove them into a fleeing panic.  The undead started flicking worms at the party, and the green critters started burrowing into the flesh of the party members.  This was not a problem for the characters in their right minds, but the panicked individuals were unable to remove the worms and began suffering damage from the burrowing monsters!  The team cut down one spawn of Kyuss quickly, but the others began healing their wounds and continued hurling worms.  Before long only Neko and Khesen were unafraid and fighting back.  Meanwhile, worms burrowed into the brains of Intevar and Hekera as the team cut down the remaining spawn!  Intevar died first.  Screaming.  Far more frightening was the sudden silence.  Moments later Hekera dropped dead as well.  As panic wore off, the party examined the bodies to find them twitching and filling with rapidly multiplying worms!  Unsure what to do, Khesen twisted Hekera’s head from his body, stopping his transformation!  Neko went below and decapitated Intevar’s twitching corpse.
