The team asked Wizzlecrank if he could detect any thoughts aboard the vessel, and he could not. Their new teammate Vulkanthos (“Khan”) cast displacement before they boarded. With no visible threat on the upper decks, the group rushed down into the hold with Hekera illuminating his chemtech tail to light the way. Within the hold they found the crew, wide-eyed and alert but strangely silent! The men and women attacked, proving themselves surprisingly capable combatants. Khan cast warrior’s touch and Callum cast scorching ray. The fire caused one of the crew to explode! Instead of gore, he burst into a dusty cloud of spores. One of the now obviously inhuman crew paused and screamed! His yell was so loud as to deafen Snagy! He retreated out of the hold to clear his head. A moment later, another screamed and deafened Ursay!
Some of the team fell back while others remained in the cargo hold. Hekera and Khan went back-to-back fighting the strange creatures while Polaris and Helg paired up several feet away. Helg cast blessing of fervor to augment the team. Ursay unleashed several arrows. The team cut down creature after creature causing explosions of spores to fill the hold. They cleared the area and emerged, using Callum who had polymorphed into a small water elemental to wash each other of spores.
They used semaphore to call in the other ships and spoke with Captain Steelshank. They told him what they found and warned them of the spores in the lower deck. The captain paid them as promised, and the group flew off into Wildspace. Hekera and Helg had the nagging thought they had witnessed something like these exploding people before.
