The team inspected the cargo purchased by the gnomes and met the new crew member, Mick. Or Patrick? Maybe it was Nick. Or Rick. Perhaps Alerick. Or, Broderick? Whatever. They also met their new giant space hamster. The group visited Ozamata to tell them where they were going (but not why) and see if there may be some kind of business opportunity there. He pondered a few moments and then told them he has heard of an interesting Fireheart Spice recently being sold out of Greyspace. It apparently gives food a fiery sensation and peppery flavor, and Ozamata would love to try it.
The group boarded The Perry and headed out away from Bral and the Tears of Selune. After a while, they achieved spelljamming speed. After four days they came out of spelljamming speed in proximity to a drifting green-painted tradesman ship. Along the side of the fish-shaped green ship the name The Green Guppy stood out clearly. The party got closer, and Edonna went over the edge and tied herself to the battle platform and cast detect thoughts. She was overwhelmed by strange thoughts and sensations. She got images of a tome, a candle, and maybe some kind of shrine? Disjointed images flew through her head, causing her to get sick over the side of the ship. She realized some flickering, nearly intangible intelligence noticed her and began looking back at her! She dropped her spell and told the team what happened.
They caught a glimpse of a humanoid shape moving past the helm room glass. They decided to just leave, but the ship moved with them! The gnomes tried to shake free, but the tradesman’s pilot was at least as skilled as them. Before long, they were side-by-side and matching speed. The team yelled out at the empty upper deck with no response and signed with semaphore. With no response, they decided to stop the ship and board. They walked around on the top deck and cut the rope on the catapult. Helg cast detect magic to test the door and found nothing.
They moved down into the ship and found what they believed to be the bridge. They yelled out and got a response! They got the sense the voice, claiming to be injured, was trying to delay. They threw open the door and found two armored undead! One stood in baroque green full plate and carried a greatsword. Hideous green worms swarmed all over creature. From the helm, an other armored undead arose also carrying a greatsword. Red arcane symbols were engraved all over its body. A spellstitched sword wight! The sword of Kyuss hit many of the team with an invocation of the worm, wracking them with negative energy! The reason for delaying revealed itself as a tragic spectre emerged and drained life from Edonna! The party was split up in the narrow chambers because some had fallen back up the stairs after the energy blast. Now divided, the team was in trouble. From the back of the ship, someone yelled to not abandon him among the dead, but Khesen felt that was a deceptive statement.
Hekera decided the best way out is through, and he stepped up and attacked the sword of Kyuss! He landed a critical hit and destroyed the creature. The spectre continued to be a life-sucking problem. The wight missed its attack and was also cut down by Hekera. Notch, armed for ghost touch arrows, riddled the spectre with shots and destroyed it! The team looted the room and yelled back at the voice down the hall!
