This was a “flashback” session taking place two days before Game Session 76.
The team came out of spelljamming speed to find an approaching tradesman rotated along a different axis than The Perry. The ships re-oriented to where their gravity planes matched. Someone on board used semaphore to communicate peaceful intentions. The ships closed together and joined atmospheres. The team was amazed at the quality of fresh air wafting aboard. The ship was covered in beautiful plants and was towing a cargo barge likewise covered in beds of growing plants.
The ship was a pilgrim vessel for a group of Chauntean followers. The leader was an older woman with silver hair bound in a crown of vines and flowers. This woman, Elowen Greenblossom, possessed amazing emerald-colored eyes. Her right-hand man was Brother Alden, a jovial halfling gardener. Their guardian was an adopted elven archer, Sylaria Moonshadow, who was raised among humans and lived three generations with the same family.
Elowen and Alden were very excited to take a tour of The Perry. Alden made fast friends with the tinker gnomes. Elowen wanted to meet the giant space hamsters! The party allowed her to speak privately with the hamsters, and she seemed pleased with whatever they discussed.
The party learned the Chauntean pilgrims brew their own coffee beans, and with the Earthmother’s blessing, had created several magical beans. They sold these beans to the party so they can make their own arboreal brew, Chauntea’s blessed brew, and revitalizing brew. Komorebi appraised the beans and found the Chaunteans were dealing quite fairly with them.
They began swapping tales of things they had encountered and rumors they had heard. The team shared a warning about Kyuss worms and told them about Bral. In turn, Elowen told them about a rumor of a militant faction of Red Wizards buying up magical weapons all around Realmspace for some unknown reason. They also heard about a pirate vessel found near Bral. The few survivors onboard claimed they were attacked by muscular goblins of unbelievable strength. Finally, they mentioned an elven man-o-war recently informed them to be careful because drow were being encountered in increasing numbers.
The team asked the Chaunteans for some plants, which delighted the pilgrims. They came aboard, and with the help of the tinker gnomes, installed a flower bed on the bill of The Perry which they filled with creeping phlox. Then the group had a wonderful musical celebration led by the inspired musical talents of Komorebi. Finally, Edonna used her gift of prophecy to provide guidance to the pilgrims for safe travel over the next week. They all then said their goodbyes.
A day out from the interaction with the pilgrims, The Perry swept up five grey scavvers into the ship’s atmosphere. The shark-like creatures quickly shook off void stasis and attacked the party and crew! Komorebi and Edonna spelled up the party, and Notch unleashed a volley of arrows and slew several incoming scavvers. The creatures got in close, and Komorebi was able to scare them with blistering invective (catching one on fire) and then frighten them with his dirge of doom. Notch killed them as they started to flee, and one of the burning scavvers landed on the wooden ship! Edonna was able to use her canteen to mostly douse the flames, and they dragged the monster over the side and safely away.
