You hired well, yes? — Stormy
Negas smiles and turns away. There’s something more. Something’s going on.
Stormy thinks we ere being tested.
Astral Plane
4 6-hour shifts. We should spread out across the shifts.
Rashid on the helm for 1 shift.

Jules the giant astral squid attacking the Dola's Fortune
DM to give info on “Called Shot” - > rules page
We hit it with everything.
Cita manages a called shot.
We fend ”Jules” off and Rashid gets covered in black inky goo.
Minor damage to the ship. Gregor drives. Stormy heals trip and writes about the adventure. Might be a song.
Negas does a double ration of rum after.
Liverness
We reenter wild space. A ball of water with spots of green. On water farms. Squig potato melon fruit.
Negas is watching the dollar signs as the ship loads with the oil.
Cernan and Stormy pick up
bracelets made out of the seaweed.
White iron arch - a jaw bone - the entry into the hut.
healing potions - fish oil based - we pick up greater healing x 5 - is like an ointment
Stormy asks Negas more about the profit on the oil. We’ll talk on route again.
he gets it for pennies, sells each for 100 gp
Heading to Arturus.
Stormy is uncomfortable with the look Negas gave a while back.
Rashid and Cernan talks with Falkteeth.
Negas has only been on ship once before. Never hired extra crew. Haven’t been to Arturus in 7-8 cycles. The itinerary changed when we got on board.
Atrurus fancy wines and spices. Cash. Tougher run.
after the thing with the pirates - it was a test. He was happy were good at fighting.
We will be the muscle for a score. - we will be going a pirating!?!?!?
Enter wild space of Arturus
Rashid is at the helm through wildspace
He notices something - another ship. Not moving fast.
Gregor - not think it’s moving. Cernan thinks so. Name reads The Obra Din.
Murmur goes through the crew.
Has 5 balliasta. Half again as big.
What is the Obra Din. - went missing ages ago. People find her and never come back. But filled with wealth.
Negas comes up. We watch his reaction. See what we got. Easy salvage?
Do we see anyone on deck? Cita says there are people on the deck. Waving at us. Wearing fancy clothes.
Stormy thinks its a trap.
No one is at their helm.
We go in overhead. Obra Din’s been missing 50-60 years.
as we get above the deck. Cita sees 5-6 people they are waving us closer. Deck is covered in piles of gold.
The people look aristocratic. What if they lost their wizard - they’d be dead in the water.
Rashid will use message and Gregor will take the helm. Message: Who are you and what is your situation. (Random person)
Reply: Claim their wizard died ages ago. Desperate. Almost out of rations.
2nd reply: (how many are on ship) - 6 and crew abandoned them. Please help us.
Rashid - dispel magic on the ship. All the gold on the deck disappears. But the people are still there.
3rd message: The gold disappeared what’s going on (Rashid). Response: The illusion to make people want to try to them them. Mention someone named ambrose - it was silly. They really do need help.
4th: If Ambrose made the illusion, he can’t help with anything else? He claims Ambrose has a wand. We can have it if we want. (They are having a conversation too)
5th: What help do you need? Response: They want off the ship. Take them to Arturus. Claiming will starve soon. Please help us.
6th: how are you still here - your ship disappeared 60 years ago. No supplies last that long. Response: floating in Astral plane most of the time. Didn’t need food until here. Stuck in the moon’s gravity.
Stormy asks Negas if he knew about the Obra Din. He was in his cabin.
Possible to tow. Would be hard.
Let’s get a wizard there. Claim salvage. Spelljammer helm and ballista - worth money.
Ask name: Martin. And all were passengers.
We’ll be claiming salvage, can bring provisions, they go under deck. They immediately happy to have different provisions.
We go via rope. We ask for one of the crew to come with us. Cubins Duckworth will come with us.
Cernan does not detect any of his list of detectables.
Pause here. (We are all +
Cubins Duckworth are on the Obra Din.)
