Session 90: When Last We Met 8/18/24
General Summary
When last we met, the party were onboard an airship doing battle with its crew and members of the order of the perpetual shroud.
Seeing no other option, The captain, Ernesto Sharima, tries to parley with the party, Telling them that they have gotten what they came for and that if he is not allowed to deal with the spreading fires on the ship, They will all be incinerated. The party lowers their guard begins aiding the captain in fighting the fires. Vandread uses his multi-purpose tool to cast control flames, and Mistral uses a combination of prestidigitation and control water to help battle the fires. Through a concerted effort, the deck of the ship is left with only scorch marks and no further damage.
After that, the party barters with Ernesto to take them to their true destination, or face consequences. Seeing no alternative, he asks where they would like to go. Before the party gives their answer, they realize there might be someone scrying on them. Romaia uses her true sight and sure enough, sees an invisible orb of someone scrying on them. She relays this to the party and they try and figure out how to get rid of it. Romaia attempts to destroy it with an eldritch blast but it does nothing. They realize they would need to dispel the magic. In trying to figure out who among them has dispel magic prepared, Mistral realizes he has to additional spellcasters who are trapped in the bag of holding.
He evicts Sebastian, Maleeka, and Vandread's steel defender from the bag. Sebastian gasps for his life as he exits, Maleeka emerges not moving or breathing. Vandread attempts a spare the dying on Maleeka and this seems to stablilze her. Celeste then adminsters cure wounds and various healing potions upon her to get her back on her feet. Once she is pulled back from the brink of death and caught her breath, she explains that yes, She can dispel the magic, But she wouldn't be able to see what she is dispelling.
Romaia casts shape water to place a gout of liquid near the orb to kind of mark its general location. Vandread bestows enhance ability on Maleeka as she casts the spell and sucessfully destroys the orb that is spying on them.
Sebastian explains that whoever cast that can only recast it after 24 hours have passed.
Seeing that they have some time to make headway on their quest, They direct Ernesto to steer the ship inland along the Eternal Desert. They spend the rest of their day negotiating with Ernesto on the logistics of landing the ship in the Eternal desert. The party is of the mind that they wish to keep him close to make sure he doesn't abandon the party. Ernesto is of the mind that any number of monstrous catastrophes would befall them if they landed anywhere near the surface of the desert. While at this kind of impass, Mistral begins questioning his new captive. Archivist Theodred, on the inner workings of the Order of the Perpetual shroud.
The following day, the party awakens and sees another orb forming next to their ship.
And that's where we'll pick up next time!
