In which our heroes ...

Oathar taunts the bad guy and he sucks the souls out of all of his remaining minions. How odd. Well, it's just us versus him. He casually bounces all the spells we cast at him, and the terrible Sorcery of him causes us to realize what an evil sorcerer actually is.

Next, round 7.

During round 7, Imre steals a soul away from the dark lord. The dark lord then turns to look at the building Eon is hiding in. Then he sends several of his other souls screaming towards us. They shoop into us. Oh dear. Imre has a bonus one, so he gets to have to two of them fight. We don't get that option. We mostly resist his mental control in soul will combat though so he casts mass black channels on everyone.

Oathar is the only one that eats the black channels and so loses both hands. Doh! Suddenly, Kyrik summons Blinky! Blinky kicks the possessing soul out of Kyriks body in exchange for a fate points.

Seeing this, the bad guy calls a halt to the combat. Hee offers to leave us alone and he will conceed the leadership of Fiden Fae if we will put him in contact with the agothu. Sheridan and Ivanova ask us to stall while they are sending power into the ritual at a lower safer rate while we stall.

We start stallin gby negotiating. Oathar starts getting ready to cast his vengenance, but then Blinky shows up again! Then Kallyo shouts "Done!" and he and Blinky vanish. Damn it. At least Blinky fixed Oathar's hands before leaving.

So, the chosen one Elena challenges for rulership of Fiden Fae. An old guy shows up to object, but he's wondering why his champion isn't here. The Black Orchid is in disarray. Without their giant evil challenger, they fall apart and she takes the throne by defeating some token challenger who shows up just to end all dispute. Black Orchid stock plummets.

The chosen one offers us a battalion of mages, or a magical siege weapon company and magical weapons for our own troops (say 1000 +10 weapons).

That night, Oathar and Kyrik get drunk, but Haeraan casts Dreams and asks what have we done?

He gets WRT Kallyo, "Do you remember the necromancer dude ranches and the city of moil. When Ascererak was trying to impose his consciousness upon the unlife... To a lagre extent, the outer voidis impressionable in that way. Aggoth is a mind beyond comprehension. Kallyo is trying to do that Ascererak thing with the Aggothu. if he does that, then the aggothu will have the ability of demons to understand the regular world, making them much more dangerous and organized."

WRT Eleyna: "As a side effect of this resolution, Eleyna didn't have to kill Kallyo in a sudden fight to the death, she's a lot less scarred than she would have been. We can be friends."

WRT Blinky: "Kallyo and Blinky are skipping down the yellow brick road. Blinky takes a break and he regurgitates something to someone else off at the side of the road. Then they continue on together."

We reminise about that treasure ship we found last week. Alynna tells of how she uncovered the figure head of a treasure ship. It was a strange figurehead in that it was of two women locked in an embrace, rather than the normal single woman looking ahead. Oathar thinks it was some sort of passenger liner. Kyrik identifies it as one of Kieron's pleasure barges. Yup, that's a pleasure barge. We explore deeper in. Below that is a set of well appointed rooms.

Alynna finds two large trunks that seems to be strangely well-preserved. There are a couple of magically well-preserved tapestries. Not Tasteful perhaps...but something.

The first chest has a line of ten perfume bottle. Oathar accidentally sprays one on himself. He's never noticed how alluring Alynna looked in her plate mail. Well, Oathar is gone.

Then there are five bundles of incense. Powers: +10 Seduction, powerful aphrodesiacs.

There are several grooming kits (+10 to app). (Oathar takes one.)

There are a set of hand mirrors. 1st power: Illusion I 3/day. Testing with clothing to see what it would look like. 2nd power: Light I 3/day.

Alynna, fleeing from Oathar, goes back to the ship to investigate further. Most eveything is gone, but she finds a naval dress uniform, but it's in the style of Kieron. Kind of Navy Dress Whites meets Saturday Night Fever. they're magical. powers: +10 leadership, allows the wearer to lead crew in singing, teaches the wearer a number of sea shantys and other songs.

Inside there's a smaller chest, with a book in it. The Books of Spankings... One of Kieron's more obscure works. Imre and Oathar back slowly away. Kyrik analyzes it and says that its 400 years old, and it's a +15 paddle, +10 to seduction.

Oathar wanders off to find Alynna.

The second chest has a bunch of silk inside. There are multiple bolts of colored silk. 1st power (will give a +10 Appearance to garments made from it; +10 to seduction rolls too.)

Oathar and Alynna start getting together in the corner, and Imre wades in casting forget on everyone.

Imre casts Guilt on Oathar and Oathar spends the night going back and forth between his tent and Alynna's but never quite going in.

We get back to the port and we pay the ship owners with cash. Oathar gives them a thousand gold and we keep all the treasure and get Kyrik's slavery contract back.

Next time, Folenn!
