18 Ches 1491
Crypto The Bandit spent the night on the mast - he is still trying to persuade the captain to let him go. The captain Silgre Ghostfoot turns to the group, asks who would speak on his behalf, and lets him go. Seven silences Cecil and no one speaks up. Quintuss Nei and Mör Rudaerrun go off to eat in the common area and Seven follows to eat as well but sits separately. Seven is on deck talking to Crypto The Bandit.
Luna strikes a deal with Crypto The Bandit and attempts to free him but realizes she has no weapons. Luna runs to grab Cecil from the common area in hopes to free Crypto The Bandit together. Cecil advises to find Gurig and have him take Crypto The Bandit down from the mast - she finds him and asks, but he ignores her.
Crypto The Bandit manages to get free by striking a deal with a man named Keyel. By holding his Pearl for him and stowing it away, he will then be free Crypto The Bandit. Crypto The Bandit hides the Pearl in the cooks food storage.
Meanwhile, a distant ship is spotted by the ship’s crew. The crew boards the ship to check it out and see if anyone needs assistance. Both crewmembers do not return. The group decides to go after the crew, but Cecil hesitates but is convinced to join.
We board the ship, and Quintuss Nei tries to break down the door, and as they bust into the door, he falls down the stairs. Crypto The Bandit follows and opens the door at the end of the hallway to see one of the crewmates fighting off a spider-like creature known as the intellect devourers.
Seven gets covered in brains and goo from the fight. She is certainly not happy.
She transformed into a wolf during the battle.
Quintuss Nei is attacked by an intellect devourer, which successfully sticks itself to his head, making him a zombie. After Crypto The Bandit kills it and removes it from Quintuss Nei, Quin is still in a zombie state. Luna attempts to heal him but with no success.
The group begins to look for ways to return Quintuss Nei to normal.
Mör Rudaerrun slaps Quintuss Nei in attempt wake him. The group decides to split up and explore the ship to find a solution of sorts to help heal Quin and take in out of his state. Everyone goes to open doors to search each room.
Cecil opens one of the doors and comes across an Arcane Scroll. While he cannot read it, he decides to hold onto it so that he may decipher it later.
Mör Rudaerrun goes into another room and finds a chest inside. She opens it and comes across 150 Gold Pieces and a small bag.
The group walks off the ship and back onto The Coutle. Silgre Ghostfoot asks where is her other crewman, and Mör Rudaerrun gives the bad news that he fell during the battle. Silgre Ghostfoot sends her crew to retrieve the body for a proper burial.
Bartholomew finally got over his seasickness, and the crew vented their frustration at him occupying the bathroom for days. Bartholomew finally joins the crew, but they return to their chambers as they are exhausted from battle. Mör Rudaerrun takes Quintuss Nei to their room to do their best to nurse him back to health. Seven goes below for a pint. Bartholomew and Luna join her and strikes up conversation. Bartholomew asks Seven if they have met before, as they look familiar. Seven tries their best to change the subject and downs the pint but gets drunk. They ask Lint for cheese and bread and a pot of hot water to take a bath. They say they can use the common area, and Seven declines, saying it is dirty and not to their standard of cleaning - they insult Lint‘s kitchen maintenance in the process, which results in no bath.
Meanwhile, Mör Rudaerrun seeks out Dimble Puffnook to see if they know anything about the mind devourers. Dimble Puffnook doesn’t know much and gifts them some salt to help them out. Mör Rudaerrun leaves as it was not helpful at all and seeks out Cecil. They talk and can’t figure out what to do, and Cecil says he is working on deciphering the arcane language, and Mör Rudaerrun mentions that they can ask Dimble Puffnook to look at it. They both take the scroll to Dimble Puffnook to translate, and they spend the night looking it over and finally successfully translate it. Furthermore, they uncover a spell of greater restoration. They use the scroll on Quintuss Nei, and the scroll disappears, and Quin regains conscience.
Seven sobers up and runs off to clean the bathroom and won’t leave until it sparkles.
Quintuss Nei and Mör Rudaerrun watch the fairy runoff, and they decide they want to get snacks from the kitchen. They come across Bartholomew and Luna, and they all re-introduce themselves. Mör Rudaerrun asks Lint if they have a cake or cookies. Lint doesn’t have sweets, but they give them a plate of cheeses. Mör Rudaerrun then go to Cecil‘s room with the cheese and 25 gold as a gift and thank you for their help, but sorry, the scroll is used up.
Mör Rudaerrun also gives Bartholomew some herbs for his seasickness. She also gives Luna basil.
Seven finally gets the bathroom clean enough to pass the white glove test, and just before she can take a nice bath, - Lint runs up and screams how he needs the bathroom and closes the door. Seven walks away in utter defeat, gets herself a pint, and receives a mint from Mör Rudaerrun.
