King Xeros of Old Azlant
News of a strange exotic ship suddenly appearing in the docks of Absalom reached the Grand Lodge and a team of veteran pathfinders were sent to investigate it.
The party of 5 that were sent in was Mckurson Dovan (Male Cheliaxian Infernal Sorcerer), Richard Dragonsbane (Male Silver Crusader Evil Slaying Fighter), Nasheera (Female Qadiran Deadly Sexy Dervish Dancer Bard), Alanna (Female Deaf Fire Oracle) and Mikono (Female Tian Samurai with an Axbeak Mount).
Upon arriving, they found that the guards of Absalom were under attack by the ship's automated defences. Being the big damn heroes they were, all of them went to engage the defences head on to cover the surviving gurads' escape route. Metal chunks were sliced while turrets burned the party as the battle raged. Suddenly, the 2 golems focused their attacks on Mikono as repeated slams crushed her to death! But Mikono's death was not in vain as her sacarifice allowed Richard and Nasheera to flank and take out the golems to end the 1st encounter. Alanna then used a Breath of Life spell to revive Mikono.
The party patched themselves up and found a strange magic passage that led inside the ship. Some struggled to enter through the magical gate while others could easily pass through for some odd reason... turns out the passage was haunted by a hideous ghost which attacked whoever could enter it! Nasheera took the blunt of the ghost's attacks but managed to survive and retreat for Richard to come in and deal with it via his mighty martial strength and powerful evil slaying sword. Mckurson then kill steals with 3 Balls of Lightning to fry the ghost after it suffered a devasting blow from Richard!
They pressed on, coming to a hallway where strange vines seemly partially incorporal covered the place. As they gathered in the center of the room, suddenly 8 Xill emerged from their ethreal form and ambushed the party! Alanna in her panicked state flung a Fireball spell that blew up on everyone (inculding her allies) in hopes of taking out the Xill but only could kill off 2 as the party reeled from the sudden fire damage! The remaining Xill then focused their attacks on poor badly (fried and) injured Mikono as she was sliced many times like hot knife through butter in a flurry of blades which killed her the 2nd time! Furious with their ally's death, the party quickly returned the favor to the remaining Xill. Thankfully, Alanna had 1 more Breath of Life spell to revive Mikono again as she apologized for the 'friendly fire'!
They then came upon a strange cube puzzle which needed to be sloved before further exploration could be made. The party tried in vain to uncover the riddle of the cube when misfortune struck Mikono again! A DISINTEGRATE spell hit the poor Samurai almost causing enough damage to leave NOTHING of her! But it would not be Mikono's time to go as she barely survived turning into ashes!
Eventually, Nasheera found the solution to the puzzle as it released a hag that was imprisoned within it. The hag was hostile for she thought that the party had come to 'harvest' her but Dovan's professional smooth talking calmed her down, stating that they came to rescue people and kill Xills. Relieved, the hag told what she knew deeper within the ship and wish us the best (in killing more Xills) as she soon disappeared off...
The party followed the hag's directions, heading down deeper into the creepy ship and eventually found the root of the Xill infestation. The Xill had a colossal creeper plant that fed upon captives taken prisoners to use as fuel to power the ship! It was time to end the Xill's operations as the party engaged & more Xill ambushed Richard, Nasheera and Mikono while Dovan summoned monster reinforcements and Alanna burnd away at the Xill. Unfortunately, Mikono became victim to misfortune again as one of the Xill's strike managed to paralyze her! Worse still, a Xill then grabbed the helpless Samurai and started to plane shift away with her! The remaining party members did all they could to rescue Mikono and fortunately a Dinosaur conjured by Dovan managed to land a hit on the planeshifting Xill to stun it and buy enough time for Nasheera to chop it down! Alanna then created a firewall to fry off the remaining Xill but very unfortunately killed Mikono's axe beak mount in a reckless placement! (KFC anyone?) Karma then bit back at Alanna as the Xill Cleric that was controling the creeper plant sent grasping tentacle vines that grabbed hold of the hot oracle and sent her into the maw of thehentai plant! Held in bondage and trapped within a pod, Alanna panicked and immediately unleashed her power to transform into a huge fire elemental! The damage from the burning caused by Alanna's fire form unexpectedly caused enough damage to kill the weak Xill cleric and unfortunately also the still living (unconscious) captives within the plant!
With the death of the Xill cleric, the ship started to prepare for a planar jump as the party carried Mikono out to safety and Dovan casted haste to everyone so that their escape was ensured. The party could not save the poor captives, but have at least learned a great deal about the ship with their lives intact! Mikono was most thankful from being saved from a fate worse than death as Richard Dragonsbane remarked that Alanna was one dangerous reckless woman who needed to watch her actions more carefully to avoid manslaughter in the future. The ship soon disappeared into another plane/dimension as the party headed back to the Grand Lodge not completely satisfied for failing to save the captives but relieved to have survived the unexpectedly deadly encounter.
