| =Scene 9: Village of the Mindless=
| |
| Town name - unknown<br>
| |
| Party lands on [[Levena]], moon of Avlis<br>
| |
| Most buildings are empty, sometimes a catatonic person is found in a building, constantly bumping into a wall or banging head on table<br>
| |
| Tavern - The Space Pony - find a little girl in a daze, talks about “The Great Builder”, calls him a “mind bender”.<br>
| |
| Has no idea where everyone went.<br>
| |
| She thinks “Great Builder” lives west.<br>
| |
| Doesn’t seem to be much help beyond that.<br>
| |
| Party ventures out of village to west, comes to a graveyard with mausoleum<br>
| |
| Find a secret passage at the back wall where there is a shrine to [[Saint Mariam]] that has a door opening up to a stairway down<br>
| |
| Find a vampire down there, symbol of [[Saint Mariam]] on his coffin<br>
| |

| |
|
| |
| =Scene 10: Vampire on Board=
| |
| Party decides it was a vampire, not a mind flayer that destroyed the village<br>
| |
| Head back to ship to go tell the githzerai<br>
| |
| Crew members start disappearing after a few days<br>
| |
| Lathalsa (half-sylph) shows signs of becoming a thrall<br>
| |
| Party stations the orc slave with her to stop vampire from coming in while he’s coming in, but it doesn’t seem to work<br>
| |
| Party studies the dying body of Lathalsa, finds a holy symbol of [[Saint Mariam]] around her neck<br>
| |
| Vampire appears, tells them Lathalsa looks just like [[Saint Mariam]] <br>
| |
| Vampire claims he was [[Saint Mariam]] lover, and he witnessed her ascension to godhood<br>
| |
| His protests and anguish over Mariam's pain made him curse at The Supreme, who he supposes changed him into a vampire<br>
| |
| He was unable to bear staying with [[Saint Mariam]] any longer, too painful. She left for somewhere unknown.<br>
| |
| She gave him a censor and told him it was one of three keys he could use to find her again one day<br>
| |
| Vamp tells the party that a mind flayer is indeed killing everyone in that village<br>
| |
| Vampire kills Lathalsa and leaves<br>
| |
| Party cuts Lathalsa's head off to try to prevent her from rising<br>
| |
| Vampire gets angry, fights party<br>
| |
| Charms Conor and Thundershaft, bites them both, drains Conor until death<br>
| |
| Party "vaporizes" vamp but he comes back an hour later and tells them to retrieve the head of Lathalsa and put it back on<br>
| |
| Party complies and takes vamp and bodies of Lathalsa and Conor to githyanki asteroid, let's them go<br>
| |
| Dock official who gave party mission to scout the mind flayer on [[Levena]] berates them, tells them to try again<br>

| |
| =Scene 11: If at first you don't succeed...=
| |
|
| |
| The party took some downtime on the githzerai asteroid to resupply and rest<br>
| |
| Met a githzerai wizard named Nirk who was assigned to them by the githzerai as a guide to do reconnaissance on the suspected mind flayer on Levena<br>
| |
| In the tavern where they met Nirk, they ran into a paladin of St. Mariam named Sir Worthur<br>
| |
| Worthur told them that he is part of the Order of the Panfish sent to capture or kill Leticia and Alhana as heretics for their beliefs in Literalism<br>
| |
| Worthur was secretly sympathetic to them due to his adventures in space. He believes Mariam may have physically ascended and that it may not be just a metaphor. He warns the group that a group of paladins of the Order of the Panfish are on the asteroid ready to grab them.<br>
| |
| Says there is a war going on back on Avlis between the Literalists and the orthodox church. The Order of the Panfish is running an Inquisition against heretics/Literalists. <br>
| |
| He walks out of the bar. Afterward, the PC's decide they need more crew and Nirk tells them to post an ad in the Town Hall.<br>
| |
| On the way to the Town Hall they get jumped by the paladins. Leticia's spell kills several and the others, including Sir Worthur flee.<br>
| |
| After posting the ad, they relax and recoup some more. Days later, 10 githzerai show up. 9 decide to join the crew within a couple days.<br>
| |
| Crew takes off for Levena, and almost instantly gets jumped by a paladin ship.<br>
| |
| Space battle ensues. Shots traded. The party uses Greek Fire to catch the paladin ship aflame and mows down most of the crew with the arquebi.<br>
| |
| They board the ship, almost completely empty now and find the mage who was driving, a member of the White Order of the Light.<br>
| |
| They complete their journey to Levena and find a crator with construction taking place, seemingly by thralls from the town they last left.<br>
| |
|
| |
| =Scene 12: The Big Dig=
| |
|
| |
| Upon closer inspection of the crator, the group found that it was being excavated by thralls which were people from the village.<br>
| |
| Nirk said it was the work of a potentially powerful mindflayer and the signs pointed to them attempting to establish a breeding base.<br>
| |
| After waking up several of the thrawls and gathering more evidence, the group returned to the ship and took off to bring the news back to the Githzerai.<br>
| |
| When they were close to port, another ship of Paladins jumped the group in a Galleon. This time the group decided to fight them ship to ship and take their Galleon for their own.<br>
| |
| After a successful battle, the group found evidence that the Order of the Panfish is aware of the Three Keys of Faith which supposedly open a gate to St. Mariam.<br>
| |
| The group already possesses the Censor of Purity, and a new clue was found on the ship: The Lantern of Truth lies within a dungeon below the Monastery of Faith on the Githzerai asteroid....<br>
