“You place both hands on the wheel of the Starblazer, and the ship begins to hum with energy. Objects on deck begin to move of their own as a phantom crew prepares the vessel for launch -- ropes are coiled, rigging is raised, and sails are lowered. A smoky mist seeps from the nostrils of the dragon head on the prow of the ship and its eyes glow a dull red. With a creaking groan, the prow bends and turns toward you until the dragon can you see from the corner of its eye. “Repeating my previous journey, good masters!”
The hum within the Starblazer grows in intensity, and suddenly the ship lifts several inches into the air. The wood on the ship groans and creaks as it shifts to accommodate the new weight dispersal. The last few animated objects on board finish their preparation. ”Blue Peter! Blue Peter!” the dragon-prow roars. The ship rises into the air. It enters a small hidden tunnel and winds through several twists and turns. It passes through an opening in the ceiling of the chamber and continues to rise. Your party is afforded an excellent view of Farpoint Island and the surrounding seas. Higher and higher it climbs. Confused seagulls squawk and wheel around you. On the seas you spot the Shrieking Eel, which continues to shrink as you climb. Upward and upward, hundreds and hundreds of feet in the sky, until you feel the air begin to thin and grow cold.
The dragon-prow rumbles. ”Activating environmental control, good masters.” There is a momentary glimmer as a bubble of energy is activated around the ship. Suddenly the air is thick and temperate again. Higher and higher it climbs, until even the island is but a speck below you. On the horizon you can see a strip of green that must be the Elennian Peninsula.
You part through the clouds… and into space. The glittering jewels of the stars are spread before you like fireflies on a summer’s night. Beneath you is the awesome presence of the Wold. You can see all of the Elennian Peninsula, and most of the continent of Yrth straddling the northern hemisphere. You realize with a start that everything is silent. The whistling of air is gone, and besides the hum of the ship and the rustling movements of your comrades, there is not a sound. You continue to rise, the Wold beneath you and the stars above.

There is no way she would want to fall overboard right about now.
"Excuse me, Starblazer, but what does Blue Peter mean?"

Garret looks around in amazement at the motions of the ship. He scrambles over to watch the ropes move of their own volition and when one stops, he moves to another to watch it. When the ship starts to move, he runs over to the side to watch. As they pass the seagulls, he calls out to them in a language they can understand, "Don't worry, feathered friends, we're just passing through!"
As the ship continues to rise, Garret leans over the sides of the ship and watches the ground move away. He looks around the continents and thinks of all the places he has been. Then he looks up, into space, and says, "This really does not look like a good idea at all."

With the quiet comes the realization that Restlin is flat exhausted. He's tougher than he appears, but it has been a busy, somewhat emotionally taxing day. He was still sore about the Monstrologer. He had a hunch that one was going to stay with him.
Still, few people ever get a view like this. "Bosk," he asks. "Got anything on tap?" He turns to Sesha. "Or maybe Pot Pot has some of that fizzy stuff available? Either way this view demands a good drink."
Has anyone inspected the cargo those idiots put on board? Even if they have, Restlin wants to give it a good once over himself. Maybe he'll get lucky and spot something they missed.

Lucky Find: While on a Luck Quest, items tend to just fall into the character's hands. The character gains a bonus to search rolls equal to her mendicant level (this does not stack with the Jack O'Trades bonus). Even if the DM has not planned for an item to be found, there is a chance of finding something anyway. The DM secretly rolls a d12, unmodified by luck points. On a 1, nothing is found. On a 2-5, something non-magical and not obviously useful is found. On a 6-9, something non-magical and useful is found. On a 10 or 11, something magical but not obviously useful is found. On a 12, something useful and magical is found. The DM chooses what is found, and may be inspired by the table on page 113 of the 3.0 DMG, or on page 66 of the 3.5 DMG. This ability can be used only once per encounter.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday May 16th, 2017 1:43:14 PM
Zane will carry on with a few questions to the ship as they ascend. "Can you be piloted manually? How hard is it to learn to pilot the ship? Please teach me." One question obviously follows the other, so if the first is a no, the next doesn't get asked and so on.
If Zane can learn, he'll spend the travel time learning, if he can't, he'll sleep, but sleep on the rear deck of the ship.

Wyaar also finds it prudent not to fall off the ship.. but he is a nimble one and stays close to the edge to peer over at the disappearing Wold below with a fierce grin on his face. He even climbs the mast for a better view. "Incredible... Simply incredible.." he says before turning his eyes off of the sight below to the sights (or lack of sights) above.

Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday May 16th, 2017 8:26:16 PM
Sesha shakes her head.
"I need something else to turn into the pink fizzy stuff, ala prestidigitation. This is a crazy day, dear Mage Priest."
Curious, she taps the mast of the ship with her boot.
"Hey Starblazer. Is it possible for us to fall off of you? Or does your environmental protections keep us in as well as the inky black out?"
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Tuesday May 16th, 2017 9:57:59 PM
Beri stretches out on the deck and closes his eyes, letting the sun beat down on his sore muscles. Don't worry Restlin, tomorrow I'll prepare a create water spell,we'll have more than enough for to transform into pink fizzy stuff.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Tuesday May 16th, 2017 11:14:07 PM
"Didn't we find a whole endless decanter of water?" he asks. "And one of those mush spoons?"
DM Tanner Tuesday May 16th, 2017 11:44:00 PM
The dragon-prow turns to look at Tink. "The Blue Peter was originally a blue maritime signal flag meaning "P" or "outward bound", flown to warn a ship's crew in port of an imminent sailing." It turns to Zane. "I cannot be flown manually, good master. Holding the wheel only gives a master superiority in issuing commands." It turns to Sesha. "Oh, yes, good master. You can fall to your certain doom quite easily, should you go overboard."
You feel a small itch in your mind. Not a physical itch, but an intrusive thought that is decidedly foreign. ”Is this thing on? Testing. 1, 2, check, check.” You sense the voice of Gimp the Imp in your mind. ”Hey there. The Big Guy is still trying to figure out what is going on. In the meantime, we have some intel that might interest you. Just a second.” You suddenly feel a gentle pulling sensation, drawing you up and left and forward slightly. ”There. We got a ping on the location of Vivian Taurbane’s phylactery. You know what to do.” Despite being purely mental communication, you can still ‘hear’ a smirk at the end. You feel the intrusion leave your mind, but the pulling sensation remains.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Wednesday May 17th, 2017 12:05:50 AM
Sesha couldn't help but wonder just what kind of mystery or veil would be necessary to hide something from arguably the most powerful deity in the Woldian Pantheons.
"What does it take to directly obscure a gods ability to perceive something happening in his domain? And furthermore, how the heck would someone would hide something from said god when he was actively searching for it?"
Her eyes instinctively settled on Bosk and Restlin, the resident emissaries of still existing gods among them.

The one from Gimp? Phew! I thought it was just me for a second there. That end bit was a bit strange though. Make sure Restlin gives you all 5gp?" Tink keeps a straight face for a few seconds before grinning.
She stays as near to the center of the ship as she can as she ponders Sesha’s question "Hmmm... is Gargul's domain limited to the Wold? Is Jericho space outside his view? If we were to die out here, would our souls find their way to his realm, or would they be lost in the void? It does raise another few questions, Sesha. Are there leylines in Jericho space? Does Woldsblood exist away from the Wold? You might want to try casting a cantrip now to double check"

At the mention of the spoon, Garret pulls the spoon from his belt where he has made a small strap to hold it in place and where he can easily reach it. He proudly shows it to Restlin and smiles.
When the pull appears on their minds, he tries to tell if they are moving in the direction of the pull, or if there is some chance the pull is back towards the Wold.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday May 17th, 2017 11:24:31 AM
With the pull, Zane uses his training in sailing, even though this is a little bit different, to judge their course and if it comes close to matching or not. No matter if it is close or not, he'll tell the others his feelings about it. Then adds, "I think we should travel completely to the former location before we head after the phylactery. We may have stuff to do at both locations and if we adjust our course we may never find it, unless we can put it in memory while traveling. Our goal is defeat this whole movement, not just the Lich."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Wednesday May 17th, 2017 11:57:55 AM
"If magic didn't work up here," begins Restlin in answer to Tink's question, "pretty sure our new boat wouldn't be working."
He tries to get a grasp on the location Gimp gave them. Is it the same place they're going? Does he feel like he can adequately explain to their ship where to go?
Restlin catches Sesha looking his way. "Don't blame you, love. I'd check me out too." He looks around for somewhere comfortable to sit and wait above deck. If he has to pull a comfy chair up from below deck, he will. He'll grab one for Sesha while he's at it. "It's a shame I can't just cast my mansion spell on this boat. The entrance would just get left behind, then we'd be in trouble."
Wyaar ( what's that link code again..) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40, HP 153/153, DR 5/Evil Wednesday May 17th, 2017 2:41:02 PM
"That was.. different." Wyaar says after that message from Gimp and looks about to the others as they too confirm they heard it. He gives an agreeing nod towards Zane, "That would make the most sense.. Head to the start first and then to the Lich."
A glance over the side has him idly wondering, "If we fell from here would we fall down to the Wold below?"
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Wednesday May 17th, 2017 3:22:45 PM
Sesha suddenly looks concerned.
"Restlin. She means MY magic, which completely derived from drawing magic from Ley Lines of Woldsblood."
Sesha attempts both a cantrip, and bending a leyline.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Wednesday May 17th, 2017 5:21:39 PM
"Just because I don't tap into the Woldsblood and ley lines directly doesn't mean they aren't important to my magic, dear. You were able to use magic when we fight Corrine, right?"
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Wednesday May 17th, 2017 9:46:38 PM Unfortunately, Tink, I know first hand that Gargul can retrieve a soul in Jercho Space... let me rephrase that, it was very fortunate that he could! It just wasn't the best way to find out. Beri shudders slightly at the memory of what happened to him, and the fear he had of being trapped for all eternity outside the reach of Gargul.
DM Tanner Wednesday May 17th, 2017 11:57:56 PM
The disembodied voice of Gimp speaks up again. "Uhh... are you sure you wanna do that, guys? That Vivian broad might get her body back if you don't take care of it right aways."
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday May 18th, 2017 12:17:22 AM
Bosk ponders the question of what could block Gargul from sensing them. I hate to say it, but the most likely thing impeding Gargul is Gargul. If Vivian was telling the truth then there might be an aspect of his previous nature coming forth...though I have no idea how that would manifest itself.
As far as where to go, Gimp is correct. We have to go to the phylactery now. Vivian could come back in as little as a day. If she regains her power I would not expect a second combat to go as easily as this one.
The other option is to see if there is a way we can split the group and rejoin...but given our location and the circumstances I would prefer we stick together.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday May 18th, 2017 12:43:12 AM
Zane turns to the ship.... "Can you put our current destination into your memory, we need to make a detour to another location, but want to be able to still reach wherever it is we are now headed.. Is that possible?" If the ship says yes, Zane will direct it store the destination, and then direct it to the place where Gimp's feeling leads. If the ship say it can't, He looks at his friends, shrugs then says to the ship, "We're changing directions anyways." And then gives the ship the directions....
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 26 -- HP 185 -- Spells -- Active Effects Thursday May 18th, 2017 6:17:12 AM
Tink continues to stay near the center of the ship. If there is a below deck, then that's where she heads. She's pretty worried about falling overboard right about now.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 167/167 Ki:20/20 CMD: 37 SR: 27] Thursday May 18th, 2017 9:09:20 AM
Garret looks for a ship's compass, hoping that this ship will have a special one that will show them up and down, too. As the ship changes course he says, "So does that mean we were not headed towards the lich's home just now? I'm confused."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Thursday May 18th, 2017 9:46:47 AM
Restlin looks sideways at Bosk. "I wouldn't call that last fight easy, buddy." Anyways, he's glad they're going after the phylactery anyway.
Does Restlin have any idea how far away this is and how long it will take to get there? Will he have time to rest and prepare spells again?
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40, HP 153/153, DR 5/Evil Thursday May 18th, 2017 3:00:17 PM
"Ah.. I had not realized it was so pressing. Yes.. let us go for the phylactery first and then visit the origin of this ship another time." Wyaar says with a nod.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Thursday May 18th, 2017 9:26:25 PM Well, hopefully we pummeled her sufficiently that it we have enough time to destroy the phylactery before she revives. If not, I can't imagine that she will be stronger than the last time, though I wouldn't be surprised if we are walking into a giant deathrap to reach it. We need to plan our spells accordingly.
Vivian would have delivered the phylactery to it's hiding place herself, then returned somehow. Starblazer, is the new heading one of the destinations you've been to before? How far away is it, and what kind of terrain can we expect?
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday May 18th, 2017 11:07:45 PM Keep in mind we do not know where the ship came from or where the phylactery is. For all we know the ship's current destination was only put in to clear the ships memory of the previous destination. As for the phylactery, it could be in Vivan's home, on an Asteroid, or a Teucri home world. It could even be a place populated by the females of their species.
DM Tanner Thursday May 18th, 2017 11:52:33 PM "Of course, good master. We will simply return to the previous destination in a circuitous fashion."
The Starblazer responds to your change in direction, and matches course toward the pulling sensation. It is difficult to tell you are even moving, since the panorama of the Wold changes little and you feel nothing in the way of inertia. However, after perhaps an hour, the dragon-prow speaks. ”A sighting, good masters! Starboard bow, nearly level with us, perhaps 30 miles off. I thought it was a star for a time, but it is definitely moving.” You peer to the right and see the dragon-prow is correct. One of the stars is moving. It almost looks like a comet, but it is not moving fast enough and is not crashing into the planet below.
You continue moving toward the comet and feel the pulling sensation grow stronger with each hour. It is definitely your destination. The dragon-prow barks out updates as you approach -- 25 miles, 20 miles, 15, 10, 5… ”Caution, good masters! Caution!” the dragon-prow shouts. ”That be no comet!”
Squinting your eyes and peering toward the comet, you see that it is not moving in a straight line. Its course undulates up and down. The body of the comet appears to flex and move as well, moving up and down, up and down. Almost like it is swimming…

The pulling sensation is enough to draw Tink out from below deck and onto the surface. "If that's Korrine..." Tink doesn't finish the sentence. She doesn't want to jinx things.
She tries to determine what the "comet" might actually be. Her first thought is "space whale".
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 d3=2 ; Friday May 19th, 2017 9:52:49 AM
Restlin summons two small air elementals. In auran, he asks them to go see what that thing is and report back.
"If that's Korrine, we're probably in real big trouble. Hey ship, do you have any defensive countermeasures? Hidden cannons, force shields? Anything like that?"

Garret moves up to the front of the ship and also peers at the "comet" to try and figure out what it is (perception: 33).

Zane, "Better get your ranged stuff ready everybody, Starblazer, can you match courses with whatever that is and close slowly to our extreme range. We can then deal with whatever it is. Do you have an id for it?" Zane pulls out a massive bow, it looks like it's even to much of a pull for his massive strength, then you realize he's planning on enlarging and then using the bow......

FRIDAY POST
You can see it clearly now. It is no comet.
It is a whale. Made of fire. In space.
Knowledge (arcane) DC 35 Highlight to display spoiler: {This creature is an Oma, a species of space-faring whales. They resemble sperm whales with minor changes in phenotype. This one appears to be an enormous specimen. They are not typically on fire.}
Knowledge (arcane) DC 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {This creature possesses the fire subtype.}
The creature is indeed a whale, but far larger than any terrestrial whale. It is perhaps 400 feet in length, and resembles a sperm whale covered in numerous rocky growths. It is also actively on fire. Its body moves with fluid grace as its flippers and tail propel it through the void.
When you get within two miles or so, it suddenly snaps its tail and wheels about in a wide arc, coming to a stop facing the direction of the ship. It appears wary.
The dragon-prow displays undaunted optimism. "Our environmental controls only affect temperature and atmosphere, good master. Physical objects are not abated whatsoever."
Restlin walks to the prow of the ship. "Friends, this is an oma. It's not intelligent, and if it decides we're a threat, it will be one heck of a fight." He turns to Beri. "Well, it's about as intelligent as any other animal. Maybe you can do something to make sure it knows we're not here to hunt it? It would be a shame to kill something this magnificent."

"It is magnificent" Wyaar says with a smile as he look out at the giant fiery whale. "Let us give it a wide berth.. I am with Restlin and do not want to have to harm that creature."

Garret says, "I think I could talk to it so it could understand me, but I think if we get close enough for it to hear me, it will be too late. Unless someone has a way of projecting my voice to it, I think we should turn the ship away and run."
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Monday May 22nd, 2017 11:03:40 AM
Sesha frowns.
"Surely.. the phylactery.. isn't inside the Space Whale? Want me to try and charm it?"
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Monday May 22nd, 2017 2:03:40 PM
Question, has the feeling changed direction as the whale got closer?
"Starblazer, redirect your Bow away from that ... Creature. We will see if it looks like we are seeming to be submissive if it will ignore us. By not confronting it, we may be able to get it to let us pass." Of course that changes if the feeling directs at the whale.
Beriothian -- AC:34/18/32 HP: 291/219 CMD = 23 d20+18=36 ; Monday May 22nd, 2017 9:42:04 PM Hmm, and Oma. I don't know much about those. But if it's as smart as a regular animal I can use Wild Empathy with it. Many behaviors are universal in nature, threatening and peaceful gestures are such for a reason. Stareblazer, do as Zane suggested please. But make sure we are still in view so I can commune with it for a minute and convey we are peaceful. The rest of you, sit down and keep a neutral face so it knows you are not taking a posture of aggression.
Beri stand on the ship facing the majestic whale, his head slightly bowed and his hands open and facing downward and away from the whale. He calls upon all his knowledge of the Wold's sea creatures and uses their behavior to convey the groups peaceful intentions to the whale.

DM Tanner Monday May 22nd, 2017 11:59:14 PM
You slowly turn the Starblazer away from a direct course with the oma. The 'pull' weakens. You turn back, and it strengthens.
The phylactery is quite plainly on, or in, the fiery space-whale.

Bosk continues waiting to see how long to the whale will reach him, and holds an action to cast Protection from energy against fire if the creature becomes hostile. Until that time he does nothing, remaining calm and peaceful and intentionally thinking calming and peaceful thoughts.

Garret looks over to the whale again and then back at the ship. He is trying to judge if the entire ship will fit inside the whale.

"This isn't completely unexpected. The journey through an Oma's digestive tract isn't necessarily fatal. Some folks use these things as giant space ships.
"Gotta say, though. Kudos to Vivian for hiding her phylactery with style. This is pretty boss." That said, he sits like Beri suggested.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday May 23rd, 2017 11:26:45 AM
Sesha frowns so hard it looks like her eyebrows might fall off.
"We are going to have to go inside that thing. If Vivian went inside of it long enough to hide her phylactery who knows what else she might have done to it? If you can survive in it's stomach, I wouldn't be surprised if he's holding a belly full of undead."
Either way, as a precaution, she casts Resist Energy: Fire, on herself.
(also, I dont imagine so, but were our spells and HP from level 17 in effect? We didn't really have a long rest after leveling)

To Starblazer and the rest of the party, "I think we'll need to circle around behind that thing and approach from the stern, it might not take us as attackers that way, most creatures only take threats from the front 2/3s of their area, at least until physical contact happens, and then all bets are off. So coming in from the rear, we should be able to get almost next to it, and get first shot at getting on/in before it responds. Maybe if someone can charm that thing, or hypnotize it or even put it to sleep, it'd be easier.
Oh Starblazer, you may not know if you've been here before, because of the memory wipes you are subject to, but do you have any figments of images in your memory that you've seen this creature before?"

Bosk smirks as he realizes what the change in pull means. How many times am I going to get eaten this life time. Dinosaurs, spiders, and now a whale. the cleric thinks to himself. Silently he waits to see what Beri can accomplish. It would be best if they can enter the creature on friendly terms. The cleric also prepares to cast resist energy acid on himself.
Beriothian -- AC:34/18/32 HP: 291/219 CMD = 23 Tuesday May 23rd, 2017 9:10:46 PM
Beri stares out at the massive beast and considers the phylactery It is unlikely that she just left it on his surface where it could be seen. Sesha is right, we are probably going to have to go inside.
Starblazer, you can restore damage it sounds like. Tell me, would you be able to safely be swallowed by a creature that size? And would your inner chambers provide us protection from any fire or digestive juices/

DM Tanner Tuesday May 23rd, 2017 11:57:39 PM "My environmental controls only extend a few feet past the structure of the ship, good master! Also, I have never seen this creature before today."
Those of you familiar with natural lore know that while a whale's mouth may be quite large, their throat is far smaller (point of reference, the blue whale cannot swallow anything larger than a grapefruit). A sperm whale, the closest natural equivalent to this oma, subsists primarily on soft-bodied squids which are sucked into the gullet by vacuum pressure via powerful esophageal muscles. Unless the party was crowded into a canoe, the oma cannot swallow you.
You continue forward cautiously. When you come within half a mile, the creature acts. It moves forward as well, propelling its enormous body with vigorous strokes of its tail. It is not moving at a cruising speed, but much faster, and aimed directly for the prow of the ship.
”Good masters!” The dragon-prow shouts. ”The creature appears intent to ram us. Change course or prepare for collision!”
You can feel the pulling sensation strengthen as the creature approaches. It has the phylactery.
ooc: The oma will reach you in five rounds.

When the great whale turns towards the ship, Garret moves forward and calls out in a strange language, "Wait, please, great flaming whale! We mean you no harm! Can we speak with you a moment?"
OOC: With tongue of the sun and moon, Garret should be able to "speak with any living creature."

Zane instantly yells, "10 points starboard, increase speed to 75 percent" (15 points = 90 degrees, that's where the 12-3 on a clock is 15 minutes came from historically) Zane is just trying to gain the group some time. He also casts resist energy (with the lesser extend rod) Cold.

Restlin looks onward, thinks for a bit, then hands Garret a crystal. "You're a good shot, buddy. Throw this in the oma's mouth when it gets close." He offers no other explanation before settling himself down in a deck chair & pulling his top hat over his eyes.

Ber mentally goes through his spells, but he can't think of much he can do at this distance so he looks over the massive creature for any signs of where the phylactery may be. Perhapse injuries from a previous fight, or something off about the mouth indicating it's inside the creature.

Bosk activates his dark walk ability and moves to a shadowy part of the ship (stealth check to hide) and casts protection from fire and acid himself in addition to casting fly, hid from undead (blink ring should already be activated.) He then waits in the shadows studying the whale.

The party makes preparations. Any words shouted to the fiery space-whale are ineffective. You all receive protection from the vacuum of space and the cold of the void.
ooc: That was the perfect spell for the situation, Sesha.
The oma barrels toward the ship at incredible speed (ooc: It actually has a base speed of 200ft, plus another 30ft with a template). Its profile becomes larger, until its nose is nearly the height of the main mast.
It will strike the ship in one round. "Brace yourselves, good masters! I cannot evade its trajectory!"

Garret grabs the crystal from Restlin and without thinking (for once), takes aim and attempts to throw the crystal into the whale's mouth. After his arm flies forward, he looks to see if the crystal went where he threw it. He doesn't see the crystal anywhere in sight. He looks and cocks his head. Then he looks down and sees the crystal on the ground next to him. He turns and smiles at Restlin as the whale continues to charge.
OOC: Yeah, that's a big ONE right there!

OOC: I actually laughed out loud. Of all the times to Nat1...
Restlin looks up as he fails to feel the focus go anywhere & sees the crystal at Garret's feet. He sighs. "One job, Garret. You had one job."
He quickly casts overland flight on himself while asking Shiny to make him stronger. He then grabs the halfling by the back of his robe and flies away from the ship.

Wyaar watches the whale approach with a frown, but moves to stand at the very front of the boat to face its coming head on as he makes some preparations... a spell on himself and then a call for Queen Maab to bless all of them in their endeavor.
He lifts his bow in front of him and it starts to glow with a soft white light as he eyes the huge creature coming towards them and as he closes the distance he greets it with a

"Yea, our casters really dropped the ball here, didn't they?" replies Restlin to Zane's passive aggression. His daily random spell selection didn't include a wall of force, unfortunately. Too bad, would have been a great idea.

Wyaar fires at the approaching space-whale. Hit, miss, miss, miss, hit. The creature's hide is thick, and the arrows only partially penetrate.
The creature draws nearer at alarming speed. Just before it hits you feel the heat of its flames. A towering bulwark of flesh rams the prow of your ship, and the Starblazer is rocked violently. Wooden beams scream and splinter.
Every member of the Iron Dragons standing on the deck is knocked prone by the force of the blow, but some are knocked right off the ship itself! Tink, Wyaar, and Zane are thrown 40 feet clear of the deck. The energy-field surrounding the ship shimmers as they pass through, and begin floating aimlessly in space!
ooc: Characters in space cannot move without supernatural flight, must begin holding their breath to avoid suffocation, and take 2d6 cold damage per round.
The dragon-prow roars. ”Man overboard! Shall I continue on course, or divert to save the stranded, good masters!?”

If either Wyaar or Zane are within reach, Tink reaches out to grab them or a piece of their clothing. She focuses on the surface of the deck of the ship and seeks to teleport there.
In space, noone would hear her cast a spell. Fortunately Dimensional Stepping is a silent activity.

Zane points Tink towards Wyaar, he's OK. If Wyaar is not in Tink's reach, Zane will fly over and grab him, bringing him to the deck. Either way, he flies to the deck. Using the ring, *Well, that was fun. Who needs a lift?*

Restlin takes another crystal out of his pocket, takes aim, and attempts to throw it in the oma's mouth.
***
Standard: throw crystal in oma's mouth. Rolled a 34 to hit. Seems like it should be ranged touch to me, but I'm aiming for a specific part, not just trying to hit it. I'll leave the results of this throw to you, Mr. DM, but I really need to know if the crystal actually goes in the oma's mouth.

Weeeeeeeeeeee! Wyaar is hurdled from the prow of the ship at the impact and gets to experience the joy that is weightlessness in space.. and thanks to Sesha doesn't die from the lack of pressure, oxygen and extreme temperature. He blinks a moment, but grins, waving his arms and legs about and considering sending more arrows towards the whale, but it presumably grabbed by one of his fellows and dragged back to the ship. He holds off on attacking for now and instead activates his winged boots as he is dragged.

Sesha looks down at those flying through space, and is suddenly glad she got off the deck of the ship. She had a feeling that might happen.
She tries what she knows, enchantment. Going through her spell focuses, she starts in the subtle, flowing language of compulsion magic, and ends easily enough with a gesture at the Oma.

FRIDAY'S POST
Tinks grabs Wyaar and takes him back to the deck. Zane flies back to the ship. Restlin throws a gemstone toward the open mouth of the whale and successfully lands it in its mouth! Sesha casts a spell, but it appears to have no effect. Beriothian uses the oma's own flames to cast sunburst! The cheeky fellow. (ooc1: You forgot your damage roll, so I rolled it) (ooc2: Where do you list your spells on your character sheet? I don't know what you have prepared or the saving throw DC) Bosk positions himself to be voluntarily swallowed, should the necromantic plan fail.
The oma wheels about in a slow curve and bears back toward the ship. The gemstone, a tiny speck of sand compared to the space-whale, lands in its mouth. A moment later, a brilliant burst of light erupts near the oma's snout. It reels in pain and confusion, screaming silently in the void of space. It continues barreling toward the ship, blinking its eyes futilely.
(ooc3: The whale is blinded.)
Oma - 83 damage

Having made it back to the ship, "Starblazer, start repairs on yourself. and at the same time try to get us behind that whale. I think it's blind, we should have a few moments to get there."
With the bow already in hand, he brings in up and lets loose with a flight of arrows.

He pulls Garret up next to him. "Garret, take care of my body." That said, Restlin casts magic jar, causing his body to go limp.

"My arrows are not lethal, it would be a shame to truly harm the magnificent creature" wyaar says with a nod but stops attacking just the same. Assuming someone tells him what rearlin saod over the link.

Tink Tells Wyaar he can look to someone else before readying to cast wall of force if the Oma goes to attack the ship again.
Zane fires his own volley of arrows and to the Taur's disbelief all are defeated by the Oma's thick hide. He also gives the command for starblazer to start repairing itself and try to swing around behind the Oma.
Restlin orders the others to stand down over the link and then tells Garret to take care of his body. He then casts magic jar, and the mage priest's soul flies into the gem in the Oma's mouth. He can sense the immense presence of the space whale and attempts to possess it but finds himself blocked. (OOC: Oma has spell resistance and rolled a 22 on your behalf = fail)
Sesha realizes the Oma is immune to her spells and makes a note to expand her repertoire. She hopes Restlin protected the gem from acid and then readies to heal any of her friends who took damage.
Bosk waits to see if the plan succeeded and then moves into the space whale's mouth. The gem is not lying in a pool of acid or anything but he protects it just the same.
Beri laments the blinding of the Oma but says it was the humane thing to do.
Wyaar explains his arrows were nonlethal and then stops attacking.
Starblazer says, "Initiating repair protocols, good masters."
The Oma noticing a creature in it's mouth attempts to bite down on whatever it is but in it's blinded condition ends up biting space (rolled 40 on concealment). The Oma barrels towards the starblazer on the last course it was on and Tink puts up her Wall of Force to defend Starblazer. The Oma's tail slams into the wall dealing 14 damage to wall after overcoming it's hardness. It also starts to heal some of the damage from the previous attacks.
Oma - 73 damage; blinded
Restlin - soul in gem; (OOC: I think you can try again if you didn't beat it's SR; It only says you can't try again if it made the fort save.)

Garret looks up at Restlin and says, "Take care of your what?" Suddenly his body goes limp and Garret has to move quickly to switch places with Restlin so that Garret is carrying him instead of him carrying Garret. Garret slaps his face a couple times and says, "Hey, you in there?" He looks around, and wonders what he should do next. He's not sure if the body has to stay near the whale, so he turns and heads back towards the ship with the Restlin-bag.

Restlin hits hard against the oma's magic resistance. Stuck in a chunk of quartz sitting in the oma's mouth, he has a moment of panic realizing just how alone he is right now.
Still, it's still pretty cool. He decides to try again.

( Magic Jar says: "Failure to take over the host leaves your life force in the magic jar, and the target automatically succeeds on further saving throws if you attempt to possess its body again.")
Sesha realized that in this moment, for once, she's not scrambling to keep people alive. She continues to fly just above the deck of the ship, holding that heal for whoever needs it next. Otherwise, this was kind of like whale watching. In space.

Bosk continues flying in the creature's mouth, careful not to touch its flesh in any way (at least until/unless Restlin takes control of the oma).
Hoping for a better look around, Bosk casts dark vision and checks for a path or indication of where the lich's phylactery is hidden. Not sure what you all are doing, but I will continue trying to look for the phylactery. Restlin, if your plan succeeds let me know...and I swear by Wardd's left eye, if you swallow me I will introduce you to hitherto unexplored realms of pain and indigestion.

Restlin tries to take over the Oma and he goes from having the life sense to detect to Oma to being blind and on fire in space.
Sesha realizes for once no one needs her healing so she enjoys whale watching in space.
Zane attempts to help starblazer get behind the Oma.
Wyaar enjoys whale watching in space with Sesha.
Beri tells starblazer to keep clear of its previous course and let the Oma pass.
Bosk feels the pull of the ping drawing him further inside the space whale. It would appear as if to get to the phylactery our Grim Avenger must enter its bowels.

Sesha tests the telepathic link with Restlin, curious if he talks in whale song.
"Well. I guess it's time for us to unload into the belly of the beast, literally."
She flies over to Bosk, and moves to enter the whales second, less harmful stomach.

...and just like that, Restlin was a space whale. He was blind, and no longer able to communicate via the ring.
That said, there's still a sense of wonder (and some slight annoyance at being blind) coming from the giant space whale. His magic jar spell still being active, he should be able to sense nearby life-forces. He turns towards them, sticks out his giant space whale tongue, and raspberries all the Iron Dragons.
He then opens wide, beckoning them to explore his innards.

Can Restlin feel anything inside him? Any things moving around inside? Any attempts to control his thoughts?
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday May 31st, 2017 11:08:11 AM
Zane returns his bow to his quiver and dismisses the enlarge spell. He will then use "fly" to travel to the Oma and see about fitting inside, He expects that Garret and Tink will be the only ones to fit in.

Wyaar narrows his eyes at the incoming space whale spit from the raspberry, but grins, "[b]Seems Restlin has control of it.." he says before leaping off the deck and letting his boots carrying him from the ship into the whale's open mouth to follow Sesha and Bosk up into the stomachs. In the stomach he activates his Detect Evil ability and starts sweeping his gaze about.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 26 -- HP 185 -- Spells -- Active Effects Wednesday May 31st, 2017 7:28:46 PM "Pity we can't make it nauseated and cough up whatever is inside..." Tink laments. She's pretty sure this space whale would be immune to such shenanigans.
"You know, there's more than one way to get inside. What say I take the front door, and for lack of a better phrase, you take the back door Garret?"
Beriothian -- AC:34/18/32 HP: 291/219 CMD = 23 Wednesday May 31st, 2017 10:32:43 PM
Beri spends a second round using Detect Magic and identifies the number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura. He will let the group know if there is anything suspicious. He is very curious whether Restlin's giant space whale's aura is any match the concentrated evil of the phylactery.

Bosk waist for the others to join him. Best be on our guard. Who knows what awaits us down here.
Stealth = 31 Perception = 38 (I did not add them yet, but can I assume we get our skill proximity bonus for being by Restlin?)
Coming to you live from inside the belly of the beast - [DM Hugh] Wednesday May 31st, 2017 11:53:27 PM Sesha tests the telepathic link to Restlin and then flies over to Bosk.
Tink maintains the force barrier while remarking about the current pleasantness.
Garret gently sets Restlin's lifeless body on the ship.
Restlin is annoyed at being blinded in the body of the space whale and blows raspberries at the other Dragons trying to get them to explore his mouth.
Wyaar notes that Restlin has control of the whale and then joins Sesha and Bosk.
Tink laments not being able to make the space whale cough up what is inside and then suggests Garret try to knock on the back door.
Beri uses detect magic to look for auras around, in and near Restlin-Oma.
Bosk waits for the others to join him and then stealthily moves around looking for the phylactery.
Restlin did not notice it at first because he was overwhelmed w/ becoming a space whale but there is a sharp ache coming from around one of his stomachs. He can also feel Wyaar, Bosk and Sesha moving around his mouth and down his throat.
Beri notices a more intense aura in the center of Oma-Restlin that coincides with the Ping that Gimp sent you.
Wyaar, Bosk, Sesha Highlight to display spoiler: {You notice that there are two sphincters in the whale stomach and the ping that Gimp sent you is pulling you towards one of the sphincters. You also realize that the stomach is fairly well lit due to the creature's fire type.}

Flying about inside a whales stomach is certainly something of a new experience.. but on looking to one of the sphincter's his eyes narrow and he points a hand towards it. "Some evil rest in there... it is faint, but it is there. Be ready."
He waits a moment for the others to acknowledge the warning and then he heads on in, bow at the ready

"Being a space whale is more painful than I would have imagined," says Restlin to absolutely nobody. He attempts to convey pain and nausea through the empathic link they share. Also impatience because hurry up and get in there already.
He tries to relax his space whale throat, letting his friends inside without having to be swallowed. Anyone who tries to enter from the back door finds one tightly closed sphincter. Magic jar or not, that's just not gonna happen.

Garret stays with Tink for the time being on the ship with Restlin's body. When the suggestion is made about entering the whale, he calls out to the others, "You find anything in there yet? Or near that end?"

Sesha considers the tactical advantage gained by a possible rear entry. She tries to comfort Restlin over the link.
"It's okay love. It will probably only hurt for the first couple moments. Don't make one of the Minotaur force their way in there."
(What's the STR DC to forcibly enter through the back end sphincter if Restlin resists? Could one squeeze through with a grease spell?)
Her curiosities aside, in this confined space of whale belly, she was actually safe for a second.
"Hang on, summoning someone to help. "
Sesha gently places Alice on the floor, then chants over the Ragdoll golem, summoning one of her allies.
After that, she and Alice roll through the more evil sphincter.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday June 1st, 2017 11:53:34 AM
Zane floats around in front of the Oma, He's heard all the seafarers stories and myths about being eaten by sea monsters, and it's just not gonna happen..... He'll stay ready to respond, but entering without desperate need, is just a no.
Coming to you live from inside the belly of the beast - [DM Hugh] Thursday June 1st, 2017 11:56:22 PM Tink stays aboard the Starblazer keeping an eye out. Aside from Flaming Whale-Restlin and their own ship the immediate Jericho Space surrounding them is empty.
Wyaar points out the evil sphincter and then draws his bow and moves forward after drawing his companions attentions towards it.
Restlin tries to convey pain and impatience through the empathic link. He also tries to relax his whale throat so his friends have an easier time of things.
Garret stays with Tink and calls out to the others asking if they have found anything yet.
(OOC: STR DC to force way passed clenched whale butt would be 31; Grease would allow to try an escape artist roll instead against same DC with a +10 circumstance bonus)
Sesha tries to reassure Restlin. She then decides its time to ask Alice the golem for help and then enters the evil sphincter ally in tow.
Zane remains floating in front of Space-Whale Restlin.
Bosk casts magic circle against evil and prepares to enter the sphincter.

Restlin tries to keep still to make everyone else's job easier...except for his rear end. He's not letting that relax.
He makes a mental note to refuse to budge until they restore the oma's sight, though. It's been in pain from Vivian's tampering for Wardd knows how long. It's not right to leave it blind up here in Jericho space where sound doesn't work anyway.

Bosk looks at the stone and mentally telecasts to the others via the rings what he sees. My best guess is that the stone itself is the phylactery, that the phylactery in in the stone, or that the stone contains a portal to the phylactery. If needed I have meld with stone prepared and one final shape stone scroll left. As he says this he ponders the fact that on his quest he has used more shape stone scrolls that he has in the past decade put together.

Restlin tries to make everyone else's job easier making a mental note to not leave without restoring the Oma's sight.
Garret stares in wonder at the space whale.
Zane continues hovering between Starblazer and the whale watching as the ship continues to repair itself as it maneuvers into position.
Wyaar sees the evil radiating from the stone and comes to the conclusion the whale is in no way evil. He bends down and removes its blindness with a prayer. Restlin can now see.
Bosk points out that either the stone is the phylactery, the phylactery is the stone or that the stone contains a portal to the phylactery.
Tink sends over the link that they are all clear and asks for a status report from those on the inside.
Sesha frowns about how easy things seem to be going and advises the others to be careful as she stands by to heal if needed.
Beri points out the elemental earth options he has at his disposal that could potentially help to Bosk.
Bosk asks if anyone has a way to see inside the stone in order to determine that the stone is not a golem.
The members of the party on the outside continue to see nothing beside Jericho space and the whale while those on the inside ponder what to do regarding the large block of stone.

Vision returns to Restlin, and a wave of relief flows through the empathic link. Able to see again, Restlin looks around for his friends, slowly moving so as not to disrupt those inside dealing with the phylactery. It still hurts, and he wishes they would get on with it and remove it.
He uses the empathic link to indicate pain; he wants to leave the oma in better shape than they found it, not just deal with Vivian and leave the creature to its fate.

Garret says over the link, "So what happens if we open the container? I mean, if the stone is the container for the Lich, if we stone shape it and the Lich is no longer inside it, then what? Does it appear and attack us? Will it try and take over one of our bodies? Or do we have to completely destroy the container, if the container is actually the stone block?"

Coming to you live from inside the belly of the beast - [DM Hugh] Monday June 5th, 2017 11:43:27 PM Restlin can see again. He moves around until he is facing the stargazer and sends pain over the empathic link.
Garret questions the others about the lich in the stone slab and what happens when they open it.
Sesha summons Alice and asks the Golem to pull on the stone.
Zane heads back to the ship and asks how the repairs are coming.
Wyaar knocks an arrow as Alice grabs the stone.
Beri asks stargaze about launching the stone slab into a star.
Alice attempts to pull on the stone but it does not budge from position. Nothing happens to the golem as she touches the stone.
Stargazer says to Zane, "The repairs are almost complete good master."
Stargazer says to Beri, "With what I am to launch this stone, good master? I do not have any catapults. Furthermore I am not sure the distance to the nearest star as I do not have that destination." programmed."
The stone remains embedded in the Oma's side chamber with some of the Iron Dragons on the ship and Restlin feeling the pain still as a space whale.

Not sure what else to do, Bosk begins retrieving a scroll. If no one else has a better idea, I am going to shape the stone to reveal what is inside. The thoughts that come to mind is that I have a glass grass dagger that I can incorporate into a box around it. We should be able to see through the glass to determine what is inside and then open it, if it is safe. The other option is to simply move the stone from around it and take our chances. Any thoughts?

Garret looks down at Restlin's lifeless body and wonders if the whale is in there. Just in case, he tries to make the body more comfortable.

Tink watches Garret move Restlin's body about. She's not entirely sure what's he's doing though. If he tries to put Restlin's hand in a glass of warm water she will stand by and watch.

Restlin can see his body being moved around, and will absolutely not stand by and watch if Garret, or anyone else, tries putting his hand in a glass of warm water.
Sesha [AC 35 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday June 6th, 2017 11:04:53 AM
Sesha shrugs.
"I suppose now we just try to break it? I don't know if there's anything inside a phylactery. What if this IS the phylactery? We also don't wan't her coming back now of all times, with no Garret, Tink, or Restlin. "

Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40, HP 170/153, DR 5/Evil Tuesday June 6th, 2017 4:14:56 PM
Wyaar frowns at the stone and gives a shrug over to Bosk, "Could you shape the stone enough just so that we can remove it from the whale? We can bring the whole thing to the ship with us and figure out what do to with it.. I do not want to do anything that may injure this creature"
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Tuesday June 6th, 2017 9:10:16 PM I like that idea. I might not be able to remove it all, but I will shape it so I can get as much out as I can. The cleric waits for other suggestions, but if he hears none he will reshape the stone, moving the embedded pats upward and outward (making a lip / ledge so the stone will not fall in the hole left by the moved portion of stone. All the while he is careful not to remove the stone too close to the spot where the aura is emanating from. (He also makes sure it is narrow enough to take it out the passages the group came in through.
Beriothian -- AC:34/18/32 HP: 291/219 CMD = 23 Tuesday June 6th, 2017 9:17:58 PM Guys, I just thought of something... the lich's body will be regenerating close by. Does anyone have a spell that would detect a partially regenerated body? Is that stone thing you are looking at big enough to also hold a body? Or should we be searching the Oma for where it's being regenerated?
Coming to you live from inside the belly of the beast - [DM Hugh] Tuesday June 6th, 2017 11:50:19 PM Bosk retrieves the scroll and suggests he either open the stone slab or use his glass dagger to see inside of it.
Garret looks at Restlin's lifeless body and wonders if the whale is in there trying to make it comfortable.
Tink watches Garret moving the body around and decides to sit idly by if the halfling puts the mage-priest's hand in warm water.
Restlin watches Garret too and decides he won't watch idly if Garret gets a glass of warm water.
Sesha shrugs and suggests they just break the the stone pointing out they don't know what the phylactery is or where it is.
Zane asks Starblazer a hypothetical involving moving at max speed towards the sun that lights the Wold, him throwing something from the deck, Starblazer turning and the direction and speed of the thrown object.
Wyaar suggests stone shaping it enough to remove it from the whale.
Bosk shapes the stone out of the whale making a lip to keep the stone from falling back from where it was removed. This leaves a wagon wheel shaped slab that is movable with a flat bottom where it was once embedded.
Beri questions if anyone can detect a regenerating body over the link and if the stone is big enough to hold a regenerating body.
Starblazer says to Zane, "It will probably take a day to reach the sun you described good master. As for the trajectory of the flung object it would remain on the heading your threw it. The speed would be equal to 200ft plus however fast you throw the object."
You have the stone slab in a transportable form. What do you do now?
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells d20+4=9 ; d20+20=33 ; Wednesday June 7th, 2017 1:20:41 AM Ok, the way I see it we have several options.
Option 1: Remove the phylactery and destroy it by force. (Do we have any reason to think Bosk cannot destroy it with his sword?)
Option 2: Put it in a Bag of Holding + stab the bag (no Portable Hole)
Option 3: Keep it locked in the Portable Hole and place the hole in a Bag of Holding This should stop the lich due to the lack of gear upon respawning (no focus items for plane sift) but it will not destroy the lich.
Option 4: Put it in our vault.
Iron Vault Fate Item APPROVED by Rob for play on 2013MAY20 [Cauldron and Spear Module] 1. Basement: The door to the room is guarded by twin Symbols of Sleep and Stunning that are on the inside of the door lintel and will be keyed in on the Iron Adventurers (further, the IA are able to Key in new members and key out old). Coupled with the Symbols is an Permanent Alarm Spell that will go off if the Symbols are triggered. The alarm sounds in a location chosen by the Iron Adventurers. The Room is further covered by a Permanent Private Sanctum and Permanent Dimensional Lock (with a 10x10 hole APG Shaping Metamagic) where the Vault is located. 2. Entrance: The entrance is like the entrance to a Magnificent Mansion; invisible until a Command Word is spoken (Iron Adventurers Choose), then opens into a 10x10 hole into a void-like area filled with objects and sparkly lights floating in a vast black void. This is a demi-plane. 3. Vault: Any magical item thrown into the Vault spins slowly in the void and immediately creates 9 copies of itself. Each copy is alike in physical and magical aura characteristics, but does not possess any other power. The demi-plane is infinite and filled with flotsam and jetsam, so is nearly impossible to recover an item. On the off-chance one is found, there is only a 10% chance that it is the correct item!
Option 5: Try to contact Gimp and see if he or Gargul has a recommendation or can destroy it for us.

Restlin hums a little song to himself. Not much to do except remain still to make it easy for his friends inside his belly.
Definitely some impatience getting stronger and stronger from him, though.

Garret looks around for something. He apparently doesn't see what he is looking for and he turns to Tink, saying, "Do you know where I could find a mug of warm water?"

I say we just destroy the thing and put it's shattered remains in our vault as a trophy. We can always do something more extreme is plan A fails.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday June 7th, 2017 10:53:07 PM
Bosk uses one more scroll of shape stone to reveal the phylactery and then attacks it with his guirsame. attacking it until is succumbs to his will.
Coming to you live from inside the belly of the beast - [DM Hugh] Wednesday June 7th, 2017 11:48:27 PM Bosk outlines several options for dealing with the phylactery to his companions.
Tink suggests they just destroy it as sending Taurbane to another plane could just end up coming back.
Restlin sings a little whale song to himself as his friends move around in the organ containing the stone, starting to get impatient.
Sesha agrees with Tink and tells Bosk to smash.
Garret looks around for something and then ask Tink where he could find a mug of warm water.
Wyaar also agrees with the smash plan.
Zane says to do what you are going to do
Beri says plan A is to just destroy thing and put it on their wall as they can always do a plan B later if needed.
Bosk uses stone shape to reveal the phylactery. The phylactery itself is a large blood red ruby. The horned cleric grinds it into dust with his Guisarme and he feels as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulders as his parents have been avenged and Vivian will not be coming back.
With the destruction of the phylactery Restlin no longer feels pain. He feels like he can open his blow hole near where his friends are and let them out without requiring them to exit through his mouth or rear.
What now?
Sesha [AC 35 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Thursday June 8th, 2017 12:28:42 AM
Sesha rests a slender hand on Bosks shoulder, reaching up over her own head to do so.
"Try talking to Gimp or Gargul about the cult, see if it's still impeded. If not, we have more work to do."
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 26 -- HP 185 -- Spells -- Active Effects Thursday June 8th, 2017 12:46:49 AM "Good riddance to bad rubbish" Tink nods in approval "Hey Sesha, would a piece of that phylactery be a good spell component for you later?

The pain gone, Restlin feels much better. He opens up an exit for his friends and hopes they use it quickly. He starts getting a bit fidgety, hoping they take the hint. He's eager to get back in his own body, cool as being a giant flaming space whale is.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 167/167 Ki:20/20 CMD: 37 SR: 27] Thursday June 8th, 2017 12:15:03 PM
Garret has a sudden insight and realizes that he can attempt to talk to the giant space whale. He says, "Hey, Restlin, if you're in the whale, does that mean the whale is in your body?"
Sesha [AC 35 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Thursday June 8th, 2017 1:39:02 PM
Sesha stops, and considers the phylactery pieces very carefully.
"I think, Tink, it would be."
Sesha bends down and claims a small piece of the stone, and tucks it into her component pouch. She hums happily to herself as she heads out of the whale and back to Stargazer.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Thursday June 8th, 2017 1:45:34 PM
Restlin feels around with his whale tongue in his whale mouth for the chunk of rose quartz crystal currently housing the oma's soul. He considers spitting it at Garret, but it could get pretty catastrophic if he missed.
Instead, he just looks at Garret and slowly shakes his whale head side to side.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday June 8th, 2017 3:07:16 PM
Zane, not a follower of Gargul, thinks in Gimp's general direction.... *Gimp, if you can hear me, I think we just destroyed it, any changes in your master? Or do we still have work to do?* Zane makes sure that Stargazer is currently behind the Oma, If Restlin does release it, it'd be better to be out of it's sight, at least to begin with.

Beriothian -- AC:34/18/32 HP: 291/219 CMD = 23 Thursday June 8th, 2017 9:22:56 PM Congratulations Bosk, this calls for a celebration when you get back. In the mean time, I'm going to do a quick scan and make sure everything is clear now. Beri looks out towards the oma again, casting his detect magic spell one more time. He checks to see if all evil auras have been cleared now that the phylactery has been destroyed.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday June 8th, 2017 11:23:35 PM
Bosk feels a weight lift from him as Vivian's soul, and as it departs he prays: We beseech You to make powerless, banish, and drive out every diabolic power, presence, and machination; every evil influence, malefice, or evil eye and all evil actions aimed against your servants. He then peers into the grey and watches as her soul is drawn forth for judgement.
Bosk also gathers up a bit of the phylactery and places it in one of his reliquaries. Turning to the others he says, Thank you for helping me to clear this matter up. It has been weighing on me for a long time. Hopefully Imp will let us know that everything has cleared up, but I think we are going to want to continue on to the ships origin. If Vivian's occult is still out there, then we need to stop it before it finds its way back to the Wold.
To Dust Vivian has returned - [DM Hugh] Thursday June 8th, 2017 11:58:08 PM Sesha rests her hands on Bosk's shoulder and suggests talking to Gimp or Gargul about the cult.
Tinksays good riddance to Vivian and asks Sesha if a phylactery piece would be a good spell component.
Restlin feels much better and opens up the blow hole so his friends can hopefully exit through it and allow him to return to his own body.
Garret realizes he can speak to Restlin in whale form and asks the magepriest-Oma if the Oma itself is in Restlin's body.
Seshastops and considers the phylactery agreeing with Tink. She takes a small piece and puts it in her component pouch.
Restlin considers spitting the rose quartz containing the Oma's soul at Garret but figures a miss could be disastrous. he looks at Garret and shakes his whale head side to side instead.
Zane informs Gimp of the destruction of the phylactery of Vivian Taurbane and asks if Gargul is still being blocked.
Wyaar asks if it is destroyed then. He double checks with detect evil.
Beri congratulates Bosk on his achievement and uses detect magic to study the Oma one last time looking for any further auras.
Bosk feels the weight lift and gives a little prayer, he then places a bit of the phylactery in one of his reliquaries. He thanks his friends for their help and says they still need to continue to the ships origin.
Wyaar and Beri detect no more unnatural or evil auras in the Oma just the normal magics one would expect coming from a strong fiery space whale.
Gimp comes across staticky over the link, "Uh...dragons...Boss man says he's still blocked...Look's like you'll have to see where that fancy ship of yours came from after all."

Sesha sighs and pats Alice on the arm. She smiles tenderly at the hideous creature, made of strips of flesh so dried they might be mistaken for rags. She brushes a lock of stringy, spare hair from the golems piercing blue eyes.
"Good job kiddo. You tried your best. Back to your doll please."
With a slight tone of sadness, Sesha once more feels pangs of guilt over her decision to create this creature, which echo lightly over the covens bond. She shoos the regret away with a quick pinch to her cheeks, then makes her way back to the ship.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Friday June 9th, 2017 9:13:31 AM
Restlin ponders how to proceed as his friends exit his temporary whale body. He refused to hurt the oma, but he was unsure of what mood the thing would be in once the magic jar spell ended. He also couldn't communicate his plan since this thing didn't speak.
He decides to full speed ahead past them, returning his soul to the rose crystal quartz, then to his own body at the far range of the spell in the opposite direction the ship is heading. The distance and momentum of the oma will give them a head start, and maybe if the oma returns to his body without the ship in sight, it will just continue on its way.
So, he does that once everyone is back on the ship. Once back on his body, he keenly encourages his friends to get the thing moving quickly.

When Garret watches the space whale move away from the ship, he reaches down and shoves as many of Restlin's fingers into Restlin's mouth as he can before Restlin returns. Then he casually walks away, whistling.

Beri changes back into his human form and thanks the air elementals for standing guard before the return home, happy that they weren't needed this. All clear, no more evil auras. I'm not sure that Oma has the slightest idea what happened there, but I'm now that he no longer has a lump of stone inside him and is free of the evil I'm sure he'll be much happier.
At the end of the day Beri will use his spell staffspell to store remaining Elemental Swarm spell.

Friday's Post
Sesha pats Alice on the arm asking her to go back into the doll.
Restlin waits till everyone is on the ship then moves to the range of the spell. Once back on board he urges his friends to get things going quickly.
Garret Garrett shoves Restlin's fingers in his mouth before Restlin's soul returns and then wanders away whistling.
Zane asks Stargazer to resume the journey once Restlin is back on board.
Wyaar flies out the blow hole and settles on starblazer waiting for it to move.
Beri changes back into his human form and dismiss the elementals. He gives his friends the god news and then stores the elemental swarm in the spellstaff.
Tink appraises the gem fragment and then voices her agreement with Restlin that the whale may be angry.
The Oma is 270 feet away from the ship when Restlin's soul reenters his body, his fingers in his mouth.
Looking up you see the Oma wriggling and stretching in contentment. It flicks its mighty tail and does a loop! It comes closer to the ship. Close enough you can begin to feel the heat radiating from its skin. It gives the side of the ship a gentle nuzzle with its snout, singeing the wood. It pauses for a moment, and you hear a deep rumbling coming from inside the oma. Its mouth and neck convulse, and it begins heaving. After three or four heaves, it opens its mouth wide and vomits. With a gurgling roar a stream of honey-colored muck is sprayed all over the deck, and all over the party members. It has the consistency of thick molasses. In the thick muck are numerous fist-sized chunks of a dull gray, waxy material.
The oma gives the ship one more nuzzle, then turns and begins flying away.

Restlin wakes up with his fingers crammed into his mouth. He gags a bit before he can remove them and shouts out "NOT COOL, GARRET,"before regaining his composure.
He's happy to see the oma happy. He feels like he shares a bond with the creature...I mean, he was the creature, so he guesses that's natural. That bond is shattered after he is covered in vomit. He nearly immediately casts prestidigitation and sloughs the stuff off him. His clothing is enchanted to resist getting dirty, but that vomit probably went everywhere.
Continuing to use his prestidigitation magic, he stomps on the deck and clears a small 3' circle around him. Only then does he feel safe again. He casts a summoning spell, bringing 3 small earth elementals into existence. In terran, he asks them to start gathering the chunks of this stuff. "I'll get some water elementals here when they're done to wash the rest of it off."

Wyaar moves towards the railing when the Whale come back around and smiles at the sight of it coming so close and relies on the protection from energy he has going to keep him from getting singed like the ship... and then the whale mucus happens. He blinks, looking down at himself and then the others before laughing, "Guess it's stomach is finally settled?" he asks and waits for one of the magic types to clean him off.

Beri sees the waxy material all over the deck and instantly recognizes the stuff. Garret, don't eat that! And don't prestidigitation this stuff away either. Collect as much of it as you can, even if it means doing it by hand. It may look like honey, but it's really ambergris... stuff they make perfume with. The regular stuff from normal whales is worth a fortune, I can't even begin to fathom how you would calculate the worth of magic, fiery space whale ambergris. Such a thing has likely never even made it to the Wold to be sold.
Beri looks around the ship and finds a mop to start collecting their unexpected treasure.

***posting for Bosk*** So this is ambergris. I've heard of this before, but never seen it in it's raw state. StarGazer, is there any chance the artificial gravity can be altered slightly to help pool the ambergris together in one spot? or a low spot on the deck where this would slowly pool together? We can put a portable hole down and this will be a breeze. Bosk grabs a mop and joins Beri in collecting as much of the ambergris as possible.

Restlin's world crumbles as he pulls out his vials of lavender oil. "Is...is there whale vomit in this?"
