The party finds themselves in varying parts of the Azure Port. Everyone is directed to the "Garnet Grille" they are then amid a vast panic on the dock, directed to the last ship available by Gorak, a giff. Caelen reluctantly gives them a ride.

Caelen takes the party and Gorak to the Oracle 9 and they are given a chance to rest before having to take on some baby astroid spiders.

The party gets up, they joke about how Gavin did not get laid. They then go to breakfast and then head to the Brown sector, where 6 baby astroid spiders are then killed along with two of the towers of green ooze.

-Zook ‘Star-Skipper’ the hadozee swashbuckler rogue wandered onto train to look at moving stars

-Jarkuhdax’Ust the Tiefling Fiend Warlock is chilling in dining car drinking wine. 

(He ONLY goes by his full name but I ain’t typing that out every time, so in notes he’s Dax)

-Kiki Grimza the goblin thief rogue is hiding in cargo car eating fruit from a crate

-Zook and Kiki both speak in the 3rd person

-train stops, Orc Amelia Scarbine comes and tells Zook to follow her to emergency car at back of train

-they get Dax, who gets Zook wine drunk. Turns out Zook, or Zookery Twigwin, is a wine snob and is smart/sophisticated when drunk

-they don’t see Kiki hiding,  Kiki comes out to flirt with Dax

-Move through the train, clear shit is happening

-Zookery sobers up into Zook, Dax casts Intoxicate on him to make him Zookery again 

-Kathryn puts time limit of 1 hour on Intoxicate (if save isn’t passed and spell isn’t dismissed)

-room of plants and dinosaur skeletons has train power core, plants kill when attacked

-emergency car isn’t safe, evil Thomas the train looking ass wants to throw hands

-Dax is EXTRA AS HELL and *stabs himself in the side* to get blood for blood magic

-Zook does great damage but passes out from heat of the fires, hitting his head

-Kiki blasts it a bunch with a laser pistol

-Evil train is dead yay

-Zook wakes up and is permanently Zookery from hitting his head

-Zookery doesn’t speak in the 3rd person

-Just because Kiki speaks in the 3rd person doesn’t mean Kiki is stupid. Kiki is pretty average intelligence, Kiki is just a goblin

-Dax doesn’t even heal his side, the dramatic fuck, someone else has to.

After killing the spiders, the party begins to destroy the pedestals around the vat of acid-water stuff. After each pedestal is destroyed, the vat empties, revealing a large cybernetically enhanced spider. Initiative is rolled. After defeating said spider, one of its eyes projects a holographic message. Lyron Alcaeus, an astral Aasimar, explains that the trial the party just went through was a test. He goes on to explain that the party were the first to survive the strait. The party loots the spider’s corpse and find a key card, which teleports them to an undisclosed location.

The party enter a room. The door closes and locks, prompting the party to find a way out. A voice on the intercom states, "Please remain still for deployment of anesthetics. Your upgrade will begin shortly."

An anesthetic gas begins filling the room, knocking Caelen and Gavin out. Autonia casts Air Bubble on the two, waking them up. Lumistra uses her breath weapon to weld the vents shut, cutting off the sleeping gas. 

Suddenly, Lyron Alcaeus appears in the room, threatening the party. Combat is initiated. 

After absolutely brutalizing this dude’s groin, the party loots the room and heads back to the top deck of the station.

Autonia electrocutes and force damages, and then Yenari gives him a spear piercing.

Mystery woman appears in not Caelen’s room (aka the dock). She’s blind, but she can see people’s… Aether? Ether? Idk, she can peep their fuckin soul bits 

Weird blind lady reveals herself to be… (dramatic gasp)… Caelen’s SISTER??? Dun dun DUUUUNNNNNN

Yea Caelen, don’t be a racist mfer, we’ve had too many in these campaigns (yea, notetaker breaking the fourth wall, whatchu gonna DO ABOUT IT)

Her name is Caelia Silvershroud. She arrived on her living ship, The Dawntreader with Calcia, a Treant 

The party goes to the station’s bar to chat. Caelia says she’s a royal advisor. Gavin goes “ooo, a sugar momma😏”

They get drinks.

Caelia reveals that a creature is carrying a blight across the universe, extinguishing life planets at a time

Caelen: Master of Robotic Racism
Caelen uses lightning magic to respark Autonia’s heart core defense mechanism
    Gavin is tasked with building Autonia a device that replicates an ether. Caelia joins the group on this expedition to serve as a navigator (she blind tho).

The party continues the discussion on the ship
Gavin mentions harnessing solar flare energy, which gives Autonia ptsd flashbacks
In an attempt to identify a liquid, Autonia drinks it, only to discover it was a hallucinogenic drug. Autonia gets high

Autonia’s drug trip wears off and she immediately goes into withdrawal

     Yenari reveals that they too are high, having snuck a vial of liquid rainbow. Gavin carries Yenari to bed before showing Autonia the Steel Defender he created. He names it Spark

Autonia be scared of Spark.

As Gavin, Autonia, and Caelia head off to their room, Caelen falls asleep underneath the treant that i forgot the name of. After a while, the treant wakes Caelen up, notifying him that a ship is approaching. Caelen brings Yenari for back up in case the ship is hostile. After confirming the ship is friendly, Caelen lets the ship dock. Caelen’s old friends/crew introduce themselves (Garblorb, Gavriel, Llo, and Ra’Kina) and there’s some catching up. Autonia, under the impression that Spark was created to replace her, becomes cold and distant to Gavin. Noticing this, Caelen talks to Autonia, encouraging her to talk to Gavin about her feelings. Autonia leaks coolant (cries) 

Autonia is hanging out on deck with Lumista while Gavin and Caelia are in Gavin’s room. Caelan and Ra’Kina are catching up in his room. Autonia shuffles her DoMT and pulls the Star (+2 to any ability- she chose her con as a squishy metal wizard). Caelan’s spidey senses start tingling- he goes up to the deck and sees another living ship approaching but the treeant is dead (Dun dun DUNNNNNNN). Caelan goes to find Caelia in Gavin’s room after Ivy tells him she’s there. Ivy doesn’t sense any necrotic energy. Caelia thinks something has corrupted its ether. Plot twist- it’s a ZOMBIE living ship! (OoooOooooOooooo) Gavin climbs to crows nest to find Autonia sleeping there. She Misty steps them both back down. Ivy gives an acorn on a cord to Autonia so Caelia can ‘see’ her through the living ether. Caelan starts figuring out where everyone’s battle strengths are. Ivy says Autonia is very kind for an autognome. Autonia offers to heal Ivy if needed and Ivy is touched. Ra’Kina comes out wearing Caelans cloak. Autonia has no social awareness and calls it out. Gavin is mortified. Autonia suggests she Misty steps to the zombie ship, Caelan and Ra’Kina scream NO. Caelia says there are 4 entities- either vampire or undead she can’t tell. Gavin sees them and casts bane on them They are alerted to the party and everyone rolls initiative including Ivy Autonia positions herself between the enemy and Gavin as per her directive. We greatly outnumber the enemy They are “Living Dead” (a type of undead) Autonia places the acorn on a cord from Ivy in her chest next to her Heartcore- protected by the magic from Caelan. (Since the stronger protective magic is still protecting the hammer). We defeat the living dead and their Zombie Ship. Autonia now wants a gun. We see Xeris, a metal planet, but it doesn’t look right. The Blight started here… Caelan wants to do more research before going down there, especially since one of the crew is made of metal (Autonia). 

We on planet Caelan lost leg He big mad But wait, he’s got wood We disembark onto the planet, Autonia sits on Gavin’s shoulders to avoid the blight. Caelen realizes the blight is SEEKING OUT his leg despite his thick boot. Caelia roasts her brother for not telling the others about his metal leg, he replaces it with his old wood one. He is salty, that leg was EXPENSIVE. Autonia starts to feel the blight but tries to hide it. Autonia offers to fist everyone’s bumps. 

Blight gives Autonia a stutter with a side of Tourette’s Autonia becomes partly Organic, grows an ether, and becomes more Autistic. The party discovers a corpse with an augmentation on his eyes, and that he is the root of the blight that attacked the planet. 

Antonia scans the dead boy’s memories further, looking for where he got the augmentation that started the blight. They see it, and Autonia accidentally grows flowers next to the corpse. Autonia is noticeably acting differently, and this is startling for all. She wants to keep investigating, but Caelan decides they should go back to the ship, leave Xeris, and regroup. Autonia can now hear Ivy in her head because of the acorn. She also realizes that she’s always been more than a temporary companion to Gavin. Yenari doesn’t leave the body at first. They hear a voice. They don’t understand why someone would augment themselves. Gavin and Autonia both have anxiety attacks about how much Autonia has changed. They have a heart to heart. Yenari has a conversation with the voice that is “themselves” and goes by Guide. Gavin, Caelan, and Autonia work on Caelan’s new leg. Caelan reveals that the shop where the dead boy got his eyes augmented is on a moon-planet called Nyxora, in a sketchy city called Rainspire. He doesn’t want to go back there because of past jobs he did there and because they have to wear a specific style to blend in. Gavin finishes the new leg, it’s cool as fuck. It attaches to Caelan’s leg to the point where Caelan can FEEL the leg. Everyone goes to trace/sleep/stasis while Ivy heads the ship to Nyxora. 

Yenari wakes up first curled up with Lumistra and Spark They hear the voice again. It teases them for meditating and tells them to look at the stars. Yenari doesn’t understand how the Astral Sea doesn’t have any water. Yenari knows how to make one thing. Rice. They go wake Caelan and ask him to teach them how to cook. Ra’Kina comes and helps too. Caelan has tofurky Facon for Yenari. Gavin wakes up to sprouts/blossoms all around the room from where Autonia is in stasis because of her new green magic she doesn’t have a grasp on yet. Caelia is bombarded by the ether of all of the greenery. Antonia experienced dreaming?? Gavin has to explain dreams to her. Gavin does not like change. Everyone goes to breakfast. (Yenari won breakfast) Ivy likes the “redecorating” but Caelia asks if Caelan and Gavin can make her an ether-blocking eye mask so it’s not too bright for her. She also asks if Gavin can invent her something that can make ether take the form of the person so she can “see” Gavin better. Autonia promises to kill Caelia if she is disappointed in how Gavin looks. Autonia gets the urge to photosynthesize. She resists. Autonia struggles with clothing. Gavin helps her. She is self conscious wearing clothes and hides behind Gavin. They plan to rip out peoples vocal cords then heal/grow them back if anyone laughs at her. Yenari asks Caelan for help with his tie. Everyone comes to the top deck in their outfits for Rainspire Ivy cloaks the ship and they dock They go to Blackthorne’s Augments. Cullen Blackthorne is working the front, knows Caelan. He’s half-elf/half-harengon. His dad, August Blackthorne, owns the shop and does the augments. He did the eye augment on the dead elven man, Prince Damien of Xeris Prime. Autonia finds no trace of the blight in the shop, doesn’t trust the Blackthornes, especially because August reads her to filth. They all pile into a taxi to go to Hazards Bar.
