  * Revana went below deck to talk to Remy, who was already busy helping Micky prepare food for their journey.
    * Rev asked her about who the Inquisitor was that Remy had travelled with.
    * Remy explained that Inquisitors are demon hunters with the Church, with their leader simply being called The Inquisitor.

    * Sanglant impressed the Boatswain with his climbing abilities and quickly became friendly with the rest of the crew.

=== Morning, 6th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The second day of travel was relatively uneventful.
    * In the distance, Ekhart thought perhaps he saw something that looks like dolphins swimming in the distance.
    * Revana used her control weather magic to help guide the ship quickly through some rough wind and rain.


=== Morning, 7th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The third day of travel was mostly uneventful.


=== Night, 7th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * Sometime during the night, the party woke up to the hushed sounds of the crew above deck.
  * Revana snuck aboard and saw that the ocean was extremely calm, the moon was full, and the crew of the Meraverus were boarding [[wiki:organizations:ghost_ship|another ship]].
    * She returned below deck to waking the party.
    * They all waited for a while, but after about 30 minutes of hearing absolutely nothing, they decided to go after the crew.
  * The party woke Remy and left above deck to board this new ship.
    * While above deck, Revana felt a calming connection to something that felt familiar.
    * Sanglant went across the planks connecting the ship first, only to be ambushed by several invisible creatures.
    * The beings looked like ghoulish, corporeal men. They seemed to have the ability to go invisible, pull magical daggers from their hearts, and grow in size.
  * After an easy victory, the party more closely examined the ship.
    * The ship appeared derelict, almost like a ghost ship.
  * The four of them descended below deck.
    * They found the crew, that appeared to be unconscious and attached to the sides of the ship by barnacles and seaweed.
    * Before they could get them down however, they heard a couple voices.
  * They heard the voice of a spirit telling them to come into the hull of the ship.
    * When the party asked who they were talking to, [[wiki:npcs:anora|a Water Spirit]] appeared before them.
  * The water spirit told them that they would release the crew, if the four of them came below deck.
    * When they refused, another spirit, [[wiki:npcs:jayelle|a Life Spirit]], joined the conversation, also threatening the party.
  * Ekhart tried to cast blight on the Life Spirit, that appeared to be made of plant matter, but the spirit was able to counterspell them and combat begun.
  * As they fought, a third spirit, this time [[wiki:npcs:boan|an Earth Spirit]], joined the battle.
  * The party managed to kill the Water and Life spirit, but before they could kill the Earth Spirit, it warned them that killing her would destroy the ship and kill everyone.
