Meanwhile the archon buzzes angrily, trying to burn the hateful undead out of this plane of existence!
Guaire switches to his bow and sees it shimmer.
"Neat, thank you, now i can likely work with it."
"Sister, I am not sure this is going to end well. Do you have anything that creates magical force? He is not fully in this reality. Mort, try more positive energy elementals."

The archon continues blasting, twin rays of light lance out to try and sear the undead.
"Mort, perhaps another round of elementals? I don't want that thing touching us."
As the first elemental dies it releases a burst of positive energy damaging the wraith and healing the rest of us.

Round 6
Wraith floats forward and tries to harm Omo stealing Omo's life for and Omo resists the drain of his life essence.
Good Guys are up
Mort draws his club and tries to guard Omo from further harm.
Guaire drops his bow and grabs his flail.
Noticing that Guaire has switched weapons, Seventeen again reaches out this time to enchant his flail. With a whispered word of power it glows softly with a blue radiance.
The archon continues to be mostly useless, finding the undead too hard to hit.
Omo lets out a shrill keen of terror, letting everyone in earshot know that he is not about that life (being touched inappropriately by the undead). However, he does not abandon his friends and shoves a fire bomb into the wraith's face.
Guaire does 4
Mort's elemental does 6
Omo does 9 and would suffer an AoO but the bomb destroys the wraith!
Combat Over!
Omo hisses his relief as the thing "dies."
"Jarreck, I don't have the knowledge to repair the damage done by that wraith. But, the priestess probably can help."
He searches the room.
Omo finds a a shiny (after its dusted off) red suit....it seems to bend light around it. It's a Red ScatterLight Suit (counted as Masterwork so it can be enchanted)
Also, on the crumbled corpse of the ship's captain is a Timeworn Mindburner (9 Charges), a Skillslot and a curious metallic necklace that Omo cannot identify.
With the death of the Wraith, the heaviness in the air is lifted....you are certain that the mist is dissipating as you stand there in the bridge of this ancient vessel.
Seven, is this magic?
|
Thank you, that creature when it touched me felt like ice rolling through my veins and each time I felt weaker than the last. "
After a few moments and some healing Jarreck will spend time looking over the items that Omo has found in the room.Taking his time to search for any hidden compartments that may be.
"I shall check Omo." replies Seventeen without hesitation.
She whispers a strange phrase and concentrates.
For a moment she is perfectly still and then she whispers, "Peculiar."
Somebody has to ask her what she means, she seems to snsp to the fore and replies, "Data banks in my mind have been -- made available. They temporal manipulation codes and, get this, the secret of flight."
Seven picks up the shiny device which is most certainly not magical. Suddenly everyone hears
"This is the final report of salvage module Chrysalis, Captain
Yurian Valako reporting. Divinity is lost; the rest of the ship's crew
is presumed dead or worse. The surviving crew of Chrysalis and I
are boarding a launch and will attempt an emergency landing, but
without Al control, the prospects of a safe landing are minimal.
I've secured an inhibitor facet-if I can install it into the Unity
interface, it should disable the Al's security long enough for us to
reclaim control and perhaps even signal for help from home. I'm
boarding the launch now, and will append further reports after
our successful landing."
Originally worn by translators, messengers, and diplomats,
these objects were always constructed to appear elegant and beautiful. An envoy's mouthpiece is a circlet worn across the mouth, with slender arms that reach along the jaw to wrap around the wearer's skull and hold the device in place. Two thin earpieces extend up from the band to slip unobtrusively into the user's ea rs once a mouth piece is donned. When created, an envoy's mouthpiece is encoded with a specific single
language. Whenever the language is spoken within 30 feet of the wearer, the mouthpiece translates that language into Androffan. In addition, any words spoken in Androffan by the wearer a retransformed by the mouthpiece into the encoded language, allowing conversation to take place between the wearer and speakers of the encoded language. An envoy's mouthpiece can not be used to translate languages other than
the one it has been programmed to transl ate, but a newly created mouth piece could, in theory, transl ate languages into something other than Androffan. An envoy's mouthpiece automatically records any words spoken through it, allowing anything said through the device
to be replayed through its earpiece at the touch of a button on the lower right side. Up to 30 continuous hours can be recorded in this manner. Holding the button down for a full round erases any currently stored conversations.
Seventeen's eyebrows raise as the device unexpectedly replays the recorded message. "Most unexpected. I wonder, hmm. Divinity and Unity those names seem oddly familiar. Yet I do not know their significance, and what is an inhibitor facet? The message suggests such a thing is here, perhaps in this room."
She looks at Omo as if he might know the answer.
"The remains of that wraith didn't carry it on him? It sounded like whatever that voice was talking about might have been the leader. I'd say that wraith fit that description."
Mort wanders over to the front of the vessel and looks outward.
"So this thing is a ship, that escaped another bigger ship? Must be pretty big..."
Mort's mind wanders as he gazes outward, his distaste for the technology forgotten and a curiosity and fascination for exploration slightly kindled.
Omo looks for anything that might be a facet, starting with the dust of the captain's body.
"Unity is one of the Lords of Rust, right? Didn't that priestess who kept shooting at me tell us to kneel before Unity? Mortal danger tends to sharpen the memory."
"Pretty big would probably be an understatement if we'd ever see it.
This ship i would call big in itself. Yet what makes me wonder, is what caused the remains of its passengers to rise up like that."
"Undeath can be caused by all sorts of things. Spells. Curses. Disease. Some natural phenomenon. Horrific, torturous death. Unresolved emotional issues. I'm guessing some combination of the latter two."
Seventeen frowns slightly and then pulls out the wand of Technomancy. She whispers the command word and suddenly like Neo, Omo knows Tech-Fu.
Lightly she says, "Perhaps you might find the search easier now Omo?"
