Resisting the visions, Urgeon attempts to identify the creature.
Urgeon will blast the spirit with his wand of magic missiles.

Ridic looks at it, not sure what to make of it so he asks the others
"What is it? How do we fight a beast like that?"

Kovax will plant the Glaive for light in round 1 and get out the magical battle axe and rage
Urgeon is unsure of what the creature is although he feels the answer is right at the tip of his tongue.

Razorend reacts with lightning quickness, leaping forward and attacking with his ki honed against the ethereal and enhancing the speed of his blade.

As if to answer Ridic, Razorend leaps to the front slashing the creature before it can move. His first swipe is turned slightly by something pushing against his blade, but his second swing cuts deeply carving through the black translucence like it was flesh.
The dark spirit reaches out to swipe at Razorend, brushing the android and reaching right through his armor sending a cold chill through him.
; HIT!; negative energy + make a DC16 Fort Save or take points of Con drain.
Urgeon pummels the creature with force magic, causing it to flinch back from Razorend as Ridic and Kovax prepare for engagement.
Razorend's eyes and skin glow for a second as he tries to resist the undead's draining touch, but the power surge rapidly flickers and fades. Razorend withdraws, barely able to keep standing.
Urgeon will hit it again with the wand.
Seeing Razorend attack with a melee weapon, Ridic joins the fight

Razorend retreats behind Kovax and the wraith flows to follow stopping to attack Kovax along the way, but the wily warrior ducks under the swipe.
Ridic steps up to attack and misses widely while Urgeon hammers the creature with a couple more bolts of force.
Kovax will go on the offense and attack with both axe and gun, both are Magical

Drained of vitality, Razorend wearily tries to regain his focus.
Ridic will once again continue his attack..

Damage
Razorend retreats to recharge as the wraith swipes at Kovax again; missing wildly as it appears to spy something beyond the wall that distracts it.
Urgeon pummels it as Ridic once again continues to miss. Kovax swings and shoots cutting through the creature and feeling some resistance, but harming the essence more than the body like Razorend did. The wraith just dodges out of the way of the fiery bullet. The creature wavers in and out of existence, its form barely being held together as wisps of black stream away from it.
; miss
Refocused, if still sapped of vigor, Razorend steps sideways and appears behind the phantom. He lashes out with his kukri, hoping to end the vile undead for good.

And with a quick teleporting strike, Razorend plunges his blade into the wraith and it quivers and shakes flashing in and out of existence before it disappears, a long sigh releasing.
There is a palpable change as the temperature in the area increases and the humidity drops significantly. The ambient light in the area raises quite a bit as you realize the sun is shining through some of the cracks and holes in the ceiling.
A quick glance over at the remains of the wraith shows a perfectly intact full body suit of red fibers interwoven with metal. It show slight elasticity and looks to be very tight fitting. Next to the suit lies a worn yellow pistol of some sort.
Urgeon sheathes his wand and walks over to examine the body. "The wraith thanked us in Androffan. Centuries of undeath in a strange land ... can you imagine?"
He examines the red fiberous suit to see if it can be removed and salvaged. He also studies the pistol before handing it to Kovax. He searches the area and detects magic.
Kovax will assist with the Suit and the Pistol

"What do you mean, he thanked us? What did it say?"
"Urgeon, I wouldn't put your weapon away just yet, this place is strange beyond words, and these things seem to appear from anyplace"
Ridic will also investigate the suit.
Urgeon identifies the pistol as a timeworn mindburner
Price: 8,000 gp
Type: One-handed ranged
Proficiency: Exotic (firearms)
Dmg (M): Special
Dmg (S): Special
Critical: x2
Range 20 ft.
Capacity: 10
Usage: 1 charge
Special: Touch
Weight: 2 lbs.
A mind burner is a pistol with a dishlike adornment at the tip of its barrel. When this weapon is fired, a pulse of white smoke pools in the dish an instant before a thin beam of white light lances out to strike its target. A mind burner is silent when fired, but stray particles from the mind-altering beam can cause those nearby to catch unexpected scents associated with powerful memories—the odor of a bouquet of flowers given to one's first lover, the scent of a parent's perfume or sweat, or maybe even the odor of a favorite food that hasn't been eaten in years.
On a successful hit, a mind burner causes intense headaches that dull the senses and weaken willpower. Each hit deals 1d4 points of nonlethal damage, but also imposes a -2 penalty on Perception checks and a -1 penalty on saving throws against mind-affecting effects. These penalties stack with themselves, up to a maximum penalty of -10 on Perception checks and -5 on mind-affecting saving throws. A creature can resist the penalties caused by a shot from a mind burner with a successful DC 14 Will save; otherwise, the penalties persist for 1 hour after the previous successful shot. On a critical hit, a mind burner's penalties are doubled along with its nonlethal damage.
Requirements: Craft Technological Arms and Armor, military lab
Craft DC: 28
Cost to Create: 4,000 gp
He is unable to determine the details of the suit, but searching through it turns up two items on the inside. One is a small 2 inch by 2 inch x 1/2 in thin square of metal with a razor thin slash on the thin side that appears to be a hole of some sort.
The second item is a thin metal circlet with 2 thin extensions on either side thst reach up like slender horns or antenna. The front of the circlet is slightly thicker.

Urgeon nods at Ridic, "Indeed, we are not out of danger yet."
He explains the operation of the pistol to Kovax. "This may be useful for incapacitating someone."
He attempts to identify the circlet and metal square.
"Are we done here? This place gives me the creeps, thankful spirits or not."
Urgeon identifies the metal square as a fully functional piece of cybertech, a skillslot
While examining the circlet, a small portion of it depresses and a voice speaks from it in Androffan.
At nearly the same time, Dalamus, looking through the red suit finds a hidden pocket and inside it discovers a small length of crystal about the size of a human thumb that’s adorned at one end by a metal cap fitted with prongs and plugs. The crystal’s interior contains sparkling veins of glittering light.
Ridic will look at Urgeon "What do you think this thing is for?"
He will show Urgeon the crystal....
Urgeon translates the androffan recording for the group. "It appears to be a final log prepared by the ship's captain. He references the mother ship - Divinity. And an 'AI' named Unity. Hmmm."
He then studies the crystal in Ridic's hand.
Urgeon, fatigued, is struggling figuring out how things work, right now.
Urgeon shakes his head at Ridic. "Let's look at it again in the morning. I suggest we rest. These rooms seem secure enough. What do you all think?"
Razorend nods with a grunt. "The sooner we quit this place the better. The ruins under Torch didn't bother me, but something about this crashed ship disturbs me."
"This place is certainly unsettling, but it is rather secure. Let's set up camp then, and rotate watches"
What time of day is it and how long does it take us to get back to our base with Danya?
"I'd rather not stay in this place. Outside, fine, but not in here."
Urgeon shrugs his shoulders. "That's understandable. Let's head back then."
You head back.
As you depart the wreck, you notice the mist is completely gone making your trek out much less ominous other than the various stashed dead bodies, items and other such things that unsavory types had apparently hidden in the mist.
As you depart the canyon, a crowd is beginning to gather around the sign. A gasp and murmur go through them as you exit and some folks point at you and whisper. As you get closer, they move backward, giving you space. A couple folks clap and one calls out, "What's your name?!"
Razorend shies back from the crowd's attention, happy to remain individually anonymous.
Perception
Ridic will look at the others, then back to the crowd "Your saviors"
Ridic keeps on walking
Urgeon nods at Ridic's comments and smiles. "The Scrapwall Saviors. We'll see if we can live up to that name."
Ridic will just smile at Urgeon and keep walking.
The party is able to make it back to the Clockwork Chapel without any incident. In fact, some of the gang patrols give you an intentionally wide berth.

Once at the chapel, Urgeon collapses with exhaustion. "Let's regroup in the morning and figure out where we go from here."
He will rest the night and will memorize spells at dawn.
Ridic stops abruptly on the walk back, and looks around "Did you guys see that? It looked....well like a skull that was see through. I think that is what I saw, it was quick."
"A skull?" Razorend twitches, looking back towards where Ridic is indicating. "I saw a floating skull in that haunted ship. It's chasing us!" He focuses his senses and tries to pick up their ghostly tail, lines across his skin glowing along with his eyes.
Urgeon will also study the area. "Yes, it sounds like a ghost of sorts."
There is no other sign of anything.

Razorend fingers the edge of his blade nervously. He seems unusually anxious, given his normal frosty demeanor. "I don't like it."
"Let's just keep moving, but watch as we walk. We want to make sure there is no ambush ahead."
Perception
"Where did you see the skull was it here at the Chapel or on the way back?"
Kovax will begin to study everything that we have found to date while here in the city trying to better understand the tech and just reviewing what we have heard and learned before falling asleep.
He will also check in on both Meyanda and Dinvya to see how they are doing and see if they need anything.
Meyanda may be able to join us soon as I don't think we have anything to fear from the local gangs anymore.
