Razor Coast, a devil’s paradise, where a man’s fortune can bleed out quicker than a spitted pig, and where the dawn sky blazes across endless oceans. Oceans that for centuries hid a lost people of whom legend whisper were born into these wild reaches as the sons of sharks. Here, within in the kraken’s clutches, law means little while gold breaks all boundaries and blood, pearls, and rum pay for all sin.

I have been happy being one with god in Valhalla but I do believe having been watching over these guys these past days that I am needed and that I have much more work to do before going home to rest in the green pastures, besides, if I am not there I just have to being constantly coming down to save Ivar.
Before going back to the world, I will chat with my mother here and make sure she assigns someone to watch over this motley group in case they should need help again and I am not available, she said she would, so I feel good going to take care of my unfinished business.
I am certain I wont remember any of this later, so I will write it down in the book of life and Akashic Records so I can recall it the next time I commune with god about what I should be doing here, problem with being reborn into the world, cant remember nothing. When you die you gain all the knowledge you have before and after, but the small minds of our bodies just cant store it or make sense of it all.
Post Resurrection......
I feel much better, thank you for bringing me back, did we get those vampires what they deserve, a short walk and a drop on a rope or guillotine. Anyway, seem to have a dream while I was dead, if that's possible, where I came to your aide and stopped a monster from slaying Ivar and Oro Tu. There isn't anyway that really happened is there.

Oro-Tu raises an eyebrow. "You dream while in spirit form? But it was no dream."
He claps Aurora on the back as a form of welcome and promptly busies himself with his gear, not wanting to dwell on the concept of what Zalen has done.
Ivar nods seeing Aurora back, "Oro-Tu speaks true, t'was no dream. Later when we are situated we will need to speak of this Falkenjagger, it would seem that I am in his debt.." Turning to the rest of the party he asks. "We made the trip with the Captain and gave her half as we agreed. Now we know where it is may we return with our own ship and not give up half the booty?"
Leialoha scowls and adds, "Welcome back Aurora. These two definitely need you to keep an eye on them." When Ivar announces a thought to return to the island, Leialoha doesn't seem so sure, "I agree with Uraisa. I have no need of further wealth. The Tulita need help and the Razor is still in peril. I am giving what remains after my donation to the temple to the Tulita of Port Shaw. We should return to hunting the shark."

Oro-Tu grunts. "Maybe. But that island has much history with the shark. I suspect the shark god has claim there. I do not like to leave it in the hands of evil. Some day we will have to return to finish what we began.."

"But if we can break this new insurgence by the Black Shark, then we can spend time clearing out the pockets of his older times. The lighthouse feels like a more pressing issue now."
@Leialoha, when you bring your donation to the Tulita Milliauka has a favor to ask you. The most recent Beacon Island lighthouse keeper (a newcomer) took the position, but then never sent for his Tulita wife and their children. She’s terrified something happened to him and begged Milliauka for help. Milliauka in turn asks the PCs to investigate.

We should have demanded that the resurrection costs come out of the LOOT before the split with mercy, but I forgot. Is it too late to ask for that, since it was incurred expenses of the joint venture?

Oro-Tu nods, "Uraisia. The black shark has been stirring. Then, before you joined us, we witnessed a ritual to summon it. We killed the shark it summoned, but it is riled up. I am sure it is related."

Oro-Tu suggests they go, though if needed is willing to wait for morning. "What do you know of lighthouse and island, Milliauka?"
"For the first time in a long time, I heard Whale’s call. Whale speaks to me of blood in the water beneath Beacon Island. In a dream the Three came to me and all spoke. The waters below Beacon Island reek with the blasphemous taint of Dajobas, and they called on me to purify them." Milliauka asks the party to investigate and clear the waters of Dajobas’ corruption.

Oro-Tu nods, "This we do."
He turns to Uraisia and Silas, "Maybe you can find any recent information on island before we leave?"
Ivar listens carefully, not wanting to interrupt things that he's not sure he understands. When Oro-Tu commits with his "this we do" Ivar nods his head in agreement and asks "While Uraisia and Silas are gathering information do we need to acquire any gear or do anything to get the ship ready?"
A small island, Beacon Island served as an outpost for Port Shaw decades ago. A lighthouse was constructed here to guide merchant ships safely through the network of hazardous shoals surrounding Kai Bay. Five years ago, the last lighthouse keeper and his family disappeared; and since then, this accursed lighthouse stands unmanned. Passing ships report spotting a clutch of wyverns circling the top of the lighthouse.

"Hazardous? Will we be able to get there with boat?"
wonder if our ship is ready to sail Thinking for a moment Ivar asks "If our vessel is not ready to sail we could rent a smaller sail boat and take it ourselves to the light house."

"You dream while in spirit form? But it was no dream."
Spiritualism 101:
to answer the question, not really, when you are in spiritual body aka the ethereal body or the astral body, we can dream, imagine and think, but in astral, what we think becomes psychoactive, which means if you think it, it becomes or is created psychically, thought made manifest, I need a sword, see the sword and there it is. Ethereal and Shadow are equal parts of the physical world and so the same physics apply, so thought is not manifest, but I think therefore I am is probably more key. Ethereal copies the physical but has no measurable substance, this is how ghost attach themselves to the world instead of moving on into the light. Its the lowest form of spiritual body. To achieve the ethereal plane is the higher of spiritual forms, detached from the world, existing outside of it, but still able to view and manipulate it with thought. So if you dream it, it will happen by your will. When we leave the spiritual body and rejoin the physical body, our mind processes this experience as a dream, with discipline, we can control the experience. When the body is alive, we can use meditation to "jump" from our bodies like astronauts (notice the form of the word) to the astral plane keeping a projected mirror around us as a shield so to avoid being noticed by other entities of malice that may want to consume or harm our silver cord and travel on a spirit walk or astral travel, existing in two planes at once, either spiritually or physically, this is our original for we had before time and the form we will return to when we die. With practice, we can reach this state of zen more readily and eventually simultaneously, like listening to the grasshopper while watching the birds in the trees. Try it sometime. http://www.soul-guidance.com/houseofthesun/spirituallayers.htm
So to answer, yes we can dream while in spiritual body. Our minds process the experience as a dream like state to make sense of it.

need to speak of this Falkenjagger, it would seem that I am in his debt
why yes, I think that appropriate, but you should pray also to your own god, who it that again, they also deserve your gratitude, but if you should choose to give your fealty to him, he will gladly accept you.
also, in regards to the cost of my resurrection, you can take half out of my share if it would help, or did my share go completely to bringing me back, I would like to have some funds left to do maintenance on my weapons and armor, either way is OK. I do need some rest to recover and get acclimated to the world again, I was gone quite awhile and just don't feel connected except to you all, it all seems so distant for now, the concerns of this world and those outside my family here. Cant quite bring myself to care for the larger picture at the moment, give me time, it will come back to me in time, I will find my rage, too much piece in my soul at the moment, need something to get pissed off at.

Do we have our own ship which is functional and able to deal with a fight? Are we making sure that everyone can breathe underwater, especially after the temple?

I dunno about the ship, cap'n ;). I think Uraisia and Aurora both have water breathing prepped.

"Ok are we stocked up on healing and wands and whatever we might need to deal with were sharks? I will let Captain Montgomery know we will be setting sail soon and to prepare the crew."
"Definitely. Though hopefully I'll do better at avoiding hazardous locations this time." Assuming I donated all of my gold last time from the last adventure, I still have 270 gp to donate to the cause.

Our shares aren't enough to buy much separately if we want to try pooling for the staff. Actually the staff is 29k and probably not worth it with only cure serious and lesser restore/remove blindness etc. Would be better to just get a cure serious (11.2k) wand or cure critical (21k). A wand or two of CLW is still a necessity. It's the cheapest healing per gold piece, so its good for healing out of combat. Csw or cure critical is good for in combat healing. But 4 charges of CLW is cheaper than one charge of cure critical wounds...
I would suggest 1-2 wands of CLW each for Aurora and Uraisia (750gp each) plus one wand of CSW (3d8) at 11.25k for uraisia to hold onto for battles. That would be 12.75k for 2 CLW and one CSW versus 29k for staff or 21k for one cure critical.
that makes sense to me, the original amount was 14,912gp 5 sp. if we subtract the 12,750 from it that makes the split 2,162 5 gp or about 308 gp 9 sp 3 cp each or 270 gp 3 sp 1 cp if we include the boat.

Just to check, is Silas and Leialoha and Aurora also agreeing with that? If so let's do it and go.
