As the Farwen starts its pursuit of the Relentless, Captain Trapp and his crew reveal some surprises. A member of the crew, Eunia, is called into action. An angry drunken women, she castigates Trapp, but descends below deck and soon the Farwen and her crew undergo a startling transformation. The ship turns black as night, while the crew, including Ulda Bordis and Lethe, assume the guises of burning eyed phantoms.
Then, the first mate raises a red flag, and the Farwen starts to fly across the waves of the Gilded Sea, bearding down swiftly on their target.

Meanwhile, Liam wakes up in a large metal cage below deck on what he quickly realizes is a slave ship. He also quickly discovers that his magical abilities are being neutralized by a strange candle burning nearby. Assuming that it is his father who has captured him, Liam is surprised to learn that it is his newly widowed sister-in-law, Celestine, who has captured him. The two have a rather barbed conversation, as Liam learns only one of his nephews survived the attack on his family. He is unmoved that his parents survived.
He postulates that the attack on his family, which led to the deaths of his brothers, was probably carried out by one of three factions: (1)the Regent of Lionsgate, who may be growing concerned with the ambitions of Liam's father; (2) one of his father's personal enemies; or (3) Celestine's family.
Naturally, the last does not endear him to Celestine, who withdraws, leaving Liam with the man who arranged his capture, the rogue known as Piper.
They have a short conversation, and Piper leaves as well, leaving Liam alone, and thinking that he has a few weeks to escape before the ship returns to Lionscliff.

So, the above is a very abreviated record of my last two sessions.
It was good to get back to Liam, as I'm still having trouble channeling Ulda Bordis. The conversation between him and Celestine was great and the above synopsis does not do it justice. And Piper? Piper is a rogue. That's the best way to describe him. But he's a rogue working for Liam's father, Victor, and looking at winning some favor with the family's sole heir. Liam is not impressed.
In this session, Liam sort of revealed that he can be as calculating as any of his family, expressing sympathy regarding the murder of Celestine's son, and later, in that same conversation, asking her how long it will be before her family marries her off to another rich merchant?
It got very Game of Thrones there for a while, if you get my meaning.
I rolled randomly to see how many sessions before the Farwen catches up to the Relentless, and I've got one more to play before that happens and all hell probably breaks loose. I'm probably going to stick with Liam for the next session, unless the dice indicate otherwise, and maybe see what happens next between him and his captors. It should be entertaining.
