So, when last we left our intrepid duo, Liam was languishing in a slave cage aboard the Relentless, denied the use of his magics by a deadmage candle, firmly in the grip of his sister-in-law, Cestina, and the mercenary, Piper.
Ulda Bordis, on the other hand, had found allies aboard the Farwen, a trader ship that dabbles in piracy. As the ship raced after Liam, Ulda Bordis was witness to a shocking illusionary transformation cast upon the ship and all of its occupants, and then the vessel magically rising to fly just above the surface of the Gilded Sea.
This session, we began with Ulda Bordis and Leth, discussing the Farwen and its crew, and the nature of Ulda Bordis's relationship with Liam. We learn that Captain Trapp was sold as a slave when he was younger, explaining his hatred for the Relentless. We also learn that Eunia, the angry drunk lady, and the person responsible for the ship's magical transformation and locomotion, is a ritualist mage with a shady background.
Meanwhile, aboard the Relentless, Liam is taken upstairs by Cestina's loyal bodyguard, the dwarf-woman named Swallow Mooncliff. She is one tough customer, not taking shit from anyone. Liam is brought to the Captain's cabin, where Cestina convinces him to behave and his trip home to Lionscliff won't have to be unpleasant. He agrees and the manacles he's wearing are removed, as the deadmage candle is brought up from below. Liam also gets to meet some of the other people traveling aboard the Relentless: her commanding officer, Captain Corrico, a heavyset red-head with a missing left eye; Doctor Ibramalik, a mysterious stranger; Sir Farlo and his wife, Lady Repana, returning from a diplomatic mission to the eastern nations.
Liam is good, but the dinner is incredibly tedious, until a cannonball bursts through the cabin door, killing Captain Corrico and pinning Sir Farlo to his chair. Swallow moves to protect Cestina, while Liam and Doctor Ibramalik take shelter beneath the table.
Outside, it sounds like all hell is breaking loose.

Woohoo! Things happening! And next session, Liam and Ulda Bordis get to level up their Health as they achieve Level 9. :D
