Heroes: Ayrin, Azrael, Gondriel
The Heroes meet with the prophet Tiktitik on board of one
of the kreen Leaf-ships, but no amount of words seems to
sway the zealot from his self-appointed task to bring the
truth of the Eternal Lotus to Bral first, and to
Realmspace next. Before they leave, the Heroes
giveTiktitik an ancient copy of the Lyrics of the Eternal
Lotus that they found months back while exploring an
Elders' outpost. Hopefully, he will find the true message
of peace and non-violence of the Eternal Lotus among the
alien metallic pages of the strang tome.
Upon their return to Bral, Gondriel makes a difficult
choice; with war and probably total destruction looming
above their heads, he looks to Lady Cephenrene Daxault for
a way to escape the Rock. Lady Cephenrene obliges, and
thanks to her influence she arranges for a powerful wizard
to teleport both her and Gondriel to Faerun.
During the next few days, ambassadors from the kreen fleet
meet with Prince Andru, who apparently agrees to the
insectoid's terms. It is not clear if his compliance is a
ruse to buy some time, or a total surrender, but the
Gloria wastes no time to find out.
The Heroes call for a secret meeting of all the ships
docked at the Rock, and plan their own assault on the
kreen invaders. Brave captains throw their ships at the
enemy fleet, in a suicidal attack aimed at giving the
Gloria's crew a chance to board the Queen-ship.
The Gloria suffers greatly under the combined attacks of
three leaf-ships and several thorn-ships loaded with
greek-fire; when all seems lost, the Heroes ram the
Queen-ship with what's left of their burning vessel, and
set foot on the kreen deck.
