Session 35

Heroes: Ayrin, Azrael, Haurchefant, Ulfgeir

The Heroes fight their way through the thri-kreen crew, their sailors dying to the last man in order to allow them to reach the queen's throne room. The queen is protected by several elite kreen, and she's a powerful combatant herself. One by one, the Heroes fall, but just when everything seems lost, Azrael manages to inflict one last blow to the queen, and destroys her.

The remaining thri-kreen suffer greatly from her death, as she releases a psychic scream that temporarily stuns the whole fleet! Kreen ships crash into each other, and Azrael is forced to make his escape without his unconscious companions to save her own life.

When the remaining kreen ships leave the Rock and dust settles, Azrael is found by the Curse of Strahd, and then guides captain Anomander to retrieve his fallen companions. Ulfgeir and Haurchefant are found alive, but Ayrin's injuries were too grievous, and his corpse floats cold and motionless in the void.

The surviving Heroes appeal to Abdul, the Curse of Strahd's navigator and a powerful priest of Thoth, to perform a raise dead spell. After due payment, the priest agrees and Ayrin is brought back to life. With neither a ship nor a crew of their own left, the Heroes return to the Rock of Bral to ponder on what to do next.
