The mission is to seek out an asteroid in the Grinder where an enclave of Orcus' worshippers have established a temple and base. The problem is, there is no breatheable air, so only those without the need to breathe can attack. At the request of Hades and Wee Jas, enter the Shadow Knights...!
Tandris, Domar, Semi, and Thera animate four zombie corpses while they are joined by a skotos from Hades to protect his cleric. Thera commands all of the zombies into service and the group begins exploring the ship. They must get the vessel to slow down in order for the rest of the party who cannot simply animate available corpses to be able to join them. The party reaches the forward ballista where they battle a pair of undead umber hulks and a strange demon. The confusion power of the undead proves quite a drain to Domar, but the heroes ultimate vanquish them and drive off the badly-wounded demon, although not before Tandris can probe its mind to have an idea of the vampire-mage the heroes will have to defeat. And during the battle, the skotos even locates the vampires coffin...which the umber hulk zombie destroys for him!
After searching the vampire arrive with several juju zombies and the demon. A meteor smashes into Thera, revealing to the other half of the party where the action is. Since the vampire left his "helm" he slowed down his spell-jamming hammership. This allowed the anunaki "dark angel" Alal to fly on flaming wings with Tyris=Flare, Moonleaf, and Amora to join the battle.
Alal cuts a swath through the juju zombies using his flaming sword. Tyris=Flare jumps on the vampire with the skotos. The Grecian spirit, however, is slain. Domar takes its place and together he and Tyris=Flare the Grateful Dead manage to drop the vampire. Once it falls, Moonleaf takes a table leg and (amazingly) manages to spike it through the heart. The demon flees but the heroes ultimately take command of the vessel and slay it.
Current Status:
Thera: 4 of 46, cast aid
Domar: 20 of 41, broken left arm
Semi: 3 of 15
Tandris: 23 (full), PSPs 44 of 74
