Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

[Rystil Arden]

*Diedrik leads the way, the ship's interior lit by the glowing coin. He has a choice either to go right which leads to a hallway with a nice door that looks like it could be to the captain's cabin and then eventually to the other set of stairs leading up to the other hatch, or to go straight, which leads to a hallway with some smaller doorways and eventually turns right also into another hallway.*

Diedrik indicates the door to what appears to be the Captain's Quarters, wanting to clear out the shorter path before turning down the longer one.

"The Captain may have recorded something to indicate what happened," he says, then creeps over to the door and checks to see if it's locked.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The Captain's Quarters are unlocked. There are neither people nor corpses in the room, though it does have a bed, a writing table and a small chest that is open and empty. On the writing table is a pen, some paper, and a logbook.*

Yotsu Yuriko, Female Larakese Martial Artist

*Yuriko nodded toward the log book as she entered the room, sword low. She planned on covering anyone in the room, allowing them to explore while she watched for trouble.*

*Diedrik moves over to the logbook. He starts with the most recent entry then goes backwards, looking for clues as to what may have taken place aboard the ship.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The logbook is simply full of shipping information and stops. There isn't much out of the ordinary. The only recent things of note really were that they had taken on a passenger at their last port, they were smuggling a mysterious cargo for an unknown client, and they slammed into debris and had to repair the ship.*

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

*Zaeryn moves up beside Diedrik, reading the logbook as the pages are turned.*

“I wonder what left them in this sorry state then. Most likely a very sudden attack, but perhaps there is more here than appearances suggest...” Zaeryn offers, as he casts another spell.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Zaeryn casts detect magic, taking a look around the captain’s cabin. He’ll continue to concentrate on the spell and use it as they explore the ship, until circumstances force him to stop.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Zaeryn]*Other than gear people who came with him are carrying, Zaeryn does not detect any magic.*[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Zaeryn looks around the room after casting his spell, before remarking, “Hmm, I guess not. Well perhaps we’ll find something of more interest elsewhere. Let’s move on Diedrik, if you’re finished with the logbook.”

 

[Festy_Dog]

Diedrik nodded, there were still plenty of chances to pin down what had happened. In truth finding out what occurred onboard wasn't really crucial to anything Diedrik knew of but while he was here it couldn't hurt to research the base for another tale to tell between jobs.

"The most recent entries mention taking on a passenger, carrying a mysterious cargo and running into debris," he summarizes for the others, before going back out into the hallway containing smaller doorways and approaching the first.
