They were able to reforge their Icon of Apet which now charged with Air elemental energy could be used to repair the Coaltongue so they headed back to the Coaltongue via Avilona.On Avilona they found the dying Eagle god , and considered trying to ressurect it but decided that was beyond the reach of their magic. They spent some time trying to work out what broke Avilona and flight on Lanjyr and it was not clear if it was the death of the bird, Kasavarina's failed experiment or the breaking of the Pillars on Axis island or if  they were interlinked, no conclusion could be reached and they had no intention of using Avilona anyway as if they did they would be dodging Pembertons assassins for the rest of their lives.The Coaltongue was repaired and taken out on a test flight to Ascetia, with the plan of swinging back via Gloriana to get some troops and more guns before crushing the pirates of Hunslow with an aerial assault. They did remember the lantern they had secured from the train and after breif regrets they could not get an elemental link from Padyer to try and set Hunslow on fire, they decided to fill it with oil infused with the Icon from Amrou and use the planar energy of that link to protect the Coaltongue and its crew from Hunslow.  The divergence to Ascetia was GM Influenced otherwise they would probably have dealt with Mavisha/Shaboath and the pirates before heading North but scheduling issues for with players meant I wanted them to get to Ascetia this week not in the next two weeks.Ascetia puzzled them  they nearly attacked William Miller but he talked fast enough that they decided to give him a chance to prove he was not Nic. They concluded he was not and learned of the mirrored nature his and their presence in this world, which also to them explained why it seemed Ashima-Shimtu was different here. William persuaded Nevla to go and visit the grave of Ssramma not telling her why but persuading her to go on her own, she asked Ashima-shimtu to accompany her but she declined as she could sense she would be intruding on the tomb of a god and would not be welcome. Nevla met herself or at least an earlier self ,and told the story of events since the Great Malice, and was confronted with a choice to guide Ssramma;s last action. She did work out there was a third choice but neither vengeance or power interested her it took almost no time to decide to return the Eladrin women to life, I never had any doubt ehat the choice would be for these characters and this campaign. They returned to talking to William and Nevla found him as frustrating as his twin. While they liked his philosophy more and found him less objectionable she could not stand his refusal to commit to acting to stop his other self, the others were more understanding but all of them wanted him to take a stand and act but he demurred pointing out that every time he had acted in his past and in his other self's life he had just made things worse.As the convesation wound down I switched to their mirror selves back on Lanjur with their crashed ship and the return of Pemberton in a fashionable eyepatch. They talked about events since they had left and were dismayed that they had been gone a year and that the Ob had managed controlled hive minds to take over everyone. They were more annoyed when they realised that a fight with Harkover was likely and that Manuel had built him a Steam Battle suit which they now would have to fight as he said it seemed like a good idea at the time. Nevla noticed that of their crew who had been mirrorred only Ashima-Shimtu was msissing. Then Nic arrived with his team and taunted them, they shouted back and after getting the point he had a plan being put forward that very day but would not share details with them violence was about to start , however there was no time for that. Instead we returned to the Gyre for more discussion and I will move the fight to their next crossover moment.They did come up with a clever plan to deal with Nic for good, if one picks up a trap the soul item made for you there is no saving throw so they tried to work out how to get him to accept something from them , and came up with a plan. Padme will use her sleight of hand skills to slip it into his smoking pouch so when he instincivly lights up , Poof he is trapped. Then they plan to trap him in an indestructible but none combat golem with a Nicodemus leaf farm and a bunch of philosophy books to see if they can reform him enough so he accepts death.Next week Aerial assault on Pirates</blockquote>
