Turning to his accusers. "I did no such thing! The Light saved us all. I called upon the power of St. Sethia, Sky Duchess of Elysium to hold the waves that threatened to send us to the bottom of the sea at bay. I believe the Priest and Paladin of the Light will corroborate my story."

Finnian sheathes his rapier as he refocuses on his companions. At Bertrand's statement, he turns to head back to the top deck sharing his suppositions with the others.
"So much for a nice quiet voyage. Something very sinister is here on this ship. The demon we just faced is not one that would show up for a novice summoner if it is what I think it might have been.
"I believe the demon we just faced was something called a 'Deathblight'. They are, as a type, extremely powerful demons on a par with some of the lesser lords and princes. They are officers, warleaders, and strategists of the demon realms. The rituals to summon one are not easy or widely known which is why I could not recognize the specifics in the other room. Its promise to remember us is not a good thing for us at all.
"The other problem we have is that whoever summoned it is still at large aboard ship. We have some very dangerous folk who now know we are strong enough and inclined to oppose them if they don't remove us first."

Anniston remembers seeing three "lumps" near the demon before it disappeared. He will investigate to see if these lumps remain before heading back up with the rest of the group.

Anniston moves to check out the lumps and finds they are hooded black robes made of a strangely weaved materail that appears to be very course. Trooping up the stairs the group soon reaches the main deck where the spot Jaroth surronded by numeous saliors and passagners...some of which appear to be heavily armed
With his declaration of innonence Jaroth manages to quite most of the concerns of the outraged passangers and sailos....though several comments such as "best take no chances...feed him to the fishes" ...and "demon spawn" can be heard muttering in the bagground. Turing he does see the party emerge from the decks below.

"For now," says Vadric, his voice cold as he looks around in the faces of the mob surrounding Jaroth. His voice taking on the sharp tone of command, he speaks to the crowd. "What is the meaning of this? This man is blessed of the Light, and has saved this ship from certain doom. Disperse at once."

One of the passangers responds to Vadric's tone...."You forget yourself as a memeber of the light...the man stands accused of wielding magic...by the cannons of light the burden of proof is upon him to prove his gift if light born...or do YOU become his champion, the champion of one seen to be wielding MAGIC...... pausing for a moment...the passagner adds "What say you captain...it was your crew members that first accused him of wielding foul magicss for all to see...." In response the captain appears to be in a very uncomfortable position.......the passanger is one of the individuals who the party fist ran into at the luncheon aboard ship who left in a huff when the topic of conversation changed to the old religion etc...

Vadric's expression does not change at the passenger's challenge. "I have already questioned this man's faith," says Vadric, pointing at Jaroth. "and he has proven to me his service to the Light. Who are you, traveller, to dispute my findings? Are you blessed by the Light, or are you an servant of chaos, seeking to challenge me and my faith? Do you presume to tell me, a priest of the Light in good standing, the true meaning of our doctrine?"
Vadric changes his gaze, to look upon the Captain. His voice is cold and steady as he speaks. "Captain, your vessel has become the centerpiece in a web of dark, demonic summonings...EVERYONE on board is now a suspect. I WILL interview these people, and determine who is the servant of Darkness here. You will acknowledge my authority in these matters, or I promise you that the Inquisitors will be paying you a visit upon our return to port." The tone of Vadric's voice brokes no defiance...he speaks with the tone of command that only years and years of service to the Light could bring to him.
