The Deep Ether Campaign/Session 2

The party explored the half-disc some more, discovered that the golems had been built or modified by dwarves around the time of the Episurian Genocide. A more recent round of modifications suggested a Saldanese academic presence, probably in the last 20 years and most likely under the auspices of a secret ATC expedition. The party's investigation was interrupted by a swarm of Umbrans from the underside of the disk, apparently kept at bay by the blinding of effect of Hrymn's (now absent) presence in the Panopticon.
While escaping, the crew spotted an array of dwarven artillery pieces on the underside of the disk. Naturally, the party formed an away team to reclaim the largest gun. Landing under psionic/etheric screens from Naga Dundee and Banshee, the party set about readying the cannon for extraction by the Taigun. Inevitably, the Umbrans detected the party. In the ensuing chaos, Notan fell from the top of the gun. The 40ft drop pulverized the Umbran that had tackled her, and it left Notan with permanent dexterity damage. Despite this setback, the cannon was extracted and the Taigun safely left the disk.
After a rendezvous with the main fleet, the expedition leaders concluded that a lost world lay some weeks ahead of the fleet and, quite probably, was the gateway to Banshee's father's domain (and thus to contact with the Naga). En-route to the lost world, the Taigun investigated the haunting songs of deep ether whales, finding a pod with a wounded and possibly maddened member and on a trajectory to the lost world. The Taigun returned to the fleet when the whales became aggressive. So the fleet pressed on, faster than the whales, to get to the lost world and (ideally) establish a base and find Banshee's father.
