### **Recap**

"*Our heroes have begun the final step of their journey across the Astral Sea to return home. Having met strange new allies, as well as making powerful new enemies, the group aim to return home to Aerois. There are some quiet moments during the travel, as Nova speaks with Captain Thalia, and with Quill, attempts to undo her medusa transformation, to no avail. Thalia reveals that her past isn't quite what Nova may think, and that she hasn't always been a very good person in her life. During the evenings, Aila comforts a distraught Rethra, a fellow wild elf she saved from forced labour. It's clear that years as a gladiator have traumatised him, and Aila spends the nights telling him all about Aerois and her people. One of the final barriers is the stretch of the Astral Sea known as the Shifting Straits, a massive labyrinth of ice and rock that moves chaotically. The crew worked together to navigate the deadly maze, as the ship begins to malfunction in strange ways, and Quill notices something amongst the ice, moving with them. A distress call from a Valkyrian empire ship is cut off abruptly, and soon the team realise why: a collossal creature made from frost and starlight roams the Shifting Straits, numerous wrecked Valkyrian ships encrusted within its icy armour, and more left floating in a ship graveyard at the heart of the Shifting Straits. The party notices what they believe to be the presence of Hadar coming from one of the crashed ships on the giant creature's body, and Nova senses another shard of her Hexblade weapon Tiangong within as well. With a dramatic landing and battle against ice elementals, the party manage to make their way inside the crashed ship, and find only darkness.*"
