## Synopsis

Mikey awakens inside a barrel and goes ballistic. He bursts out and looks around. He spots Orville at the wheel and Thomas at the head. He decides to go speak with Thomas. Dawkins catches him up not only on what they are currently doing but how they got off Booker Dread’s Cove. He then asks Mikey why he saved him. Mikey admits he can’t lose anyone else. Dex and Sahge are on their way to “deal with” the savage hadozee. They spot one and trail it back to a large Zita farm. Dex convinces Sahge to go into the clearing and distract a few while Dex sneaks in to find their leader, hoping to strike a deal. As he’s is moving forward, he realizes that the fruit are an intoxicant and he decides to just dig in. It’s a bad trip. The highest he’s ever been. While he’s having his adventure, he is surrounded. Back with the party, the sun is rising and Mikey notices the ship is heading directly towards the mainland at an alarming pace. Mikey tries to warn Orville but they slam into the beach. They can’t get back into the water so They leave the children to watch the boat while they head to the nearby port for either repair supplies or a new boat.

Dex awakens chained up to a tree. Sitting before him is the leader of the rebellion, Mr. Doda. Dex immediately convinces him to help him fight ghosts because of course the drug lord would trust a complete stranger, but only if Dex replaces the product he stole. They make a deal. The party arrives at Moto port to find anything to fix the boat but soon realize material is scarce. Orville suggests just stealing a boat so they do.

They get ready to set sail again but Tamaa reminds them her children are still at the wreck so Chiens asks Mikey to go back for them. He doesn’t agree that it’s important right now so she goes back alone, promising to catch up. They now have the issue of being short one body for the boat to sail so Orville resurrects a Darfellan to help them. His name is Shimo and he is just a happy to be alive. Orville also casts duplicity just to be safe. Dex and Doda have struck a deal but Sahge arrives with Jikelele and a small army and the last Montgomery immediately rats Dex out for siding with “the enemy”. Jikelele is not happy with the botched arrangement and demands justice for his daughter. Dex notices Sahge react to that gesture and blames him for her death which in turn directs the soldiers at Sahge instead of his new friends. Dex, Doda, and the other rebels get away, build a ship, a leave the island in a matter of hours. The party get about an hour south before they have to stop again because Orville is insane and spots a giant flaming bird flying above. Using his infinite knowledge, he manages to not only piss of the Vrock but the other two sun gods as well and the team is assaulted. Mikey and Shimo abandon ship because that is not a fight they want to deal with and Mikey also drags one-armed Thomas away from the battle. Orville as the paladin manages to convince one of the monsters to be a friend and gets on it’s back. He asks it to bring him to Booker Dread so it takes off, leaving Tamaa to deal with the other two.

Dex and the Hadozee have been circling Abasho’Kobezi for a few hours. Turns out none of them have any idea what they are doing. Dex tells Doda to sit still and he’ll be back shortly. He goes back to the island on foot and heads to the throne room to loot because he lives dangerously. He finds a log of the “royal” families but nothing really sticks out except the mention of Sonney and that Okubi was the last of his line. He is spotted by the new general, Okusha, but he avoids a fight by convincing him he’s still on their side. He heads back to the ship where Doda demands he replace the drugs immediately. He tells him he’s gonna go get it now and jumps off the ship, lighting it on fire with flames of the void, and killing them all. Successful mission. He gets into his apparatus and finds Sahge hiding within. He gets back out, locks the hatch and watches it sink to the ocean floor. He begins to sprint towards Bhumi because it’s faster than swimming. Meanwhile, Tamaa kills the remaining Vrock, destroying two suns above the island, Mikey, Thomas, and Shimo are heading south on the coast of Benki, and Orville is brought to an unmarked location in open water. He tries to remind the bird that he asked to be brought to Booker Dread. The Vrock suggests they have arrived so Orville dives underneath. He finds a shipwreck of what appears to be the Grimoire so he heads into the captain’s quarters to find the body of Booker Dread. He looks nothing like the Ghost they know of so his suspicions go wild. He grabs a few knickknacks and swims back up to find the ghost ship hovering above, waiting for him.
