Havard

As the original captain of the AES Unyielding, Havard spent most of his time in his cabin, only emerging to "discipline" the crew. He handpicked both Hilde (first selection of sailors) and Gaela (second round of sailors), but they are the only remaining members of the original crew. After Gaela was appointed Quartermaster, Havard withdrew himself from the selection process and left it in the hands of the Warforged officer.

### Murders and Potential Sacrifices

Not much is known about why Havard killed members of his own crew, or whether it was him behind the disappearance of people whenever they docked at Chapel, but these are the few facts we have so far:

* Havard publicly executed KT after she started protesting Gaela's decision to let Sandy be carried overboard by the crabs (and not attempt a rescue)
	+ **(Follow up)** Ask Gaela if Havard had singled Sandy and KT out ahead of time

* Havard warned Gaela to stay in his quarters during the night at Chapel, and not to warn the crew
* Slate and Kyris went missing during this time
* Reggie was able to determine that they were not on the island of Chapel or the ship - at least, alive
* We found no evidence that the priests of Stone had done anything other than inspect the ship
* Havard attempted to execute Mist on the main deck before he was stopped by Hilde
* Havard turned on Hilde and was going to execute the both of them before the mutiny began in earnest
* Hans discovered a sheet of paper that contained a long list of crew names; notable on that list were Sandy, KT, Slate, and Kyris. It appears to be a list of people who have died on the crew.

In addition, Hans was able to locate the following two documents of Havard's:

#### List of Sailors

*Berrand; Fallon; Marie; G’sor; Gust; Brie; Rend; Camille; KT; Kyris; Slate*

**As per Gaela and Hilde:**

**Berrand** (???): Neither remembered this name.

**Fallon** (???): Neither remembered this name.

**Marie** (???): Neither remembered this name.

**G'sor** (???): Before Gaela or Hilde's time, though the name was still on old records that Gaela saw. Gaela believed that they did government-related work for Anterrande or Kalduun.

**Gust** (Maybe left in Chapel): An Air Genasi that left when Hilde was still new, before Gaela's time.

**Brie** (Vanished at Chapel): Gaela recalled that the crew was shocked when this elf went missing, but the Captain had ordered them to sail out without searching, which they did.

Rend (Left in Chapel): Rend was an Anterrande citizen brought aboard for only a short time before being left in Chapel for, as Havard had put it, "official government business we aren't paid to know." Nothing else is remembered about the unremarkable Rend.

**Camille** (Left in Chapel): Was a problematic human who spoke back to Havard a lot and caused trouble.

**KT** (Killed near Altonshire): Was murdered by Havard on the top deck in front of the crew, protesting Sandy's death

**Kyris** (Vanished at Chapel): Went missing during the night the crew stayed at Chapel

**Slate** (Vanished at Chapel): Went missing during the night the crew stayed at Chapel

**An awful lot of people leave at Chapel. We have some lines of inquiry to follow up on when we get back there.**

#### Gibberish Note

*Written in a gibberish script. Perhaps you'd like to investigate it closer?*
Upon trying to read it, the edges of your vision fade to green.

These are commandments that demand the destruction of the unworthy. Only a few words can be made out, making their pronunciation clear in your mind, though not their meaning: *‘ai’bthnk; f’thtagn; lloig; gibbeth; n’ghft*. You feel a flash of rage and impatience well up inside you, and you smell the rot of inadequacy coming from the rest of the crew. As you tear your eyes away, the feeling passes, and you begin to breathe again, your heart beating quickly. There's more to this, that's for certain, but it doesn't seem to be for you.

Both Xylis and Gaela were able to read the rest of the note to varying effect; both individually confirmed the star radiated a will to destroy and a feeling of being pulled inside it as they continued to read. Xylis was exhausted by the experience while Gaela simply seemed, in characteristic Gaela fashion, annoyed - though perhaps that's due to his rude awakening...

### Arcane Involvement

While Havard did not hold the outward appearance of an arcanist, he was either a relatively powerful one or knew someone who was. Evidence of this is as follows:

* A series of red runic glyphs running down the side of Havard's face allowed him to direct crew members to attack allies, or stay their hand against him (unless a successful Wisdom Save was made)
* These glyphs were not visible until one passed the saving throw
* A magic circle was set up in the captain's quarters that allowed the rudder to be controlled from there
	+ **(Follow up)** Ask Gaela, as he had been in there before, if he remembered the circle being there from the time he was first brought aboard or if it was a newer addition to the ship
		- **(Response)** Neither Gaela nor Hesken had been aware of the sigil that controled the rudder

* Hans discovered a scroll of *Control Weather* in Havard's safe

### Connection to the Green Star

Havard had at least one dream that we know of, and was able to pen a directive from the Green Star before his death, so it's likely he experienced several dreams instead of the singular instance he mentioned to Hesken.

### Misc.
