C2 Ep. 176 Trespass Against Them Chapter One

—Philip

Everyone on board the Four Sails reels at their new predicament; somehow, they've ended up in Dolurrh, with a new angel friend, Claudio. Just as they're trying to sort things out, Bronzebeard's ship appears, ready to attack. They're assaulted by skeletal people, but gain the help of some of Ulfen's old pirate crew—spirits that Erys and Milo summon on accident. Bronzebeard himself finally appears, riding a translucent great white shark.

The smoke from Milo's forehead thickens, and a hand with eyes and chitinous plates reaches out to grab him.

## Synopsis

They're in Dolurrh, flying on the Four Sails. Under the ship is Erys and a celestial that she accidentally summoned. Everyone else, except Reynard, is up on deck—Reynard is sticking his head out of a port hole.

Under the ship, Erys talks to the angel and tries to figure out what's going on. Up on deck, Sana comes out with her ghost tiger mask on. Erys looks around and notices glimpses of transparent, flowing lines that the Four Sails seems to be coasting on; like a magical current. Milo notices the smoke coming out of his scar is less transparent here. A large pirate ship is headed right at them. A flag flies off the mast with a skull with a bronze beard that matches Ulfen's cursed tattoo. Erys rejects Claudio's offer to help her up, and flies on deck. Erys is quick to climb up after them. Milo asks for Claudio's help, and they agree as long as it helps them get out of Dolurrh.

One of the canons that used to be functioning now serves as the host station, with a sign reading "Seat yourself" hanging from it. Erys rips that off and tosses it across the room, and starts working on the canon to get it back into working order.The name of the canon is etched along the side of it, and in messing with it, Erys accidentally summons the spirit of one of the crew who managed the loading on the canon, Duck Plinko. Ulfen warns Duck that Bronzebeard is back, and Duck accepts his new job of loading the canon for Erys.

On the other ship stands a lich-esque figure, with tight, undead skin stretched across a skinny frame, floating above the deck. They have a long staff that they swirl around. The energies of Dolurrh coalesce, and they point it at Milo. A beam of sickly green energy flies at him, hitting the deck right by his feet. The wood rots with necrotic energy.

Duck helps Erys load and fire the canon; the other ships rocks, and Erys reflects.

*"I just shot a ghost ship with a canon."*
Milo takes his wand and spins it around, and a disc of black with a glowing aura around it flies out towards the other ship. Two skeletons on the other ship shatter into bones and go flying off into the depths of Sharn. Jeering and roaring is heard from the other ship, as they prepare to board. Fleagle Twigleaf, another of Ulfen's old crew, appears. Ulfen assigns him to help Duck and Erys with the canons.

A couple of figures fly across the gap to the Four Sails. They're two ghostly looking elves, draped in long-flowing attire. They give a shrieking cry, but thanks to Hob's spell, it doesn't get through to Reynard.

Hob throws a harpoon at one of the elves. The harpoon goes flying through them, but not as effectively as it might have. Another group of skeletal pirates come up from below deck. Three dragoborn with wings of skeleton launch off the other ship, flying to the Four Sails.

Erupting off of the deck, a skeletal figure with what looks like a bronze beard leaps off. He falls, and from the arcane current, a skeletal and translucent great white appears to catch it, and they leap towards the ships. He has a giant, bronze flail that he swings into Ulfen's shoulder.

Arrows from the other ship Milo, and he uses his magic to convert some of that to mental strain instead of physical. He's staggering, and he sees the smoke coming out of his scar begins to swirl and coalesce. A portal opens, and a hand with chitinous plates and eyes all over it reaches through, and it grabs Milo and starts pulling him. He sees a figure, who's whole body is covered in the chitinous plate and eyes.

*"You've been a bad boy."*
End of episode.
