The exploration of the Parapraxis continues.
They find a trophy room with hunting weapons and stuffed beasts - a cockatrice, owlbear, aurumvorax, and displacer beast. The beasts come to life, and the party give battle! They survive with much treasure, a golden axe, and Fated silver arrows which reveal the target they are destined to hit when you gaze into their mirrored tips.
They return to the aft to destroy the elementals. Rhea is injured, and Erebos accidentally transforms into a bowl of petunias twice during the encounter.
They descend into the lower sections of the ship, passing through wrecked and barricaded areas previously occupied by white apes. The ship is split across a jungle chasm, spanned by a crude rope bridge. On the far side stands a makeshift throne constructed from broken furniture, on which sits the leader of the apes.
When they are ambushed by four of the four-armed white apes, and Erebos immediately turns himself invisible. Having slain the ape king, and wounded and loaded with treasure, they return to Bar Saturn. They don’t notice that Garviel’s pet is missing.
Meanwhile an odd being, a clockwork orb with a single eye and spindly limbs explores the ship, lost and confused. This entity is a Modron, a creature of pure law summoned by a stray spell of Caenn’s. Saturn, the one-eyed, birdlike creature, embodiment of pure truth, flutters down to perch on its hand, the lone eyes regarding one another with curiosity.
At this point we were experimenting with a rule that gave Wizards a chance to cast additional spells with a risk of failure, and a d100 table for spells backfiring - so the party’s wizards briefly conjured chaotic effects like the bowl of petunias (later to be codified as the Hortus Metamorphus spell) and this poor creature.
