Nicolai vivisects the last remaining reaver with his Glaive but now a another one leaps onto the deck. This one has a second small head growing out of its left shoulder that yells out "do your job hit the big fat one!" The reaver moves towards Ozzy who blasts the small head into oblivion but the reaver keeps on coming.
As Dimbo sizes up the scene an arrow from the aft castle of the ship comes out of nowhere and spears into the reaver but it is insufficient to stop it and it continues to threaten Ozzy.
"Well that happened."Dimbo commented upon noting the spear. Saving the rest of the commentary that begun bubbling into mind, Dimbo took what looked like a deep breathe before spitting up some of the residual acidic compound brewed with his being on the rushing reaver before trying to make himself a little more scarce in manuevering to the opposite side of the ship of the twin-headed "lunatic".
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Slime Time at any reaver within 5ft of another(if possible). Dex Save(DC 14) or take 3 Acid Damage.
Movement: Opposite end of the ship from the last Reaver(or as much as possible, if not in risk of an Aoo)

Reaver save = 17
The reaver attacking Ozzy just manages to dodge Dimbo's glob of acid. As Zalacious grabs the rope and swing towards the reaver another reaver - with a large blue horn sticking out of its forehead - leaps down between the two. Zalacious neatly changes direction and spears his rapier into the creature's eye dropping it to the deck.
Cero continues to remain frozen to the deck.
Naidana - you're up
Shea - you're on deck
Suddenly another reaver, also with a large blue horn in its forehead - possibly a brother of the one Zalacious just killed - leaps down onto the deck.
Naidania sees another reaver with large blue horn leaps onto the desk. She moves to within 60ft of the enemy and casts Faerie Fire on him. (DEX DC 13)

As the reaver sets foot on the deck, Shean-Tuck jumps towards him, rapier before him and tries to open the reaver's gut. "Let's see if you are as ugly inside as you are outside!"
There are now two reavers on the deck both of which are glowing as a result of Naidana's Faerie Fire. While Shean does indeed stab the reaver in the gut it is insufficient to drop the reaver.

Vargach:
Leaping towards the injured Reaver, Vargach swings his Bronto-Bone Yklwa at the creature’s neck. If it goes down, Vargach continues his movement to engage the last foe, protecting the others from a counterattack.

As Vargach swings his Bronto-Bone Yklwa at the creature’s neck it goes down and suddenly a thunderous explosion shakes the ship, filling the air with splinters of wood. Bodies are hurled into Wildspace—and then everything stops. Wreckage hangs motionless. Reavers freeze in the middle of their attacks. Even the stars stop twinkling.
The illusion of Wildspace melts away, and the party finds themselves in a now completely empty chamber. A hulking figure emerges from the center of the explosion: a hadozee with a missing wing flap wearing a military uniform bristling with medals. The air around her smells like cigar smoke.“As you can see,”the figure growls, “the battle of H’Catha didn’t go so well for Captain Sardax and her crew. But her last battle makes a good testing ground for new recruits. End simulation!”Following just behind her is the Master Chief “righto cadets listen to whatever she says, Spelljammer captains of all shapes and sizes listen to her. Even I” he says with a wink at the Hadozee “have been known on the odd occasion to listen to her!”
The Hadozee hands out several copies of the following map to all of the characters.
“Before Last Post tonight I expect you to have completed the following tasks: one – collect your welcome packs from administration two – report to quarters for bunk assignment three – report to the sky dock for a spelljamming ship inspection four aay – corp cadets to collect service weaponry from Mr Blip in stores four bee – spelljamming cadets to report to spelljammer nexus for basic training five – all cadets to have completed the gymnasium assault course. You’ll see from the maps where you can go and where you can’t. Now get cracking! Oh and will somebody take that useless piece of junk”pointing to Cero who is still frozen “with you?”
When the explosion shakes the ship Shean tries to reach for Cero trying to stop him to go floating into the space. But then the simulation stops. He looks around, confused and finally he sighs and looks around with marvel hoping to test that magic simulations once more.
He then looks at the map and nods to the Hadozee.
"Sir, yes sir"he says and before she or the Chef can reply he motions to Vargach to help him with Cero.
"Do you think they will allow us to keep our bunk mates?" he asks while they were walking towards administration.
"By the way you all made it great in that fight! I must study that battle, battle of H'Catha she said right? yeah... I must study it and see what go wrong, so we can anticipate to such a situation if the need arises... oh and we got a ship inspection today!"
"Frickin illusions and fake outs!" Zalacious Krumb shouts. "I knew it! I so totally knew it!"
"Now... Now is the time to get payback on those chumps who kidnapped me and held me captive aboard the ship, my mind was saying! Kill the Master Chief now in the chaos... But nooo, I was too smart for that! I knew! I knew this was all..."
Zalacious pauses and looks around. "Errr, I mean... So glad that was just an illusion! We're all safe and one big happy family now, no? Yes!"
"Now, who gives me my officer pips and shows me to my room?"
"Thought I felt something a bit funny." Dimbo couldn't help but mutter happily underbreathe once the ruse came undone. Though he'd promptly clamp up and even shape up his form into a cartoonishly well-muscled and at attention figure if looked at too closely in the moment. Thankfully or more than likely, Zalactious outburst is plenty enough cover to perhaps not need to in the heat of the moment. But speaking of which, it had drawn a raised brow from the Plasmoid before Zal's backing up on his claims set at least his mind at ease.
"'fraid it doesn't quite work like that, my fine furred friend, as we're still Cadets! But don't you worry-..."Dimbo tries to wrap a psuedopod around Zalacious shoulder. And if she happened to be close enough as well, he'd try to rope Naidania into a half-hug with another arm. "'ol Dimbo here has you covered." He further assured and tried to gentle corral Zal(and by happenstance Nadania as well) away from the Master Chief and unnamed(?) Hadozee leader before Zal got into trouble. As the group is in general moving along(hopefully with resident Giff or Lizardfolk seeing to Cero) for the admin receptionist, he went on to say, "You didn't do so bad out there yourself, Sean! Though maybe slow the roll a bit there, eh? 'cause there'll be plenty of time for everything I'm sure."
"Yeah.. but why waste it here in the Academy when we could be out there among the stars!! My plan is to get as much as I can from the Academy and get my own ship... and I plan to take you all with me!!"he says optimistic.
Still surging with the adrenaline of battle, Vargach loses his balance and almost falls when the world around him suddenly changes! Taking off the strange helmet that seems to have altered his perceptions, the lizardman numbly goes along with Shean's instructions. When given the array of instructions and a fairly complicated map, he hopefully asks as he supports the frozen Cero with one arm and juggles the map with the other hand, "Taskssssss....Together?"

As the simulation came to an abrupt end Nicolae brought the point of the glaive up, planting the end down on the deck and listened intently to the words of the Chief. Anyone who looked at him would see that he wasn't breathing hard despite having run forward and cut two of the reavers down. In fact, looking closely, you weren't even sure he was breathing.
"Got it Chief!" he called.
Looking around at the others. "I'm headed to quarters for my bunk assignment to drop off gear and unload. Then I'm headed past stores to get my service weaponry and then to admin for my welcome packet. On my way to the gymnasium I can drop what I don't need in my quarters and then head to the gymnasium for the assault course. Then up to the Nexus for basic training and then to the sky dock for spelljamming ship inspection."
With that said he headed off to get the list done.
"Yeah"nods Shean to Vargach and kind of stops Nicolae "We should do this thing together... Let's follow the instructions and get the welcome pack first, this way we could leave what we don't need at our bunks when assigned..."suggests
At the end of the session Naidania removes her globe, and confirms her logical deduction. It was all an illusion, a very realistic at that. “Very impressive.” She says to herself. When the Hadozee hands out the map, she stands at attention to receive it. “Thank you, sir.”
Suddenly Naidania feels something wrapping around her shoulder, her first instinct is to react harshly to it, but she calms herself down, telling herself there has to be a logical explanation for this. She realizes that it is the Plasmoid. She deduces that Dimbo is trying to keep the Hadozee from getting himself into trouble, but she doesn’t understand why is she being dragged closer to the one she has been trying to create a mental block to his chattering. After that, she follows the group to complete their tasks.
She makes a mental note to herself that if given a chance, she would like to visit the spell library in the Bridge Quarters.

Zalacious follows Shean and Nicolae as they seem to most know what they're all supposed to be doing and Zalacious, of course, paid no attention. Zelacious is a bit "Hey now!" when Dimbo starts putting a "What is this anyway? An arm? It better be more an arm than a..." but he relaxes about it once he realizes that Dimbo isn't as gloopy and slimy and moist as he appeared to the Hadozee on first looks.
"Did they mention when we get paid?" Zelacious asks to everyone in generally as he follows along. "We are getting paid, yes? And food. And free food! I am not paying for food with the pay that they pay me... We should be getting hazard pay, I tells you. Illusion or not, I was hazarded! My heart shouldn't be put through those kinds of shocks and scares! And that helmet? That flattened my hair right out! I mean c'mon, a guy has to look good and a helmet is not a fashion accessory, am I right or am I right?"
"I'm right..." Zelacious says a few moments later when nobody else bothers to answer his prattle.
"Yeah"nods Shean to Vargach and kind of stops Nicolae "We should do this thing together... Let's follow the instructions and get the welcome pack first, this way we could leave what we don't need at our bunks when assigned..."suggests
"We'll I'll be going past the bunks twice. I just don't want to climb anymore stairs back and forth and up and down than absolutelynecessary.." He then grins, "I might get winded."

Zalacious cries out “Avast!!” while cutting a rope. He then jumps, grabbing said rope with foot and hand and swinging towards the remaining reaver…
Dex Save? To see if ripe Carrie’s him anywhere near reaver (in game log): 16
Hopefully swinging close enough, Zelacious swing out with his rapier giving it his best pirate flair!
Attack: 17 Damage: 12
“Yo Ho, Ho! It’s a pirates life for me!” He sings out…
