To Hoid "Brother, if you are still willing to go through the portal, i am as well. i can provide us Tyr's Blessing to help protect us and also cure any afflictions, poison, disease, we may encounter from the other side."
"Chadwick, are you willing to enter the portal as well?"
Kragen prepares to enter the portal.
If Hoid and Chadwick agrees (or others), he will cast Bless before doing so.
A couple of options are sending the monkey or I can send a Fey through. If you want a human to go first, I volunteer. But let's get things moving. The tree is suffering, and there is evil that must be destroyed!

"Chadwick, are you willing to enter the portal as well?"
Kragen prepares to enter the portal.
If Hoid and Chadwick agrees (or others), he will cast Bless before doing so.
"Yep, just going to step through a mysterious portal to gods knows where while flying through space on magic ship. Never a dull moment with you friends. " Chadwick says then steps through the portal chuckling with his Lucien hammer at the ready.
Starker: “I am happy to send Cyrus through, though I suspect that I will not be able to see through his eyes as the effective distance will be too great.
”Cyrus, please go through the portal, look around, and indicate whether there are enemies on the other side out of view. Please breathe deeply and smell carefully and indicate if the air is healthy for we mammals. Regardless, come back in a couple of minutes. I have a lovely dried mango slice waiting for you on your return!”
Cyrus the MMM hops through the portal. You see him through the portal briefly as he walks about and then disappears from view. After what feels like an extended period of time. He shows up in view again and hops through to your side of the portal. All seems normal and he looks up to Starker in anticipation of a slice of mango.
Following CMM's adventure and Starkers report of no concerns, Kragen grabs his vile of Holy Water, muttering a prayer to Tyr, splashes water on Trolkarl, Gnueman, Chadwick and himself.
Bless cast on Trolkarl, Gnueman, Chadwick and Myself.
"Thank you Starker, for putting Cyrus in danger to investigate conditions. I will go through with Trolkarl, Gneuman, Chadwick. Recommend stay here with Hoid and support from this side.", "Oh, just to ensure we didn't miss anything, could you send Cyrus to go investigate the Crew Deck?"
Trolkarl, Gneuman, Chadwick and Kragen step through the portal following the Bless from Kragen. As you remain near the portal, you can see the others on the other side.
Starker shrugs, stands by just on this side of the portal, has Jievs start bringing more oil grenados and GENTLY rolling them through the portal one at a time until the quartet of quixoticism come back. The aim point of this gentle rolling is to have a huge collection of oil filled frangible objects at torch throwing distance on the other side of the portal in case we need to delay pursuers or decide to destroy the mirror fungus/web filled ship. intent is to leave a path a yard or so wide empty of grenados so the fearless four can get back without tripping over any or breaking them. Want spacing such that one broken ones being set on fire will cause sympathetic deflagration wave. (If needed, will use a plank or board as a ramp. Gentleness is key)
“Friend Hoid, would you be so kind as to find some rocks or other throwable objects we could use to smash some of the grenados from this side just before we throw in a lit torch AFTER our friends return. I am NOT saying we are decided upon the throwing of the torch, but it is best to be prepared.”
gets out torch and flint
Meanwhile, Starker carefully examines CM, MMMM to see if there are any physical or behavioral changes post mirror ship visit compared to pre.
Starker has Jievs dig up and bring over some stones, rocks, or other throwables suitable for breaking grenafis from afar.
”Hoid, please let me know if you find they need my help over there. Else, I will stay here and secure this, our only line of retreat. Also, let them know of my fire field contigency plan so they are not surprised or tripped up by the grenados.”
Starker’s boredom and curiousity constructively interfere until he dismisses Jievs, whistles Cyrus into his shoulder. Starker gets two nonflammable plates or bowls from the galley are. starker cuts two six inch lengths of twine, sets one end of each on fire simultaneously, puts one each on/in a plate/bowl, leaves one on deck such that twine can be seen from portal, steps through portal, and watches to see if it takes a different amount of time for the twine to burn on the different sides of the portal.
when the experiment is complete he heads off in the direction Hoid went.
The breathable air on the maindeck is almost nonexistent. Recalling Mallinora’s quick teaching on this you guess you have about 1 minute of air each in a personal air bubble.
At the bow of the ship, the sails limp lifelessly, and the atmosphere seems devoid of any breeze or movement. Across the entire deck are the scattered bones of many creatures.
The space around the ship has no light, and no stars or other objects can be seen, save for the constant floating spores featured elsewhere on the ship.
Below the ship is a translucent liquid. The liquid seems to reflect dim images of stars, a healthier looking Living Ship.
Toward the stern the treant is desiccated, withered, and motionless.
To the group "Any ideas on what is afflicting the treant?"
Chadwick "I can cast Revivify, can you still cure disease or poison?", "I can also cast Lesser Restoration right after Revivify to remove poison or disease as well."
To Hoid "Brother, if you are still willing to go through the portal, i am as well. i can provide us Tyr's Blessing to help protect us and also cure any afflictions, poison, disease, we may encounter from the other side."

Gneuman will go through the portal.
through the looking glass
at least it's not a green devil face
"Yep, just going to step through a mysterious portal to gods knows where while flying through space on magic ship. Never a dull moment with you friends. " Chadwick says then steps through the portal chuckling with his Lucien hammer at the ready.
(He waits for Kragen to cast Bless first).
Starker: “I am happy to send Cyrus through, though I suspect that I will not be able to see through his eyes as the effective distance will be too great.

(When Cyrus goes through Starker will try to share his senses, which works within a limited range (100’))
Cyrus the MMM hops through the portal. You see him through the portal briefly as he walks about and then disappears from view. After what feels like an extended period of time. He shows up in view again and hops through to your side of the portal. All seems normal and he looks up to Starker in anticipation of a slice of mango.

Then proceeds to step through the portal.
Starker without gloves on hands Cyrus a unmarked mango sends Cyrus to the crew deck on this side, sharing his senses.
”Friend Hoid, as even as the two of us are we seem to be the odd men out. How should we prepare for when they come running back screaming in terror?”
[did the sense sharing work while Cyrus was on the otherside?]
Trolkarl, Gneuman, Chadwick and Kragen step through the portal following the Bless from Kragen. As you remain near the portal, you can see the others on the other side.
Starker shrugs, stands by just on this side of the portal, has Jievs start bringing more oil grenados and GENTLY rolling them through the portal one at a time until the quartet of quixoticism come back.

Hoid steps through the portal.
Starker has Jievs dig up and bring over some stones, rocks, or other throwables suitable for breaking grenafis from afar.
”Hoid, please let me know if you find they need my help over there. Else, I will stay here and secure this, our only line of retreat. Also, let them know of my fire field contigency plan so they are not surprised or tripped up by the grenados.”
Hoid moves through the portal and then moves out of sight. No apparent ill effect befalls him.
Starker’s boredom and curiousity constructively interfere until he dismisses Jievs, whistles Cyrus into his shoulder. Starker gets two nonflammable plates or bowls from the galley are. starker cuts two six inch lengths of twine, sets one end of each on fire simultaneously, puts one each on/in a plate/bowl, leaves one on deck such that twine can be seen from portal, steps through portal, and watches to see if it takes a different amount of time for the twine to burn on the different sides of the portal.
when the experiment is complete he heads off in the direction Hoid went.
Starker's curiosity is rewarded with the discovery that the twine on each side of the portal......burns at the same rate.
He hears the commotion on the deck above with music and stomping feet sounds coming down the stairwell and ends up following Hoid up the steps.
Through the Portal
Round 5
The breathable air on the maindeck is almost nonexistent. Recalling Mallinora’s quick teaching on this you guess you have about 1 minute of air each in a personal air bubble.
At the bow of the ship, the sails limp lifelessly, and the atmosphere seems devoid of any breeze or movement. Across the entire deck are the scattered bones of many creatures.
The space around the ship has no light, and no stars or other objects can be seen, save for the constant floating spores featured elsewhere on the ship.
Below the ship is a translucent liquid. The liquid seems to reflect dim images of stars, a healthier looking Living Ship.
Toward the stern the treant is desiccated, withered, and motionless.
To the group "Any ideas on what is afflicting the treant?"
Chadwick "I can cast Revivify, can you still cure disease or poison?", "I can also cast Lesser Restoration right after Revivify to remove poison or disease as well."
Chadwick will quickly check the treant for signs of life, but assuming it's personal air was exhausted long ago.
