Not having heard anything, Vanizi follows the others. When they finally find the halfling she listens as the others greet her.  "What exactly got you into the cell?" she asks as Davis heads down.  In a lowered voice she says to whoever is at hand, "Maybe we should ask Figaro about this woman." 

Davis senses that this woman is more than the halfling she appears to be - she is, in fact, a celestial being!

In answer to the questions about why she is in the cell, she responds, "Well, I was put here because I realized that Ilren is not what he seems - he is a death slaad disguised as a giff! Slaads are aberrations that relish the suffering of others, so I knew that I had to do something to stop him! But when I tried to speak with Figaro about Ilren, he did nothing! I suspect Ilren magically manipulated Figaro’s mind. I tried to confront Ilren on my own, but the death slaad overpowered me. I don’t know why he kept me alive, and I'm definitely not keen on finding out why. Please - let me out and help me thwart Ilren." 

It takes a DC15 Sleight of Hand check with thieves' tools to pick the lock and open the cell. Alternatively, you can use a barbarian key and make a DC18 Athletics check to wrest open the door =)

"Oh my, that is awful," Vesta says in response to Cirit's story. "Ilren came off as rude but to think he's actually a death slaad in disguise?"

Vesta pauses for a moment to consider something. "Do you think he hurt the captain, the real captain I mean? Or wrecked the ship on purpose?"

The sorceress isn't proficient with picking locks so she turns to Zyl. "Zyl, can you try forcing the door open? Maybe Davis or Vanizi can help. I'm afraid I don't have much upper body strength."

"Oh wow you are an angel that is so cool! No wonder you're so pretty! Oh yeah okay we can try and open the door okay? Okay here we go!" Zyl grabs a hold of the door and tries to get it open.

Athletics: 6

Zyl can't seem to find a good grip on the door...(if people want, she could rage to get advantage or if someone wanted to help! lol poor zyl)

Davis says "Here, help me Zyl, grab the bottom, I'll grab the top."

Athletics 25

"It's an honor to meet you. What is your name, I am Davis, these are my friends. I say we go confront Ilren together" and  he looks at the others to see if they are in agreement.

"Do you need any food or healing?"

"Thank you for freeing me! I'm not an angel, I'm a coatl, but I find this shape to be useful when travelling with others. We can go confront Ilren now - I don't require any food or healing." Cirit starts to lead the group to Ilren's cabin and confront him, making sure all are following...

"This all sounds very odd," Vanizi. "But I suppose we can speak with the captain and see what this is all about." She follows if the rest of the party is going. 

Lyrena follows silently.

Vesta nods and follows Cirit back toward Ilren's cabin. "Can you tell us more about death slaads? Do you think Ilren will try to fight us when we confront him?"

Cirit answers Vesta's question. "Death slaadi are suffused with energy from the Negative Energy Plane and exemplify evil’s corruption of chaos. They take sadistic pleasure in bringing harm to others. He was the reason that cloaker terrorized the wreck’s survivors - because he revels in suffering! So yes, I imagine that it will fight us...be ready!" The halfling-looking coatl continues to lead the party up to the main deck in order to confront Ilren. (You have 1 round to prepare unless you can convince Cirit to stop for a few moments longer...)

Zyl is totally ready to throw down with anything! She'll rage if allowed before they run in though.

Vanizi continues along with the others, not trying to stop Cirit.

Davis will not stop Cirit and will cast Haste on himself right before we enter Ilren's room.

"Zyl, would you like to be even bigger to fight Ilren?" Vesta asks the fairy. "I can make you temporarily bigger and stronger."

If Zyl agrees, Vesta will use the Wand of Wonder to cast Enlarge/Reduce on Zyl to make her bigger!

"Even bigger!? Cause I can get pretty big already you know!" Zyl smiles though and will take it if Vesta insists.

(Note: Zyl's rage makes her giant sized)

The party makes a couple of preparations as they follow Cirit to Ilren's cabin and the probable battle to rid the Lambent Zenith of the death slaad once and for all! on the main deck, the halfling-shaped couatl doesn't even stop at the door to Ilren's cabin - she just shoves it open and yells at the giff-shaped slaad, "I have seen your true nature, death slaad, and I am here to defeat you for good!" She begins casting a spell...
