Sana relaxes visibly when Errivel comes back up to deck. She gives him a quick, reassuring smile, but stays silent as she supports the drunk Wolf over to a crate to sit down. After giving Errivel any more healing he needed to get up to full strength, she departs to her cabin, where she spends some time in prayer to Tymora, thanking her for Errivel's return and asking for her protection against Beshaba's influence for Sana's crewmembers. After she finishes praying, Sana goes to bed, exhausted anew by the worry and tension of the past hour.
The next morning, Sana rises early and is waiting up on deck as various people make their way on deck, apparently reading a book. However, she sneakily keeps an eye on the four crew members who were on the mission yesterday, especially Errivel, who died, and Chandor, who vanished after the group got back.
Carrhae kneels down and hugs Misha. "Do you want me to punish you? Because I will not do that to you. You're my friend and you care about the safety of the crew almost as much as I do. You saved Erriviel, even if it came at great cost to you. That's an honorable sacrifice, Misha. Even if you lost glory in Acheron, you've gained some in my eyes. And even if I was going to punish you," Carrhae says, lifting Misha's head so that she can meet her gaze. "I can scarcely think of a punishment worse than the one you've already given yourself. Now rise. I could use your help getting into my armor and you must get ready too. We're leading another team to the house. Perhaps you can regain some of your lost honor." Carrhae smiles at Misha and gives her a peck on the forehead as the two get ready. Then she seeks out Kali, Syltra, and Wolf to bring along as well.
Wolf is hungover when found the next day. Having been put to bed by Sana. He let’s out a low little whine when told he has to go back to the house but doesn’t offer anymore resistance and gets ready.
Syltra wakes up refreshed. After learning more about what happened at the house, she checks in to make sure Errivel is okay. She gives him space, and asks no more questions of the away team from yesterday, sensing the mood.
”Ready when you are, cap’n,” she says to Carrhae. “Is there anything we need to know about the situation going forward?”
Relief overcame Kali seeing that Erriviel was alive, worse for wear, but alive. I’d hope that he at least gave Misha a thank you, she thinks to herself, watching Erriviel slowly make his way to the doctors quarters. Her eye followed him up until Misha emerged from below, her demeanor more serious than her normal happy-go-lucky one, something the crew hadn’t seen before. Kali decided not to pry for today, departing from the group after seeing everyone off to bed. Tomorrow’s going to be a heavy day.
It was no surprise to the barbarian when Carrhae told her she would be apart of the second away team so she readied herself quickly and gathered where the rest would be. She’d keep a close eye on Misha to see how she was feeling after this whole ordeal, slightly hoping she was back to her normal self.

Misha raised her head as Carrhae spoke, and said nothing, but embraced her tightly and kissed the side of their her head. She nodded as she spoke and her eyes watered in understanding. Truly, Misha was lucky, and helped her Captain with her armor. She then went into her room, and latched into her armor, and grabbed her hammer, shield, and glaive.
This time would be different.
She approached the group. “Yesterday we found evidence that the Suel Imperium ees indeed making base ees the house. We almost died the last time we were there, and surely they know someone has entered their base. We must be careful. Tharizdun’s evil lurks in that place.”
Bane. Please give me a chance to regain the honor I lost. I beg you. I will be your faithful servant far beyond death. I have served you well so far, and have dedicated my life to you. Hear me, a faithful Prime Paladin.
She glanced at everyone, her gaze settling on Kali. She wanted to tell her everything. Tell her what she felt, how she felt. Misha felt stained, dirty. She wanted redemption, and her grip hardened on her hammer, resolved and ready again to face the dangers of the house.
As Carrhae left the ship, she requisitioned the potions that Sloop and Chandor had found in the temple, adding them to the pile that she and Kali had. She allowed Erriviel to keep his potion, as it didn't feel right to take it from a man who had only come back a few hours ago, even if it wasn't likely that he'd immediately need it. She allows Misha to take point, leading the team to where the second team left off, but stands close behind her. She looks to Misha and Kali, thinking how it feels right to be going into action with the two of them. Misha, who trained with Carrhae for four years in Acheron. And Kali, who even if she didn't know for that long, was still growing to be a friend and ally. As Misha prepares to lead them inside the darkness of the house, Carrhae grabs her by the shoulder and says. "I promise you Misha, one day the sun will shine on you again."

Carrhae has beat Kali to the punch of attempted comfort on the paladin though, to be fair, comfort wasn’t something the hybrid was good at. She did manage a small smile when the red head looked at her, the smile falling when the captain asked her a question.
”Scabbers, though,” She lifts her left hand, her pinky and middle finger bandaged. “Don’t think he likes it much. Might change it to something else like... Remy or Snoofers. I’m open to suggestions.”

Misha led the team to the cellars. As you descend, the hundreds of candles the team described, in addition to the hellish and demonic pentagrams and symbols on the walls written in blood, are all still here. There is blood everywhere. Something horrible is happening down here. For some reason, they flicking candle flames seem overjoyed at your return. "These are the markings of the Suel Imperium..the Brotherhood is indeed here." She stops in the room where they fell in battle.
"Here" she says, taking point, showing the room. The blood was still on the floor from yesterday. There were dead skeleton bones littered all over the floor. "Thees ees the room where we were attacked by the skeletons. We were attempting to-"
Suddenly, a secret door opened roughly, and what looked like a skeletal mage emerged from the north end of the room, glowing with arcane power. It howled, "FOR THARIZDUN!"
"No!" Misha yelled, pulling out her glaive - she pressed a button on it's hilt and a long deadly blade emerged. "For HONOR! RHrhgrh!" A growl rumbled in her throat, like a trained animalistic killer waiting to be unleashed. Not this time. Not today.

"Snoofers is cute, go with that."She looks at the bandages on her fingers. "Ouch, those are nasty. Perhaps it has too much energy. Maybe you should get one of those hamster wheels so that it'll work off that energy and be too tired to bite you." As the mage appears, Carrhae draws her sword and gets serious. "I'm right here with you."

Wolf, having been hungover and then instantly creeped out over all of this blood and stuff, has been hiding behind the Firbolg. When the skeletal Mage pops up though he knows it’s time to switch into action. So with a low growl he shakes away the uneasiness he has felt and springs into battle.
