Toni runs the back of her neck, “shit. I’m sorry…here, is it ok if I fix that bump?” She waits for consent before healing Sefina with a level 2 cure wounds: 18

Sefina consents to the healing. 

Jeff, Arc, and Toni recognize this creature as an Astraele, a fey creature that resides in aquatic moons. You know that their beauty has an incredible power over the mind, as those who are attracted to women can be beguiled by them should they stray too close to them. You also know that the shawls these creatures carry keep them alive and that death comes to these creatures in a day if their shawl is destroyed, a weakness that has caused some Astraeles to be forced into service by those unscrupulous enough to steal their shawls and threaten to destroy them.

Arcade, returning to his cognitive senses, organizes his databanks sudden detailing of who and what the creature in front of him is, "Astraele. Fey creatures native to aquatic moons. Known for their supernatural beauty and often abused for it." His eyes buzz for a moment as he cocks his head to the side, before muttering in a lower tone, "....strange." He doesn't voice his thoughts, as he ponders as to how and why the fey woman's beauty was able to affect him.

"Huh." Dani adds it to her database. "Anyway, hi Sefina, we're new here. Is there anything you can tell us about this moon? Like what's in the jungle?"

After a quick fix of his jacket, Jeff would run his hands through his dark hair and approach the celestial. "Jeffery Jefferson." He'd give his usual formal greeting, bowing respectfully prior to looking back up with his signature smile. "Pleased to make your acquaintance Miss Sefina and my apologies for the assertive intrusion." He'd stand back upright. "If I may," He'd look around to his Captain and crew mates before looking back to Sefina. "This is Captain Toni, Quartermaster Dani, her bodyguard Arcade and our captains sweet sister with a voice even sweeter, Gin." He'd introduce them respectively.

"As Dani has asked, we are very interested in learning more about this moon." The man would begin to explain. "And I'd like to hear your story and what you have to say."

Jeff would place his hand over his chest. "To share ours, we participated in the Regatta and won." He'd look around, eventually gesturing generally to all of it. "The prize, ownership of this moon." He'd look to her. "Your home?"

"Speaking for myself, I'm not often given responsibilities..." The man would admit. "But considering the situation, I think it's safe to say that we'd rather start off on the right foot with a clear understanding than the latter."

"Let's see. The jungle is filled with dinosaurs. A bunch of small ones that fly, some big ones with shields for heads, and a huge one with really sharp teeth. And the base next door! A lotta people used to live there, but the cyclopes from the old ruins drove them away."

"One eyed snakes always chasing people away..." Jeff muses. "We can beat it." He'd grin. "The cyclopes." He'd add. "Oh I know! And then we can open an entertainment park in the jungle to attract people back!?"

After getting over the charm mishap, Gin perks up at Jeff's suggestion. "Oh?! We can totally take down that ugly ol' cyclopes, no problem! And I love the idea of an entertainment park! Maybe it can be like a... like a dinosaur zoo!"

Arcade, still unable to tear his gaze away from Sefina, speaks up, though with a strange lag that he can't seem to erase, or perhaps does not even notice, "My...my masters...If I may. Would it be wise to make plans prior to further investigation? We have yet to determine the state of the moon, much less additional lifeforms upon it....there is also the matter of time, as we are on a timeline."

"What Arc said," Dani agrees. "Deal with stuff first, then design dino zoo." She rubs her hands together. "Anything else you know about the cyclopes, Sefina?"

"They've got one eye, carry around big axes all the time, are really aggressive, and lurk around those ruins. Don't know anything about them other than that."

Toni stretches her arms, flexing slightly while she limbers up, “Cyclopes, plural? Are they in here?” She points in the direction of the base.

she gives a whoop of excitement, “sounds like a fun challenge, is there a secret entrance? That’s always how these stories go.”

"The cyclopes don't go in the base. No one does. There's ghosts in there. I don't know about any secret entrances to the Cyclopes ruins. Wouldn't be a secret if I did."

“Wait. Did you say ghosts?” Toni stops dead and looks to her companions, “I don’t know about ghosts…Anyone know anything about how to deal with things like that?”

Gin knows that ghosts are the spirits of the deceased that have some unfinished business that prevents them from passing on. While attacking the spirit can cause their spectral forms to fall apart, that is only a temporary solution, as their spirits will re-form in a matter of days, unless whatever is keeping them tied to the Material Plane is resolved. Gin knows that in addition to their Horrifying Visage, their Withering Touch, and their ability to possess individuals, some particularly powerful ghosts retain some of the abilities they had in life.

"I do! I knew reading all those ghost encyclopedias before bedtime would come in handy one day!" Gin proclaims, looking extremely pleased at herself. "So, like, I'm sure we all know the basics about ghosts, right? People die, come back as ghosties. But, thing is, not everyone turns into one! People turn into ghosts because they have unfinished business in this world that prevents them from passing on." She looks at the others to ensure they were listening to her before pressing on.

"So, yeah, we can just attack 'em and they'll 'die', but it'll just come back later! We have to resolve whatever unfinished business the ghosties had! Erm, somehow." The lashunta adds the last bit sheepishly, though she continues with more confidence. "I can also advise what kinda stuff they can do too, if we're looking to, er... get rid of them for a little while. But! I think we can help them without fighting. Unless they come at us swinging. Then we beat their spectral asses."
