After the crew heads back to the Barnacle, they gather over supper. Sergei has a stern, grim look on his voice, contrast to his normal warm smile.
“This won’t take very long, I hope. Around 40 years ago, me and your Captain Cairn were members of the crew on that ship. It was a refugee carrying ship that we had disguised as a cargo ship. We would smuggle foreign travelers illegally. We had a kind hearted captain named Mullock. The book that Cadeo found belonged to the Chief Engineer, Jorje. Me and Cairn were close friends with another two named Nico and Caspian. Caspian was the ship’s coordinator and Nico was a chore boy. We smuggled many refugees, but there was a certain group that we became very close with. We were taking them across the country border on the fateful day that we were attacked by the Kraken. There were many children and friends on the boat. The Kraken destroyed most of the boat, leading me to believe that this isn’t the actual ship. When the Kraken attacked us, many tragedies occurred. Cairn fell off the side of the ship, which is why he’s alive. The crew, including me, were mostly eaten and killed. By a stroke of luck I was swallowed whole and lived in the Kraken’s stomach, but before I was, I saw an event take place.
The crew new that the boat was able to overpower the Kraken if the Captain would take the wheel, but the Captain revealed his true colors. He used some wizard spells to try to blind the Kraken and run away, but it struck him down with a tentacle. My guess is that Mullock’s abandonment caused the refugee’s and crew’s spirits restless in death, which is why they came back as these spirits. I heard many tales of a haunted ship floating across the sea from the fish and birds that the Kraken swallowed. Now I know that those tales were true, and the ship is The Soaring Angel. However, what confuses me is why there were explosives and bodies inside the cargo. I wish to explore the rest of the ship and get to the bottom of this.”
Laughter holds up the caged ghost cylinder. He plays a note with a lilt at the end, like a question. It seems he's suggesting that they use the Soul Cage to scout ahead or to ask it questions.

“Is the ghost’s soul in that thing? Interesting…However I doubt there’s much it could tell us that would be extremely useful. I think it would be best if we were just prepared for any enemies in there.”

Flynn nods in agreement. "It sounds like a tragic tale, Sergei. The specters of the past seem to linger, seeking some form of resolution. If exploring the rest of The Soaring Angel can shed light on the mysteries surrounding this ship and provide peace for those restless souls, then count me in. I'm ready for whatever challenges may lie ahead." Flynn glances at the Soul Cage with a thoughtful expression.
Blackflame motions even more urgently for help and pleads while Mercy makes herself more comfortable
If this is halfway through Sergei’s story, he’s not gonna do anything.
Xi summons a ball of fire. You know how people use spray bottles on cats that are doing something bad. He does that but the bottle is a ball of fire and the spray is just sparks

“I believe there are rooms somewhere below deck. You can get a key from the bartender”

Sergei is annoyed that Mercy would enter Cairn’s cabin. “The Captain of this ship wouldn’t take kindly to a stranger entering his room without permission. I suggest you exit the room now.”

The bartender is a woman with the lower body of a scorpion, serving drinks with inhuman speed.
Flynn approaches the scorpion-tailed bartender. "G'day! I'm in need of a room below deck. Could you provide me with a key, love? I need to get some beauty sleep before anything supernatural happens again.”

“‘Love,’ eh? Real rich coming from a lad who hasn’t bothered to learn my name. Ah, well.” She slides him a key. “Down the stairs, turn left. It’s the seventh room down. You don’t mind sleeping in a dead man’s bed, do ya?”

Flynn, feeling a bit embarrassed, replies, "Ah, me apologies, miss. I must admit, never seen a lass with a tail like that before, so I was half-expecting you to be more on the non-talkative side. My name is Flynn, what shall I call you?"
