Sergei is still locked in his room. Occasionally he sends out notes for someone to deliver him a meal, but he can’t afford to put the crew at risk by leaving.
The Oni knocks on his door. “The Yugoloth is mentioning a black eyed, red scaled beholder wizard that knows you and the captain. Know anything?”
Sergei thinks for a moment. “I believe he was on a ship called “The Gut” that me and Cairn traveled on. I was on my way to a college with a scholarship.”
“So the fiend isn’t lying to us?”
“About what? I haven’t been around.”
“The whole ‘the demons are trying to unite a fractured god with black eyed, red skinned fragments’ thing.”
“It’s a good thing I kept logs of my days on that ship. I believe I remember the beholder actually mentioning Xi, although it was decades earlier than I met him.”
“Great. A time traveling beholder god fragment. Just what the world needs.”

‘I’m just not sure about the whole ‘uniting a fractured good’ thing. Also these demons did kinda steal my boat and enslave me, so there’s that.’
A skeptical furrow appears on Flynn's brow as the yugoloth lays out his proposal. "I understand your plight, but I'm not the captain of this ship. That title belongs to Captain Cairn. It's up to him to decide who captains his vessel and who doesn't. I can't make promises on behalf of the captain, but I can certainly relay your offer to him. Flynn pauses for a moment, contemplating the situation. "But I will say this: if you're sincere in your intentions to help us combat these demon pirates and you can truly make a ship immune to sinking, that's a proposition worth considering.
He crosses his arms over his chest. "So, what do you say we take this to the captain? Let him weigh in on the matter and see where we go from there?"
‘Got a rowboat? I can show you if you like.’
"I suppose a demonstration wouldn't hurt. The rowboats are kept over here." Flynn leads them to a rowboat that is dangling over the side of the ship.

The God larva has surfaced once again, scanning the deck for Sergei.
"Oi, big fella," Flynn calls out, trying to address the God Larva respectfully. "I know you're looking for Sergei, but he's not available at the moment. Can I help you with anything instead?"

Can you help me claim the soul of a former god? If you help me, I could give you anything you ever wanted. Riches, fame, power. Anything.

Flynn chuckles wryly, shaking his head at the God Larva's offer.
"Like I haven't heard that one before," he quips, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Listen, mate, if I had a copper for every time someone promised me riches, fame, and power, I'd be richer than the wealthiest king in the realms. But here's the thing: I've seen enough to know that deals with creatures like you never end well. So, forgive me if I decline your generous offer."

Damian considers setting the Larva on fire, but chooses against it.
The larva looks to Damian.
Do you know someone named Sergei? Where are they?
"I do but I don't like most gods so why would I say?" Damian sits down and eyes the larva
Because I soon will be one of the most powerful creatures in existence, so it would be wise if you help me currently.
"Well I'm am not exactly known for my wisdom my friend, I believe he is in his room and cannot be disturbed at the moment. Could you do me a favor when you become so incredibly powerful?"

Mm, good point. But were any of those creatures genuine, actual gods? Once I attain that power there is no reason or limits preventing me from granting you those things. You could become whatever you desire, if you help me attain the Soul of Xi.

And what is that?
"Kill the gods that tormented me and made me this way. If you would be so kind." Damians face goes hard for a second but continues as normal.

tell me of what plans the ship is brewing up, and if they go to the abyss, follow them and get Xi’s soul. As soon as I have Xi’s soul, i will have the power to grant your wishes and we can work together from there.
