Bill - Vithbad Schler - Mind Flayer Psi trapped in a Human's Body
Andrew - Gani Vihab (Wrinkles) - Shapeshifting Shaman from Animalia dedicated to help the wild who spends most of his time in the form of a dog.
Bernie - Hobbs - Demon from the Abyss who radiates evil but isn't. Has a nasty magic gun and eats magic items.
Andy H. - Darcy Charles Polyshane - Troubleshooting Nobleman who finds trouble and shoots it...for INGLEMIA!
John - Virgilous March Banks Chumley - Intelligent Honeybadger from Narnia who is looking for items stolen from him by an evil Inglemian Wizard.
The group discerns that the name of the ship is the IRS Samantha Dark. Upon investigation, they discover the ship is not only fully equipped but amazingly equipped as well. It has:
Fully stocked research laboratories and labs.
A full crew of hyperdedicated psi ghosts including 3 squads of Psi ghost Water Recon marines and 2 squads of Psi ghost Fire wizards
Two full barages of 10 Broadside Lightning Cannons with arachnesilk rotation to also provide trebuchets and magic missles
A forward mounted Anti Magic Ray which is also rotatable with a telekensis beam and a petrification ray
Rotatable defensive wards for protection against magic, elemental magics or self repair
An intelligent spirit capable of running the ship
A full compliment of flying carpets
A Moderately powerful cloaking device
They also ran into a complication in that ship would only acknowledge or work with a human captain, which basically defaulted to Darcy or the ship's mad enginer, Angus Setterdark. (Technically Wrinkles would qualify as human but that would require him not being a dog all the time....) since Virgil, Hobbes and Vithbad would definitely NOT qualify, despite Vithbad being inside of a human's body. Darcy made them all officers and they took various positions in the bridge.
The Right Bastards tracked down and locked on to the Iosalian ship which was guarded by four of the greatest champions of the Ring of Xarthak: Malgamous Rex, half dragon general and his giant dragon Terror; Valens of Iosal the master psychic, Mondok the sorcerer from the Shard, and Zzzzt, powerful Telekinetic Formori Warrior. The group managed to sneak up on the Iosalian ship. These champions attempted to attack the Samantha Dark, but thanks to brilliant tactical manuevering from Hobbes and Wrinkles (who had shapeshifted into an octopus to man three different stations) they not only protected the ship from their assault, but rapidly banked the ship and shot them with a full array of Lightning Cannons! Shortly thereafter, Vithbad and Darcy used the experimental teleporter to leap to the other ship behind their lines and take out their defensive psychics, thus allowing Virgil to teleport on board as well and sneak on to the bridge where he tore the captain limb from limb. Meanwhile, Darcy and Virgil shocked the entire crew once the shields were down and Hobbs and Wrinkles defended the Samantha Dark whilst continuing to pound the Iosalian ship to bits with barrage after barrage.
The Ring champions retreated to the ship, and the Right Bastards followed them into a giant cargo hold full of Xarthak destined for anti magic weaponry. A massive battle ensued. Mondok grew to a giant size, but Hobbes punched him and Virgil ganked his ankle. Darcy befuddled the crew in general but particularly damaged Valens, rending his psionic attacks useless, while Vithbad unleased psi blasts on the hoards of minions and onl Valens. Wrinkles turned into a number of things including a bat with hands but ultimately into a giant snake, which summoned forth snakes in crates (Snakes on an Airship!!!) and led them as vipers into the hostile Ring marines that were trying to set up powerful anti infantry weapons to assault the party. Hobbes had leapt across using a catapult and boarded on the side of the ship, rather than use the teleporter. Wrinkles also fried the dragon by ordering the crew to fire lightning guns at it. All of this was going on while Inglemian Psi Ghost wizards and Psi Ghost marines helped them assault the ship.
When all was done, Zzzt and Malagmous Rex were captured whilst Valens and Mondok were slain. The group had captured the barge full of both treasure and valuable weapons, depriving the Ring of Xarthak of a major victory.
