Khala spotted it first, but Areothotis shouted the warning, "Madness hulk!" Few things were more feared in the void; entire crews consumed with glowmadness, roam the skies looking for ships to sacrifice in service to Lightbringer.

Khala acted swiftly, seeking to avoid the oncoming collision. Grappling hooks were fired into the port side of the Chance before the hulk changed course, seeking to drag the heroe's ship into a small nearby islet. Everyone on board braced for impact while Khala strained at the wheel. Putting all of his strength into a tight maneuver, he forced the hulk into direct path with the islet! The hulk was severely damaged, but the Chance was still grappled.

The voidpriest mocked the small crew while ordering his glowmad warriors. A massive wyrmspawn flew in, searing all with his uncontrollable heat. The battle was grim, nearly costing Khala his life, but the heroes did pull through. Unfortunately, the voiders were successful in part of their plans; Khala was furious with anger, in part due to his already primal rage. Areothotis and Elyas were also abnormally angry. Glimwick was quick to point out this strange occurrance, and Areothotis did what he could to calm the crew, sensing their dive into glowmadness.

In the days that would pass, none would fully notice Elyas' continuing, seething, anger. Not until a sudden outburst had Elyas bludgeoning Dee into unconsciousness. The party was able to subdue Elyas and, with the gift of Areothotis' healing song, stave off the effects of glowmadness long enough to reason with him. Once he saw what he had done, He fell into despair. Elyas confined himself to his quarters for the remainder of the trip.

The incident had further ramifications; the wildlings now actively avoided the heroes, realizing that even Fey with noble intentions can inflict harm upon them.

Plenty was a welcome sight after such a journey. Khala expertly navigated the Razor Passage, and they made quite a financial haul selling the different salvage and building materials they had picked up. Glimwick also negotiated a haul of food supplies to Canopy, hoping to gain a bit more money for their trip. Meanwhile, Khala saw to the Chance's repairs.

Areothotis visited the Teardrop, seeking guidance from Kain Lifedancer, high priest of Melora. The high-priest was impressed with Areothotis' heroic tales, and advised that he should continue on his course, and not let the mad utterings of an insane god burden him.

With business settled, they set out for Timber. A Fey patrol ship was spotted, inciting fury in Elyas, who proposed they seek out and slaughter the fiends. Wisely, the party chose a more discrete method of avoiding the ship and heading on their way.
