Returning to the ship was accessed the upper chamber now unguarded and discovered panels to insert the keys. We were unable to discover any functionality but did seem to set off an alarm and overload the engines. We left the ship and watched from a goodly distance as it exploded in a ball of fire.
Setting out, we soon found evidence of that a Horror tainted individual had horribly maimed a camp of miners. They had no means of communication and were suffering horribly. Friti put them out of their misery. We did the same when we found a group of picnickers who had suffered the same fate.
We tracked the contagion to Bartertown where the horror first attacked the Red Spot. We obtained a description from the used horse salesman who had bought the horse that we had been tracking. Friti said that he seemed to be a normal mount. We were unable to learn more at the Red Spot because all the victims had been sequestered by the guards.
At first the Throalic guard was suspicious but eventually we were given a commission to aid in the search by a mysterious dwarf who also took the robe from us. We discovered the man who we had been looking for among the victims from the Red Spot. Several patrols of guards were attacked and we discovered that one guard was missing. He had bought the same horse the Horror had ridden in on and headed for House Syrtis. We followed him there only to learn of an attack on a boat downstream. We hurried to follow but then were intercepted by messengers bearing the news of a new attack in Syrtis, to which we duefully returned.
