We spent the a week or so in barter town but gained little knowledge that would help us identify the source of Vaughn's trouble more concretely. Eventually we heard that a powerful adept who was visiting House Syrtis might be able to help. We set off overland. Along the way we found evidence that the Therans had captured the mysterious woman from the strange vessel but recovered her robe from a drunk troll. At house Syrtis we were ordered to stop by the guards and Vaughn was hit by an arrow but eventually recovered.
Reluctantly we returned to the ship to finish exploring its secrets. We found that it had been searched and ransacked by Therans but the control room was still guarded by the armored creature and appeared inviolate. Vaughn gained access to the mysterious weapon after another party member failed to activate it. Though the guard fled rather than face him so armed, he turned the weapon us. At first unable to aim accurately once he had plunged the spike into his brain he was deathly accurate killing Sparky and Eyob. The cavalryperson and I subdued him and took him to Charles in Gnarles Barkly for his advice. He said that Vaughn was clearly Horror-tainted and that the only solution was burning. We agreed to decapitate him first and proceeded to purge the evil.
