Another Cycle in the City of Doors, Smog, misery, and filth litter the uneven razervine covered walls and streets of the City of Door, recovering from their recent war efforts against Red Sigil, the Planes were the same as ever, Law Versus the forces of Chaos, beings made up of the essences of the Planes doing what is expected of them.

As of lately, a few Planeswalker have begun to noticed a strange but common sight

Spelljammers, With Black Flags risen, their crew disembarking and surveying the Planes, all aware of the dangers of it, if asked, they would turn the Planeswalkers away or dodge their questions, going back to site surveying.

Only time will tell what is happening or what would come out of this.

These strange happenings were met with concern by the denizens of Sigil, especially after the events of the invasion. It could be called paranoia, perhaps, but in the wake of the upheaval, perhaps it could just be called common sense. Vincent was charged with the task of marking one of these ships with a scrying mark, to see where and to the strange ships go.

He set out determined to finish the job undetected, using every tool at his disposal.

Not too long after discussing the plan with Vincent, Dace also sets out to locate another one of the vessels. Once identified, he called upon his eldritch powers, first conjuring wings, and then cloaking himself under an invisibility invocation. Preparations thus made, hediscreetly approached the vessel and marked it with a similar series of runes to scry over later.

With luck, both his and Vincent's markings would allow them to see where the ships would go to next, and perhaps discern their port of origin....
I just want to kill monsters and get prizes for it. Is that REALLY so much to ask for?

Vincent, through stealth and guile was successful in putting a Scrying mark on the ship, it would phase through many Planes before stopping at the Astral Plane

Dace would be succusful in his scry mark as well, they would find the Ship goes through many Planes, from the Lawful ones all the way to the Chaotic Ones, traveling the whole Wheel, meeting up with other Similiar Black flagged Spell Jammers, before finally, stopping at the Astral Plane and staying there as well.

A half dozen or so planeswalkers escorted the man who'd almost been captured back to the Harmonium Barracks in Sigil for questioning.

Reina wrote up a recording of the conversation had with the attempted abducted man, "Anton", sending it along to Harmonium superiors for review. Of particular note was that the man used to be one of the so called "Astral Cannibals", who were mere pirates before a new leadership came along and introduced extreme body modifications such as a second heart.

She would also advise for non-detection wards to be used on him since the Cannibals had gone through copious expenses simply to retrieve him, as well as ask for a physician of some sort to perform analytical tests to ascertain the nature of the body-altering procedures done on the man. She also strongly advocated for his eventual release once he was determined to be reasonably safe, so that he might be able to live a life of his own once more.

Meanwhile, Sasha and Dace took the phase device extracted from the "pirate" ship back to the Siren's Song. Their hope was to study it further, or possibly to bring others in to study it.

Dead God Rock was saved by the combine forces of both the Harmonium, the Mercykillers and a few Planeswalkers.

Two Ships remained port bond in the Astrals, with the bodies of the Crew moved and sent to the Mortuary

Some Described it as a Grisly Scene, talks of Headless Crewmen, a sight truely sickening for only but the hardy.

There were more eye witness accounts of these Spell Jammer's sited through out the Planes, there's even talks of of them coming into

contact with the Githyanki of the Astral Planes, fighting each other until stalemate,both Unrelenting in their attack...

Having left troops behind to impound the surviving Jammers, Dace joined Sasha in bringing the device back to the Siren's Song for further study. At some point, he would also attempt to scry for the ship he had marked in the week before. One was confirmed to be down at Dead God, but perhaps the other was still at large...

There was a silence, The Deaded Astral Cannibals haven't been seen much or spotted within the Planes, with consistant sitings in both the Astral and Planes from Time to time.

Tension was thick, every one knew it was only a matter of time until they repear once again and strike.

The Devices that were in the hands of the Planeswalker and Factioneers lied dormant, as if sleeping, then suddenly, a surge of Magic before the devices Dimmed with Arcane Magic.
