OOC:
An action is allowed. Gzizmix only took a normal movement.
As Gzizmix stops short, Kleber bolts past him. As the half-orc exclaims to the Zarantyr, Faeris mans the aft Ballista. Sloane catches sight of the elemental emerging from the swirling smoke and squeaks in surprise, "Oh!"

The group then hears Malbor using the same breathy language. The elemental snaps to look at the half-elf.

The chaotic swirling of the smoke and the lightning diminish. The massive elemental figure floats in the smoke, staring at Malbor for a moment. She then calmly exhales.

An arm of swirling dust and smoke gestures to the group, but she does not appear aggressive. Instead, the strange, meditative breathing continues to be aimed at Malbor.

"Are... are we... ok here?" 37 asks as he looks from the elemental to Malbor and back. He also gestures for Sloane to skirt around and get closer to him, in case things aren't as safe as they seem.

Malbor lets out another series of sighs and exhales that sound much like the whispering of winds through deep caverns or perhaps in the deep woods. They seem to possess some meter but their meaning is incomprehensible.

Sloane heeds 37 and quickly hides behind the warforge’s legs. She clears her throat, "Are you speaking with her?", she whispers quietly to Malbor.
Jul 8, 2023 7:39 am
Malbor turns to Sloane an 37, addressing 37 first he says
"We are fine for now, however, that may not last long. We have at most an hour before the elemental changes its mind. At that point, I think we, and in particular *I* will be in grave danger."
and then to Sloane
"As to your question, yes I am speaking with her. She wanted to know why we were here and I explained we are trying to help."
then Malbor adds
"She said the soul touched were taken by magic."

Vice sticks next to Gzizmix, holding back the many questions he has.
Jul 8, 2023 3:00 pm
"We need to report to the Captain, immediately. If we have an hour at most, time is marching ever onward." With that, the construct will lead Sloane back topside to report.

Soul Touched? he whispers to Vice
OOC:
I have no idea what that is.
Jul 8, 2023 5:04 pm
Vice shrugs and whispers back "Me neither, you're supposed to be the smart one. Should we offer to get the 'soul touched' back?"

Psybermagi says:
Soul Touched? he whispers to Vice
OOC:
I have no idea what that is.
OOC:
I have an idea what it means, but I'm not sure so that's why I repeated what it said. I didn't want to add my speculation.

OOC:
Soul touched are those with souls, men, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.

Warforged, constructs, animals, monsters, etc are generally believed to not have souls.

Though, there is debate about which do and don’t.

OOC:
Just cast Raise Dead on a Warforged that committed suicide, if he doesn't get up, it means they have souls and that one in particular doesn't want to come back.
Kleber's hands had released the swords handles once he joined the group near the unexpectedly non-rampaging elemental. "And exactly how do we 'help' her?" he asks with skepticism, fingers twitching when the elemental's wind tendrils whipp in his general direction .

As the group gathers back on the poop deck, the elemental decreases in size, now floating around seven feet tall, rather than twenty. Instead of height, she takes up a lot more space. Her form softly floats around her light a billowing ball gown. Somewhat translucent, her shape is now only distinguished by the dust and smoke she gathers up as she moves. She follows Malbor closest, but keeps her distance from the rest.

On the Zarantyr’s Light, Faeris nervously keeps the ballista trained on the elemental. Captain Vren stands firmly at the gangway, clearly blocking you from bringing her aboard. "What in the Three Dragons are you doing with that?" and gestures incredulously at the wispy woman you have in tow.

Malbor continues to speak a few windy syllables to the elemental then turns to address the Captain and others present.
"It seems that whatever happened destroyed the elemental containment. The fire elemental is gone, but this one wishes to return to being united with the ship."

Captain Vren looks to Sloane. "That’s your area of expertise."
Sloane
Sloane replies, clearly thinking as she speaks. "I know, I know, I know. Let me think." She then rambles rapidly, "I may have an idea. Okay, so, a ritual binding. You know it can take weeks for an elemental her size. Mostly because they’re unwilling to bind and the crystal needs to be infused with magic from a very powerful master. However, this crystal is anlready infused with the binding magic and was infused specifically for her. Now, if she’s willing to bind on her own, the crystal should theoretically take her back in. We just need to activate the crystal."

She hands the crystal to Malbor, "Since she trusts you...", then the gnome artificer takes off onto the Zarantyr, past the captain and below deck.

As soon as the crystal touches Malbor’s hands, the deep blue crystal begins to glow faintly. As the drow peers into the crystal, he can see the runes of the binding magic within.

OOC:
Malbor takes 1d6 psychic damage and I’ll need a concentration check to maintain your hold over the elemental. (DC 10)

"Even with the elementalreturned, will the ship fly on it's own?" Vice ask
Jul 9, 2023 6:06 pm
"It's the soarwood hull that let airships float, elementals are used to push them through the air. We could secure ropes and have the Zarantyr tug it." Kleber suggests, his gaze shifting to the giant hole in Cyre's deck. "Just need to make sure it doesn't fall apart during the trip." he adds
