#3 The Soul of the Express

🗺 The Ghostlight Express

Summary

  • A brass phonograph is discovered — scratched, a shadowy figure, a strong powerful presence. Philip says it is a memory.
  • Endless food is found in the dining car.
  • A Songstress spirit moves on once the phonograph is played.
  • A new ghost appears in the car: a prisoner with a ball and chain who eats cheese, inflates like a balloon, floats, pops, and drifts away.
  • Djeera receives an Arcane Crystal. Amergin finds Goggles of the Night (darkvision goggles).
  • Items discovered in a Letter D chest: Djeera gets a Ring, Noora gets Silver Coins, Traffle gets Clothes.
  • A Ring of Fire is found on top of a chest in the luggage car — previously snatched off someone; animals died in the fire.
  • The Circus Car is discovered: bloody, flame-burned area, a sausage rock, a blasting arcana door. The Vagrant ghost opens the door for the party.
  • The Iron Car: a reinforced car with a fiery smell and a huge gas furnace — custom-built, powered by spirits and ghosts ("Soul Fipsht"). If the train stops, no souls remain to carry it. Anyone on the train can be turned into fuel.
  • Cheesy stench comes from the furnace.
  • After debate about tricking the Daydreamer with the turd rock, Amergin hands him the rock. The Daydreamer floats toward what is now known to be the train's furnace.
  • The train speeds up, rockets forward, shakes, then suddenly halts — ejecting everyone into darkness.
  • The Ghostlight Express has crashed.
