002 - Crash, Ah-ahhhh

General Summary

After escaping from Kalabar, the Space Oddities begin making their journey towards the Tears of Selune on the trailing edge of the asteroid belt.
The new guests on the ship are given a tour by the quartermaster, Beldani, whilst the crew members Pip and Jet meet with the Captain, Canopus Carinae, to discuss was happened on the planet.
After the tour, the newbies are given a crash course in the wilds of space by the captain, whilst the first mate Evelyn Ashglade sends a cryptic telepathic message to Princess Temperance Cozar - "Where did you get it?".
The meeting ends with the newbies being asked to fish up some space-faring fish to bolster the ship's stores, and whilst they mostly don't manage to hook anything they do manage to draw the bloodlust of a nearby wandering Dragon Wyrmling.
The crew manages to fight off the wyrmling, but manages to draw the ire of a much larger dragon in the process. Canopus flies from his quarters, around the ship and onto the deck, where they break some chain apart and order crew members to mend them around the end of ballistae bolts. They fire one of these into the dragon, and the other into a nearby asteroid, leashing the dragon and allowing the ship to escape.
Having had enough excitement for one day, everyone is asked to return to below deck as the ship will be moving through a nasty part of the asteroid field and the deck will need to be closed off. Whilst everyone retires below, the ship is hit by a blue flame comet and begins to crystalise.
The captain orders everyone to abandon ship, dividing up the crew into teams and handing out scrolls of Emergency Recall and a pair of healing potions to each team. There are three scrolls, three teams, and the captain is left behind alone on the ship.
Jet and Pip are ordered to keep Temperence, Major and Morell safe and deliver them safely to Dunamis, but as Jet casts the Emergency Recall spell the interference from the Mindfield causes it to misfire and they end up somewhere in the asteroid belt in the middle of a petrified forest, and are immediately set upon by blighted woodland creatures.
