From bad to worse...

Well the town they woke up in happens to be the mysterious one written about in the ghost ship note, and then they start askign around abotu the box they find the one that it was intended for. The thing is that the note was written over 1000 years ago, but the people there say the ship has been gone for only 3 years. The box is opened and it's revealed to hold a big crystal, so they take it to the hose of the village mage, but they only find there the guy that randomly saves them now and then. The guy then takes his sword and causes the crysal to evaporate, making this whole quest oddly pointless. With nothing else to do the group heads back through the desert planning to head back to the arena city to finally deliver the letter, but while passing though the small town at the edge of the desert they started off from they find that the noble who was shipping people off into the desert was up to his tricks again. Knowing that the noble is above the law and will continue sending people to their death in the desert, Yuri sneaks out at night and indirectly kills him by luring him into a quick sand trap.

The next day they go to leave but they find that Flynn's knights have blocked off passage through the cave system they went though before to prevent any one from getting to the arena city. The gang manage to sneak through the caves and make it back to the arena city in them to deliver the letter on the new moon, and it's revealed that the head of the arena guild is another of the ancient talking creatures, like the one that Estelle has been trying to find. Before they could get many answers though Karol's old guild shows up determined to kill the being. The creature stays to take care of the leader while the party goes off to take care of the rest of the guild, and after a few fights the creature shows up again hurt. Estelle goes to use her magic to heal it, but it reacts strangely to the magic and goes mad, so the party then has to kill it. Once it's dead it turns into the same kind of giant crystal as was in the box from the ghost ship and Flynn's knights how up to arrest everyone just as Estelle picks it up. The arty manages to escape, but are stopped at the docks by Flynn, who outs Yuri to the rest of the team as the murder of the two corrupt nobles. Yuri asks why Flynn is taking over the arena city and acting like the bullies he's supposed to be stopping. This gives Flynn a pause for thought and the party escape to the boat as he thinks about his actions.

While on the boat the giant crystal reacts to the magic orb that powers the engines and puts it into turbo, causing the boat to blast past the knight's blockade. Seeing the orb go crazy Judith reverts back to her old habits and destroys it, revelaing herslef to the rest of the party as the dragon rider, she then flies off on her dragon. So the party is one short, dead in the water, know that Yuri lied about Judith and killed to people in cold blood, and everyone but Raven has somethign to be depressed about. So I saved there and Yuri will have a lot to answer for tomorrow.
