Venusday, 20th of Ascending Wood, RY 768

We left Wormwood before dawn in Hazaad's ships, not beautiful, but servicable. The morning dawned a dusty red, as it often does in the south. Hot as it was, I decided to leave my armor off until shortly before the attack. We sailed south from Chiaroscuro, along the course of the convoy, and finally sighted their sand plumes in the distance. As Hazaad brought us in behind the ships, we noticed a sandstorm brewing behind us--the raid would have to move fast. Hiding in the sand plumes until the last moments, the galleys had but little warning when his two trailing ships grappled the hindmost galleys -- depositing my allies on those ships in the process, with the intent to leap to the escort ships -- while I remained aboard Hazaad's sandship to storm to the lead galley. I immediately cut the mast to slow them, then used it to sweep the deck of resistance. Within seconds, however, the escorts each released a fang of odd hovering vehicles with an amazing turn of speed. I later learned they are called "", essence-powered fast-attack vehicles from the First Age. I hurled the broken mast at them, but they simply leaped over it with no apparent trouble. -bikers -blazing solar bolt, jump on bike -grab fallen essence spear fire plasma launcher thing -sandstorm hit -riders phased out -get to a ship -free slaves -retrospective: Eino's battle with the caravan leader -convinced him to join us -sealed the deal, blew apart the sandstorm -Flare anima -Everyone collects between the wrecked ships -Aid from Eino and Fox -"In the beginning..."
