Snack-Time for the Illithids

Fuelwen: As per our agreement with the Githzerai, we went to the battlefield where the Giff and Crocodilomoprhs were fighting, intent on breaking up the battle. Our work was done for us, as the two sides fought each other to death. A group of Illithids went from body to body, sucking the brains free.

It's difficult to keep track of time, and I'd hate to starve to death upon arrival to the Prime. I decided to follow their lead- they wanted the brains, I would take the viscera. This drew the attention of the Mind-Flayers. They slipped up towards us. We saw them coming, and we didn't exactly take a defensive posture. They struck first, but we still gave them a sound thrashing.

The only interesting note: the undead leader was a twin for Meat-Puppet. When we killed him, I was scryed by Killibron a short time later. The Illithid had taken Meat-Puppet's body and was threatening to kill everyone aboard if I didn't give him a proper sacrifice. I offered Killibron, but Killibron refused to relay that message, so I settled on Crewman Jenkins. His performance has been horrible, and he'd taken to wearing this hideous red shirt every where he went.

Customs

Fuelwen: Brilla talked our way through customs at the Githyanki border. That was probably the safest approach. Our answers were mostly honest.
