As a shadow in the dawn
The powder is apparently a Tibetan secret Arabella picked up from a shaman there. Quite a remarkable woman. We went to move the body and popped a thin bubble around him that I had not seen before. Within seconds, his body began to corrode and within minutes he was but dust. All that is left is his odd garment and the weapon which I gave to Arabella as a trophy. No more moves from the other ship.
