It would appear we have, ah, some uninvited visitors on board. They might the the source of some of the odd things people have been reporting today.

I don't think I've ever seen this many spirits in one place at once...

Do you have any idea why they're here?

And what exactly are they? Spirits of the deceased? Or wild beings that were always bodiless? Are they bound to someone living who controls them?

[wavesandthunder]

Mmm, mostly human spirits, it seems? Though I've spotted some that aren't - an elemental spirit or two, too.

As for your other questions - I'm not sure yet myself.

[daughterofchump]

Okay. Are they dangerous? Can they be defended against if they are? And even if they aren't...is there any way to banish them and get them off the ship?

[wavesandthunder]

Some may be - there seem to be a number of different types. Unfortunately typically only magic affects them, though.

I believe there are ways of banishing them, but I don't know them myself - the best I can do is talk to the ones that'll listen and try to get them to leave.

[thewarisover]

...Spirits, huh? That explains a lot.

[Read the exchange with the First Mate, as well.]

[wavesandthunder]

A bit, yes.

[thewarisover]

I wasn't aware that you could see such things, sir.

[wavesandthunder]

It's not, ah, something that comes up much...

[notrueking]

...Spirits, you say? That's awfully inconvenient.

[wavesandthunder]

A bit, yes. I'm sorry there isn't much more I can do to help, sir.

[notrueking]

Can you communicate with them?

[wavesandthunder]

Yes, I can do that much.

[myworknotme]

Wonderful. Is there any way to keep them out at all? There are three in the infirmary right now, and they're damned chatty.

[wavesandthunder]

If anyone on board knows how to do wards, that might do it - I'm not much of a mage myself, though.

[myworknotme]

Damn. More's the pity.

[nohoppityskip]

There aren't supposed to be this many of them anywhere. It might be interesting if it weren't so aggravating.

[wavesandthunder]

Ah, you can see them as well...? [things he didn't expect from a diplomat, ha]

It is a bit grating though, yes.
