New Unique Ship Challenge

SHIP: "Sea of Stars", Barge of Ptah
MODIFICATIONS: Major helm, Magical + 2 Piercing Ram (F), plus see CARGO.
MISSION:  Spread the word and knowledge of Ptah and provide clerical support to those deemed
worthy.
CREW: Drigelembus (C7/h/f, Evangelist kit): Captain and source of inspiration for the long term
mission of the Sea of Stars.  Her dedication to Ptah and the wonders of spelljamming have kept the
ship going during some very difficult times.  Having badly burned her hands in a space battle early
in her career, she always wears of black gloves.
Nafirnal (C5/h/m, Missionary kit): First officer and counter-balance to the demanding, driving
captains personality.  He is comforts those he can and soothes the Captains head-strong religious
fervor.  His level headed thinking has saved the ship on more than one occasion and he usually
conducts diplomatic missions on groundling planets.
Skamerudtes (C6/d/m)  A rare dwarf who has left his groundling heritage to see the stars.  He is
missing an eye and wears a black eyepatch with small diamonds that look like starts on it.
Kogmit (F4/hadozee/f, Berserker kit)  Rescued by Nafirnal after he mate was taken by Illithids, she
has dedicated her life to serving the crew and helping others.  She is particularly protective of
children.  On a visit to Ironport she had the symbol to Ptah tattooed on her left gliding membrane.
She was under the influence of Dwarven brew at the time and now secretly regrets it.  Her usual
genal nature hides the fierce battle rage that overcomes her when the ship or her companions are
threatened.  She fights with a pair of +1 long swords and is specialized in their use.
Kedyal (SP of Ptah3/h/m)  A young lad that has taken up the calling of Ptah.  He is much wiser and
worldly than his years, and many underestimate his abilities as a result.  Although he looks forward
to the Teleport abilities granted by being a specialty priest, he is somewhat envious of the healing
abilities of the ships clerics.  In addition to the standard abilities of a specialty priest of Ptah, Kedyal
also has major access to the Time sphere.  He also possesses a +1 mace of disruption.
Drewedden (C3/he/m) Older but not as clever as Kedyal, he usually follows Kedyal's lead.  He  is
showing promise as a diplomat (but is not of that kit) due to his soothing, genal nature.  His greatest
pleasure is spelljamming and he often volunteers for extra duty at the helm.  Like most of the priest
crew, he possesses the Spelljamming NWP.
Kudosgil (C1/Star Selkie/m)  Rescued by the crew of the Sea of Stars from a band of neogi slavers
that had captured him as a child, Kudosgil was unaware of his heritage for many years.  Drigelembus
is convinced that it was the will of Ptah that it was they who found this youth and she has acted as a
(somewhat stern) mother figure to him every since.  He has not encountered another of his kind yet
and longs to know more about his species, but most of all wonders what happened to his family
group and how he ended up in the clutches of the neogi.
An additional crew of about 35-45 first level fighters or clerics are employed and requited at various
ports.  They are always accepted based on their dedication to Ptah.
CARGO:  Although the ship can carry as much as 40 tons, most of the cargo area has been
converted to a hospital.  Almost any race or alignment will be tended to in if a medical need is
present, but the patient(s) must listen to a lengthy sermon from Drigelembus or one of the other
priests before final release.  The crew also makes a coin or two by selling Continual Light spells and
other clerical spells.  Beings that worship Ptah or protect wildspace for the use of all races receive
preferential treatment.  IEN elves fall into this category.
