It's been seven months since the Drudge left behind the living planet, Azathoth. Six months ago planets began getting attacked by aberrations of all shapes and sizes. All battle capable ships friendly to the alliance are drafted into the war against these evil creatures, including the Drudge. So far your vessel has only been conscripted to guard planets, and you have not seen any combat.
This morning your ship is summoned to the Rock of Bral. When you arrive in the system you are immediately flanked by four Elven Man-O-War Ships, with weapons aimed at the Drudge, that escort you to a dock. As the docking plank is connected to the ship Captain Krav Magra pulls your Team aside, and whispers "Stay aboard and guard the ship. I have no idea what's going on here so better to be safe than sorry." First Mate Xera Sue-Arn approaches and hands you a crystal ball and says, "You can watch us through this.", as she taps on a diamond embedded on of her eye-patch. Looking in the crystal ball you see yourselves as Xera looks at you. The scene Then changes as she turns and follows the Captain down the plank, along with the rest of the crew. You notice several Rock (of Bral) guards flank the Captain and his men. You also see several guards stationed at the bottom of the plank.
You follow the Captain's progress, via Xera's eye-patch, as they make their way through the city. Eventually they end up in the council chambers. Xera and the Captain are escorted to the front and the crew are held, at guard spear point, behind them.
Ten councilmen of varying races preside over the proceedings. "Captain Magra", a human in the middle says, "It has been brought to this Counsel's attention that you brought your ship to a restricted planet, known as Azathoth. Apparently you did something that nobody else has been able to do, and you escapped from there, with a little divine assistance I believe. Unfortunately you were followed, or tracked, by the evil inhabitants of that realm, and now they have an open gate from which they can attack us.
"Captain Magra, you and your crew have brought war to our planetary alliance, which has caused untold deaths. What have you to say for yourself?"
Magra steps forward, and says, "I was not aware that Azathoth was a restricted realm. I was following the directions of one of my crew.", he turns and glares directly into Xera's diamond, his gaze piercing the Crystal Ball, with an accusatory look towards someone in your group. "However, I realize as the Captain of my crew, I take full responsibility, and ask for leniancy for my crew."
"Captain Magra, you are in no position to ask for favors. After all dead men have no say in the matter. That's right Captain. The Penalty is death.", the lead Councilman says with a smirk. "Detain them!" he screams, "and sieze their ship."
Through Xera's diamond you see her turn and a magical glowing cage surrounds the crew, trapping them.
Xera is turned around forcefully and you see the Captain's anxious face, saying frantically, "Get out while you can. Look in my cabin for a map that will lead you to the vault. It holds the location for all of your home planets. The way you get past the traps is a puzzle, which you can solve by....."
The Captain's sentence is cut short when a magical spell stuns him and Xera, and you see them both fall to the ground, and the Crystal Ball goes black.
In seconds you all hear orders being shouted from off in the distance, towards the council chambers, up the hill, you see guards rushing out towards your ship. The guards on the docks draw their weapons and start up the gangplank.
