Loot
100lb of ceremonial gold objects. Family heirlooms of the ZinDusset family, which must be sold on the Black Market. (18,000 Darics)
Ritual body preparation tools. Likewise must be sold on the Black Market. (5,000 Darics)
The personal effects of 3 noblefolk of the ZinDusset family. They were traveling somewhat lightly, as this was a vessel of mourning, but you were able to find some affectations and luxuries with good resale value. None of it had any useful adventuring purpose unless you want to masquerade as mourning nobles at some point. I will assume you sold it unless told otherwise. (10,000 Darics)
16 Scroll cases taken from inside statues describe the notable deeds of various Kings of Space. All the information is pretty well known, and the documents themselves are not rare originals or anything. The scroll cases are nice, and are worth (100 Darics) all together.
That’s a total of 33,100 Darics, or 8,275 Darics Each.

Noble Family’s Funeral Ship
Highlights Recap
The session began with the party setting out to explore the halls of the ship filled with stone statues, and overgrown with fungus. Their precautions against the fungus seemed to keep them mostly safe, and enabled them to explore a number of rooms which were either ceremonial (a chapel, a statuary, etc) or strictly functional (beds, tables).
On the bridge the party accessed ship’s “Black Box,” (the only device not overrun with fungus), and identified the ship as The Dynasty. It seemed to be a ceremonial vessel, kept in drydock most of the time, and only pulled out to perform funerary rites on a deceased noble of the ZinDusset family.
The party left an empty robot body in the engine room, and played some basic educational videos for it, and also set up a face-time camera so they could keep an eye on it. The fungus gradually grew into the robot, and learned how to manipulate it and communicate with the party. They explored other rooms, and found some interesting treasures while they did so.
Once they were able to communicate with the fungus, the general outline of the story emerged. The spores of the fungus were germinating inside the corpse that was being honored on the ship. When they started to grow out of the body, they consumed all life on the ship. They curiously referred to the original host both as “parent” and “food,” but the party didn’t investigate that too far. Once they determined that the fungus wasn’t willing to live in equilibrium with any environment, they tricked it into letting them launch its ship into a sun. Then they took their loot and left.
