The rear portions of the SSRS Kostroma have been cleared. The Boiler room draws near. Still that sound persists. Calling them.

Posey is the first to take the light, lighting a handkerchief soaked in kerosene and tossing it into the boiler, as a flow of the lighter heating oil is turned on.

squeaky
Silver can feel that underneath that thick jacket there is indeed an equine there - a bit larger and more muscular than he's used to hugging, but certainly smaller than a griffin.
"Well..." She turns her eyes to Silver's head if she cannot quite turn her own. "The water will start to boil... Maybe I should have made sure the water supply is still good... Uh, well the engine will take some time to work, but the electrical system is separate. It doesn't need nearly as much steam."

Silver looks over at the griffon, and nods. "If we just rushed right now against Traveler, we would be in trouble. There are still many unaccounted for sailors and pirates, some of whom are very important like Kostroma's captain. Our resident lamia also seems to believe she has plan to help them." Kira nods along in agreement.

Alright, so the boiler is lit. Now we just wait for the electricity to turn on.

Actually,no, we should leave now
>>195288
"Yes, we must leave immediately. The enemy will know we are marching against them as soon as the lights turn on, and they will surely begin taking countermeasures once that happens. We must hustle to close distance between them before they respond." Posey says
"Onwards!" she says, trotting out of the boiler room to leave the cargo hold
>>195289
"Our priority is to locate and eliminate Light Water now, before he moves or escapes. Once the leader is eliminated, the remaining ranks will be in disarray." she says, still walking
"I will go to the main deck to contact my servant. I can use it to distract light water by slamming the control tower, and stalking the skies above it crush him if he tries to flee. Since Monstro is mindless, the Intruder will not be able to determine its exact position, which will cause it to lash out at random. The rest of us can enter the lair to face him directly, and once I am within range to reach him with my spells I will try my best to incapacitate him and conjure more mindless servants in the midst of the assault to grapple the hippogriff." she continues
She swishes her tail
"Giddy up!"

Cavaliere grabs her tail to stop her from trotting out the room just yet.
"Not before we have a semblance of a plan, and a minute or two won't kill us. As for your idea, Light Water is important, but he's not the leader. That is down here with us, and is far closer assuming the hold entrances aren't barred. By your admission, you are better acquainted with such entities than the rest of us, and splitting you off while the rest of us cope against it is foolhardy."

Cavaliere again sidesteps her wildly flailing hooves. The pretty mare throwing a tantrum and ineffectually bucking into the air would be an amusing sight were it not for the circumstances. Or, for that matter, if she had not proven herself to be otherwise legitimately dangerous.
"I won't let you go until we can trust you won't run off blindly into danger!" he responds forcefully.

Not only does he keep a hold on her (presumably coiffed) tail, but she can feel an extra hard tug on it for effect. If she wasn't undead or minded pain, it would actually hurt a bit.

Cavaliere is not perturbed by the angry mare, who's now trying to bend her neck around to bite, but he keeps away from her dangerous bits. Evidently this isn't his first rodeo.

I don't think we want to go there. The bucking was fun but not too much damage was risked there. This will actually grief our entire party.

Improved Grab only applies after natural melee weapon attacks, not regular grapples. You are confusing the monster ability with the feat (improved grapple).
You are booped :p

Cavaliere was already grappling her so, unless if I'm mistaken, there was no attack of opportunity against Kira. But let's say Kira lets her go once she's calmed down.
Cavaliere frowns at the vulnerable mare. She may, if it is possible for her to do so, detect a look of sympathy in his eyes. "Under normal circumstances I wouldn't touch you without permission, but these aren't normal circumstances. If you had run off you could've thrown your own life away and endangered ours as well, so I had no other choice. Now that we're here, let's agree on a plan of action before we do anything else."
Good luck with work! Let's continue tonight if possible.

Kira does actually have Improved Grapple, which avoids attacks of opportunity. In addition, Posey was already being grappled, so she wouldn't have gotten one on Kira anyways. Yes I know it's a minor thing, but still...
Anyways, the cinnamon roll does let go now that Posey has calmed down. She waves sheepishly to the onlookers, and Silver just shrugs. "This situation just has us all worked up and on edge."

What actually has to be done before we can go attack Light Water?

I can use Negative Energy Burst while grappled because it's (Su). It has no real use other than punishing grapplers.

We just have to decide on what we're doing first. Didn't we agree before that we were taking on the Fellow Traveler and then dealing with Light Water once he's in a weakened state? This is a better plan if we want to capture Light Water alive, as otherwise he'll be dangerous due to being a psychic conduit.

Okay, and I can get why Posey was angry, but using that here would've been stupid for IC and OOC reasons. Thank you for backing off at that point.
>Why? I was looking forward to killing him.
He'll be as valuable as the entire ship if we get him alive, since he has had a long direct link with the Fellow Traveler yet is not fully controlled. Without the entity, he'll be relatively harmless but will retain knowledge of it. Of course, one may argue we should kill him precisely because his knowledge is too dangerous, but I don't think that would worry Posey as much as the leverage and financial return that he would get us.

It pushes. it presses. It does not yield. If anything, the panel yields. There is a yip, and it seems that more oil is coming out from elsewhere.
This is not the light, translucent diesel that flows easily. This is bunker oil, the left-over mass of heavy alkanes left behind in the refining process after the lighter gases, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuels have boiled off. It is so called because the only use ever found for it was in the boilers of ocean-traversing ships, where it is stored in former coal bunkers. This too, is a former coal bunker, and it was never intended to store such a liquid. It smells disgusting, is sticky, and is almost jelly like, moving slowly. But it isn't slow when it comes out of the panel.

"Mala, help us out here!" the griffon commands.
"Got something you can plug that with?" he asks Zara, nodding to the cap.

There is a whinny, and it seems that perhaps there is another leak

Mala runs over towards Cavaliere, ready to do as commanded. There is a squicking sound. His paws run through oil.
Zara's ears are to her side, and she sits, pressing both hooves to her face. She is starting to get covered in oil.
"Uh...." Her eyes twinkle and her expression is grim.
"I uh, I uh, I'll find something. She stands up, though it isn't obvious exactly what she intends to do.
>>195357
With enormous effort, Silver manages to close the cap. It helps that the cap is very small. The resistance is extreme. It would be easy to say that it is the pressure of the oil, but if anything, the pressure coming it is too great for its slow, molasses like flow that seems closer to a creeping fog. Perhaps it is the sticky, gritty oil itself that is blocking the cap.
All the same and with great effort, the cap is closed.

"Our best bet is to find a valve to stop the flow!" He turns to Blackheel, "Did this sort of thing happen during your voyage?"
He starts searching: [1d20+4 = (3+4) = 7]

Silver lets out a sigh of relief. "Okay, that is one of them, at least. Now we need to figure out what to do about rest..."

I am confused, why is there oil leaking now? I thought we fixed it.

Posey steps away from the oil and tends to her tail intensively. Her unseen servant behind mopping the oil.

Oh wait, this is the beginning of an encounter, is it? It's a black pudding, isn't it?
Just fyi, I have to sleep soon.

Silver tries the other cap, while Kira wraps her tail around a panel and tries to squeeze it shut.

Rolling Arcana to discern any supernatural qualities of this phenomenon.
[1d20+11 = (12+11) = 23]
Posey is very upset to get oil on her tail and steps far away, from the oil, devoting herself to salvaging her tail.

Perhaps a fuel valve leaving a bunker, but he doesn't see much
>>195370
Posey is able to move away. It does not cover the whole floor, though more comes out.
On the one hoof, it looks like... well, petroleum oil. An especially heavy version. Not quite bitumen or tar, but more comparable to that than the transparent AvGas and yellow diesel fuel. It's sticky and unpleasant on the coat, but it does not burn.
But the way that it flows... It's resistant without being fast. It pools but its spread does not cover the entire floor. Indeed, it moves almost like ants, moving in a pattern. It looks supernatural to her.

>It looks supernatural to her.
"It is the Intruder." Posey declares, taking another step back
Is it a creature, a spell? A psionic power? Does she know how she can fix it?

Kira lets out an irritated hiss, though the motion looks more like her blowing a raspberry than a typical snake hiss. "This is impossible! What kind of evil magics did that butt put on these? Ouroboros, halp!"

Cavaliere keeps looking about, and grabs at his flashlight to shine at the pipe. His boots make a plop sound as he steps through the oil. "There might be a valve here. It's hard to see."

The best Posey can guess is a bitumen-kerosene mix being moved by telekenesis magic. But at the same time, Posey cannot see the tattletale glowing magical aura of magic. It moves almost like a hivemind of ants. Stop the puppet or stop the puppeteer, but besides that, Posey cannot say.
>>195373
Kira proves herself to be adorable when annoyed.
Pipette and Zara are both trying to move away from the oil. Pipette in particular has no desire to touch it. Zara seems overwhelmed by the situation
>>195374
Cavaliere can feel into the mess and try to move what he finds.
Zara
"W-w-what comes through the panel comes directly from the bunker"
