A dream of sand

The ship crosses a desert, not a zee. Black sand whispers against the hull - sand like grains of glittering night. Your crew sit on deck at a long table lined with candles, eating a rich red feast. “A reckoning,” one remarks, as she spears a gobbet of meat with her fork, “is not to be postponed indefinitely.” To the North, a light bulges hernially above the horizon: a searing kind of sunlight...

You turn in through an ornate arch, and all the lights go out - but not before you see the spined shape throned in a pool at the chamber's heart.

Sleep deeply

Dose yourself with blackspore, and you're less likely to dream.
