Xaviss

Xaviss was captain of a ship that traveled between Tsaltiui She had and Alu Lyth and smuggled less-than-legitimate goods, until an enchanted mirror brought onto the ship drew so many sea oozes to the ship that they were unable to fight them off.

Due to a curse that dooms captains whose crews die at sea, Xaviss has lingered as a ghost on her ship, unable to move on unless the curse is broken.

History
Xaviss was captain of a ship that smuggled goods between Tsaltiui Shehad and Alu Lyth for the Odyva family. The crew took on an enchanted mirror, which at first only caused minor problems - the crew used it to slack off by going to another dimension - one that they could get stuck in, unless someone outside the mirror spoke the command word. Eventually, however, the mirror drew a huge number of sea oozes to the ship, and the crew was unable to fight them all off. The death of her entire crew triggered the Mariner's Curse, an old curse placed on the ocean by a sailor that traps the captain's ghost, and either during the conflict or because of it, the ship ran up into a reef and was considered lost due to the dangerous sea oozes.

The party found Xaviss' journal in what was presumably her office, and then found her skeleton and her ghost in the crew's quarters. Xaviss, speaking in rhyme, told the party of her crew's fate and her own. When asked, she also told them about the mirror and its command word, and warned them about the grung, the sea oozes still on board, and Vivienne's perilous state after getting into a fight with one of the grung.

Appearances

 * Session 39 - The party finds Xaviss' skeleton in the crew's quarters, and almost immediately, her ghost. Xaviss is able to give the party several important pieces of information about the ship, the enchanted mirror, and the recent gung attack. Doryen asks if they can free her; she mentions the Mariner's Curse that ties captains of crews who die at sea to haunt their ships.
