			As they were discussing this, Pavel approached the group and told them he would be leaving to investigate the church, and discover what happened to his son. Solomon commented it sounded like suicide since they were all wanted by the church. But Pavel insisted he still had friends in the church and they would part ways soon.

			The party went back to the Airship and chased the Dragon. After they had prepared and taken a short rest, they set course for the dragon. The Dragon was able to ambush them and used it's breath weapon (A Necromatic ichor) on Solomon point blank. A battle ensued. Pavel was able to maneuver the ship and get some shots off from the Balistas. During the Fight the God Orcus transported the ship from "The Real" to "The Silence" a dark realm of death. Solomon was able to deal heavy damage and fell the beast. But it immediately resurrected as some kind of skeletal dragon. At the same time the black ichor that was left on the deck after use of the breath weapon congealed into a Fade Knight.

	While battling the Bandits the stress of the situation triggered the young boy's powers. He ripped the roof off a train car, and crushed the bandit's vehicle like a tin can. Proximo was able to calm the boy down and the remaining bandits disconnected the last few cars and got away. Afterward Pavel made his way to the boy intent on killing him but was calmed down by Betsy.		While battling the Bandits the stress of the situation triggered the young boy's powers.

	To avoid suspicion, the Party decided to get off of the train and make the remaining way to Sutherfane on foot. Solomon and Proximo made sure to keep and eye on Pavel and make sure he didn't make any moves to kill the boy. Upon reaching Sutherfane they got a room at The Wasted Willow Inn. Solomon went to pickup the horses and equipment they had shipped from MidWeld. On the way back to the Inn he made contact with Lady Fay Efterstone of the underground Railroad at The Devil's Wish Theater. They was told to bring the boy immediately so he could be sent via ship across the sea to ~~another continent~~.
