3E490/03/11 - Within the Rings of Zaeria on Zaerock, Sezza Starburn hired this party for an urgent mission and gave them one of her new shrike ships to complete it. An illithid ship had crashed on the moon Rhosai, piloted by a rogue independent mind flayer named Qhalt. Subsequently, one of Sezza's mines went dark. The party headed towards Rhosai with the spelljammer helm piloted by Orwandil. However, the party was ambushed by Vampirates along the way and had to fight them off. Upon reaching Rhosai, they had to drink fire resistance potions given to them by Sezza to withstand the red death. Entering the mines, they found no miners at all. Heading down the elevator shaft, they saw duergar being mind-controlled by Qhalt. Once discovered, the duergar escorted them into a large amethyst geode that was focusing Qhalt's psionic powers. He negotiated with the party, and in his newfound independence from the Elder Brain he wanted to take over Sezza's place as the new crimelord of inner Voidspace. Milo, who considered himself a child of Sezza, immediately turned against him and combat broke out. It was incredibly difficult to take Qhalt down, but everyone together managed to destroy him before he could focus his psionic power through the geode.
