Vassal of Hideyoshi dono, [She had forgotten to ask his name....] I have what you requested, though perhaps this timing is not of the best. Is there a preference on how to deliver them? Meeting at a port seems difficult in this environment, coming to this ship may be simplest.

If you wish for more potent results I would recommend coming with the hair of those you wish affected most greatly. Or even perhaps drops of blood if such can be obtained.

This is Princess Luna, of the Stargazer. The black fog has begun to encroach upon our ship. I attempted to keep it at bay with wind, but that method proved ineffective, so I am going to try something more hooves-on. Whatever this is, 'tis...not precisely nightmare magic, but it seems similar enough that I wish to see if I can dispel it magically. I shall report upon my results shortly!

Hahahahahaaaa! Victory is mine! Bow before your queen, pathetic humans - for you will never see your precious sun again!

[Cue evil laugh. You can probably consider that a report on her results.]
