What Happened

At the end of the session, two more Castro descended from the sky as Ash's void manifestation drew attention. Ash was attacked and dropped to 0 HP. Valara warned the group that they must keep the enemy from taking Ash; if they gain Ash's void manifestation powers, they can rip the void wide open and bring an ass-load of voidlings through.
