- A few other soldiers who were craving mutton and witnessed this fight retreat away from the pasture.
- Poetry yells at them that they were warned.
- Fenrick says that it was a scary battle.
- MEANWHILE back in Ainor, Ash compliments Soliana on her dealings with the king and she says she's hoping they can make it to an inn before her panic attack sets in and then he says he's going to go find something (four-legged) to eat and strides off towards the outskirts of town
- Soliana is contemplating finding an alley to retch in when the world goes shimmery and she is hit with intense vertigo and sudden she's standing on small-ish rock in the middle of the ocean with all of her friends and there's no wall of fire any more. There's just a haze.
- There's a clap of thunder and it starts to rain.
- Soliana grabs a bit of leather and uses Illusory Script to write a note to Captain Gringamore to bring the ship to where they are
- While they are waiting, Soliana pulls out Grim and ritually casts Detect Magic (just in case she needs that spell slot later).
- During that ten minutes, Niniel has a wander around the maybe half-mile across island and while she's wandering she finds a little cairn of rocks with a squid's beak balances on top. It feels warm when she picks it up. She apologizes to it for the other little cairn being taken down and then puts it back.
- Soliana's spell is finally done. The rain is not magical and she doesn't find anything magical at all during the duration of the spell.
- Niniel goes off to have a nap using a mossy rock while gently floating in the surf.
- Caleb rolls some large-ish rocks and does his best to make a sort of tent with his cloak (for Soliana), but he turns around to see she's been mimicking his actions and is maybe half-way through building her own little lean-to.
- Poetry rolls up in her bed roll and resigns herself to being wet and miserable.
- After a while, they start to see some lights through the misty, rainy haze. Stardust lands on Soliana's shoulder.
- After another hour, a small landing craft approaches the island and they all climb aboard.
- They soon make it back to the ship and Captain Gringamore and explanations are given.
- Once they finally make it to their cabins, Niniel checks her book about myths or legends to see that the entry for Ashkarath the Red Doom has been updated. Everyone is very excited!
- They spend about a week and a half getting back to where they left the Solaris when Ethan the cabin boy knocks on the cabin door(s) and says the Captain is asking for them. Mostly for Niniel, but everybody joins.
- There's a pool of inky blankness in the middle of the ocean. Niniel says she'll check it out, and Soliana will send Stardust to do a loop.
- The dive Niniel gives off the edge of the ship is impressive. She gets under there and can see absolutely nothing. Like she's wearing a mask. She calls out and there is no response. She picks a direction and starts swimming.
- Stardust does her loop but doesn't find anything.
- Something eventually smacks Niniel in the forehead. Well, she swims into something. She surfaces to look at it, and it's a piece of wood. It's maybe 12"W and 36" L. The ends feel broken and jagged. She find more debris leading in sort of a direction and finds a big chunk of the remains of a ship with very large round marks darkening the surface. She does not find identifying marks for what or who the boat was. She determines that the marks are definitely Kraken-sized. She attempts to stand on a piece of the boat, but it's not stable enough for her to make it up out of the water. She calls out after survivors and she hears a whistle sound. She heads in that direction and finds a life-boat covered in a sail cloth with a single person (one of the three sailors left on the Solaris) who has a very badly injured leg, possibly infect and is very dehydrated.
- The sailor is raving about giant eyes watching him."It came! The eyes!"
- Niniel tells the sailor to lay down and think light, weight-less thoughts. She gives him some rations and and some water. She hops back in the water and pushes the life boat the best she can while also summoning a human-sized angler fish dancing light above herself while pushing to try to draw attention that way.
- Attention is drawn and Niniel and the injured sailor are re-united with the Storm Caller.
- Poetry gives the sailor a look over and determines he is dehydrated, pretty severely sunburned, and his leg is crushed, gashed, and infected.
- While the sailor is being doctored, Niniel catches her breath and then looks in her Patron Pouch and finds a severed finger. She immediately hides it in the Bag of Holding.
- The sailor's leg is better, but he's still raving.
- Aldren the first mate comes over to Niniel to debrief. Niniel tells the story of how she was on a boat that was destroyed by a Kraken when she was a little cabin boy on another ship. She recommends booking it back to shallower water to be safe.
- Captain Gringamore proceeds to do just that.
- 1,000 XP ea for 7,000 XP total ea. LEVEL FIVE
