- Thrill2 from Cedar Point Amusement Park
- The Keepers are shown into a retiring room to sort themselves out after the fight in the gardens (short rest).
- Niniel immediately asks wtf Soliana did shutting down the portal instead of using it as previously discussed, but Soliana wasn't comfortable experimenting at that level in such a populated area. Some slightly heated talk later, and they agree to attempt at a different source of power in a less populated area.
- Soliana ritually casts Detect Magic and then examines Niniel, but Niniel seems completely mundane, so there are no lingering Widogast's Transmogrification or True Polymorph lingering about her.
- They decide to head back to the shops to find another cap of water breathing, which they do for 350 GP. (No more party fund.)
- They head back to the Moon Veil Academy stables and make their way back to Lamara.
- Soliana heads straight for the Arcane Study. They have found an anomaly in the vicinity of the barrier islands about halfway between Port Carling and Caledonia. They also remind him about how the anomalies change the past.
- Sir Foxglove agrees to stay for a few more days to search out other location of power in unpopulated areas where they might be able to manufacture an anomaly like Niniel did here at the Twilit Grove that Soliana can then manipulate to try to siphon power away from the Kraken.
- Soliana then excuses herself to retire for the evening as they fought giant lightning bugs this afternoon in Arrandale.
- The next morning, after the last minute check-ins with Emmyth, Foxglove, Tanalia, Ailas, and Nym, Soliana casts Teleportation Circle with a destination to Revelora.
- They appear in a temple to the Kraken, but there aren't any acolytes or anything around when they arrive. Niniel knows exactly where they are, near the center of town.
- While it is pretty cold down here, it's not pitch black because there are bioluminescent algae lining the walls and floors and ceiling, though not uniformly.
- The exit the temple into a town square sort of area with tiers of buildings all around with a high point of opalescence that is clearly where the important people in charge live and work.
- They all agree to head to the Helix bar since Niniel's friends are expecting the Keepers.
- Gin is so excited to see Niniel they immediately hug and start gushing.
- Other patrons in the bar are not happy to see the surface dwellers in their city.
- Soliana attempt to make nice by asking the nearest table what they should see in the city while they are visiting. They just call her surface scum and leave the bar.
- They chat with Gin for a bit, and then head up to the storehouse. Soliana uses Silent Image to show Gin an example of the
- Around the time they are entering the storehouse, Niniel gets a sense of pressure that she knows means the Kraken knows she's here in Revalora.
- Soliana is fairly certain the city itself won't collapse and kill everyone if the Kraken (Sea Lord) dies, so that's the biggest worry off her checklist. Also, the city won't starve without supplies from the surface, and the people are really rude and xenophobic, so Soliana is also not worried about cutting them off there either.
- They head to the library and Niniel convinces the librarian to let them look at a book on the history of Revalora.
- Somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 years ago the transformed triton people started showing up and the city grew to the point where the newcomers became the dominant population over the merfolk and sirens who founded the city, but the city did exist before that.
- From there, they thank the librarian who tries to convince them to let the Sea Lord "make them whole"
- Soliana makes her best excuses and they head to the apartment Gin and Niniel share. Poetry waits there while everyone else tries to head out of town to see if there is any sort of barrier. They swim for a long time, leave the city and swim far enough that the city is a glow in the distance. There does not seem to be any sort of barrier.
- Once that is completed, Niniel drops everyone else off at her apartment and heads to the city government building and she talks with Theedin Nightcrown (former high elf transformed into a triton). He doesn't know what the Kraken's endgame is for Niniel, but the priests say that if he gains enough power he would be able to walk the lands with the same ease that he swims in the oceans.
- Niniel also asks him if she can get a small supply of the small beaks so that she can make more the anomalies, but he doesn't have access to that sort of thing.
- After that less than fruitful meeting, Niniel stops and gets her favorite sushi roll type snack and goes back to the temple to ask for the beaks, but the priest confirms that only the Kraken can make the totems.
- She convinces the priest to give her a totem that has been blessed by the Sea Lord so that she can try to make another anomaly. It is contained in a clam shell, so it's not visible.
- From there they head back to the Helix to say their goodbyes to Gin and then Soliana uses the little stage space to draw a Teleportation Circle back to the Twilit Grove.
- 3,000 XP ea for 68,700 XP total ea.
