''So, last we left off, the Mighty Nein, upon arriving at Rumblecusp in hopes of setting up TravelerCon in the next week or so... You’ve met some individuals. You’ve discovered that the people that already exist here on the island have lost their memories, it seems, and have come to enjoy a rather simple life here in the village of Vo in the shadow of some sort of a fire god known as Vokodo. You, with the help of one of their druidic spiritual leaders, traveled to meet with this Vokodo, and seemed to have suspicions that it’s not a god but some sort of malicious entity that is itself affecting and controlling this island, robbing memories and requiring those that live here to bring all their goods and precious things as gifts, to mine from the island and gift everything to this entity.''

You managed to make your way out after making some offerings to it, and through the use of a Greater Restoration'' spell return the memories of the druid leader that you had traveling with you, discovering that they were named Vilya, apparently from another continent known as Tal'Dorei. You then, together as a team, transformed some of you into birds and began to fly across the island for faster and mostly safer travel, making your way towards the eastern side where the Heavens Falls exist. A little bit of a bumpy landing but nevertheless you found yourselves searching the exterior of these falls and coming to a night’s rest. The next morning some of you did begin to lose your memory, but after cleansing these with spells, you began to inspect the falls. Some pearls were found, some accidents were had, but after briefly separating the falls themselves and discovering the illusion behind it, you found a cavern which held numerous, numerous boats and ships from all different ages there, crowded and left in the shadows.''

''As you began to inspect the interior of this cavern, Fjord, you noticed the entrance to a torch bloom-covered subterranean water tunnel. Caduceus, you went to inspect it, and found yourself suddenly affected by some sort of strange compulsion to find out what’s at the end of these tunnels. You began swimming feverishly into it. Fjord, you attempted to stop him through multiple grapples and spells thrown. You were left blinded and kicked backward, as Caduceus thus has vanished from your grasp, eyes left to darkness, as you swam to the surface and shouted for aid. The rest of you guys, hearing this, gather towards Fjord to discover how best to deal with the recently vanished Caduceus. And that is where we left off.''
