The Second Seal

is the forty seventh episode of the second campaign of Critical Role. The Mighty Nein dive back underwater to find the second temple of Uk'otoa in search of Fjord's reward...

Part I
The Mighty Nein immediately entered into combat with a deep scion and several chuul. Emerging injured but victorious, they regrouped inside the tower for a rest.

Nott eventually found a way down into a spherical chamber through a large growth of seaweed. Inside the chamber, Caleb found several magical items and the indentation for a Cloven Crystal while Jester and Nott gathered up many coins that were lying on the ground. Beau removed the armor from a skeleton in the chamber. Fjord discussed his intentions and future plans regarding Uk'otoa, indicating that he did not intend to fully release the leviathan. Eventually, Fjord had everyone else leave the chamber while he inserted the Crystal with Frumpkin for company. Caduceus cast a protection spell on Fjord before heading outside the chamber.

Once alone, Fjord said "let's see what this does" in his original accent and inserted his pommel Crystal into the indentation pointed out by Caleb. Fjord had a vision of Uk'otoa saying "Watching. Adapt. Reward. Release." Uk'otoa seemed less restrained in the vision, binding Fjord with a tentacle and seeming to struggle against its bonds.

When the vision ended, the chamber began to come apart like the chamber on Urukaxl. Fjord, Beau, and Jester were somewhat hurt in the process of escaping the collapsing tower. The tower began to spurt a geyser of water that threatened to force the party to the surface, but Jester used Control Water to prevent it from moving them. Caduceus used Water Walk to bring them to the surface, where they saw the geyser extending for a hundred feet above the water. They returned to the Ball-Eater as the geyser began to fade.

As the Ball-Eater began to ready for departure, another ship seemed to spot it and begin to approach.

Part II
Matt uses the approaching ship as a reason to distribute a modified version of rules for naval combat from Unearthed Arcana. After a minor crash that slightly damaged the Squall-Eater's hull, Caduceus manages to capsize the other ship with Control Water.
