Previously on Critical Role
So, last we left off: The Mighty Nein, after making a deal with the Archmage of Antiquity of the Cerberus Assembly, Lady Vess DeRogna, to escort her to the northern region known as Eiselcross, to head towards what seems to be possibly an excavation for the long-lost pre-Calamity city of Aeor... You made your way northward to the very final precipice of the Greying Wildlands, chartered a ship known as the Midnight Hammer'', and made your way across the dangerous Frigid Depths. For days you journeyed with some chance encounters, along with an ambush by the apparently raised undead Captain Avantika, seeking one such item that you still carry, the last remnant required to unleash Uk'otoa. After she escaped with this artifact, you gave chase as orcas, and through some ingenuity and some quick movement managed to head her off at the curb, and in doing so, dispatched her undead form deep beneath the waves.''

Returning to the ship, you made your way to the final elements of this journey, and we left off as the Midnight Hammer began to slowly dock into Balenpost on the southern edge of Foren, the central largest island portion of Eiselcross.

Quotations
Yasha: Big time. Even I read it. Caduceus: Huh. Naw, I don't have time for that. That's all right. Veth: What do you mean you don't have time for that? We have forty hours. You guys could have sex forty times. Caduceus: Yeah, no, that's just not-- I get it. It's just really not my thing. Veth: Are you just not... not...? Caduceus: Naw, not really. Veth: Not into her, or just not into...? Caduceus: Oh, not into anybody. I enjoy what you all have going on. That's a lot of fun to watch. I mean, not... there... specifically, but the way you all bounce off each other is kind of great. But naw, it's not really for me.
 * Veth: Caduceus! She was into you! Did you not read that? She was into you!
 * Dagen Underthorn: "Sometimes, scavenging isn't worth what you find."
 * Mollymauk/Nonagon/Lucien: To alpha and alpha we trek 'til homeward bound we be.
 * Caleb: (to Veth) In the beginning, when we were traveling together, I was from side to side, top to bottom, a mess, and I think you were trying to give me a bit of confidence and help me get back on my feet. I have confidence. I am back on my feet. And I have surrounded myself with experts in their fields, very accomplished people. And I am confident to rely on them and not lead. I don't want to be a leader. I never have. But helping, I like, and confidence, I enjoy. So you have done me a great kindness and bolstered my resolve. You have helped bring me back into my own. And now, I am here. So let's just be here.
 * Matthew Mercer: "I wasn't hired to keep her safe!"
