Part I
The following serves as a prologue for Part II and :

It is six months after the fall of Cognouza and the arrest of Trent Ikithon, and the Mighty Nein have continued on in their separate lives.

Veth, living in Nicodranas, is preparing for her first batch of campers at the Wildemount Wildlings. It is a sleep-away camp aimed at young teenagers, and includes both athletic activities and alchemy...and is free, thanks to a money-laundering arrangement with The Gentleman. As she goes through the city with Luc, whom she reminds not to sneak around inappropriately with the campers, she passes by Yeza's new shop: Brenatto's Better Help. She and Yeza discuss grapefruits as an ingredient as Luc sneaks off across the street.

Beau comes through the teleportion circle in the Cobalt Soul Zadash archive, and brushes off a guardian asking her a question, telling them she is off the clock and wants to preserve her work-life boundaries, but will be back in at 8 am the next day. She hurries home to the house she lives in with Yasha. Yasha has been working on a garden with advice from Caduceus, and the interior decor is cozy. Their home is small but has an office for Beau and a "woman cave" for Yasha. Yasha mentions that their neighbor, Martina Steward, has helped her a lot in learning how to cook, though when Beau comes home, Martina insinuates she'd like to be invited over. Yasha describes the dinner she has been making to Beau, who puts her feet up and complains that she's been going back and forth to Rexxentrum for work but the Cerberus Assembly has been laying low since Trent's arrest. Yasha plans to help at Veth's camp soon, and the two enjoy an otherwise relaxing evening.

In the Swavain Islands, Fjord, Jester, and Kingsley are on the Nein Heroez. They are working on developing a shipping company that Fjord is calling "Stone's Throw Shipping", though Jester dislikes the name. Fjord and Jester have a small apartment, as the Lavish Chateau felt like a strange place to stay for Fjord. Orly Skiffback approaches Fjord asking for a destination, and Fjord casts Augury using seashells. The result for heading west is "weal and woe", so Jester advises they go north, and encourages Fjord to be more confident in front of the crew. Kingsley tells him to just keep the ship from sinking, and Jester assures Fjord he's a good captain. Kingsley chats with Nyla Ko, the crew's powder monkey, as the ship heads north.

Caleb is finishing up a lecture at the Soltryce Academy; while Astrid Becke is working on getting him tenure, he currently is only a guest lecturer. He asks the students to consider how they will use their transmutation capabilities, and urges them to learn history as well as simply magic. The gnomish professor thanks Caleb, and a student thanks him as well, telling him she hopes he comes back. After the students leave, the gnome remarks that while Caleb's lectures are somewhat dramatic for his tastes, the students seem to like them and pay more attention, which is notable. Caleb leaves for home, muttering that he's not quite ready to work at the Academy full time yet. He has a small cottage, and grows green beans in the window boxes, and teaches students who were not accepted by the Soltryce Academy in his off time. He often puts up Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower in his cottage, and wonders if he will get a visit from Essek, as he sometimes does.

Back on the ship, Orly points out a storm in the north to Fjord, who recommends they try to steer around it. Orly grumbles but agrees, though he warns Fjord that it's approaching very fast and it might not be possible. Fjord finds Jester and Kingsley and the crew begins to batten down the hatches. The temperature drops, but Fjord feels a more intense cold, and then finds he cannot sense the Wildmother. Jester prepares to Control Water and casts Thaumaturgy in the meantime to enhance Fjord's speech to the crew, while Kingsley encourages them as well. The storm hits them, and Jester and Fjord are able to split the first large wave each using Control Water. In the next wave, Kingsley notices a massive humanoid figure. It does not ping Fjord's Divine Sense. Fjord casts Water Breathing on the crew, and as the wave crashes onto the ship, he suddenly feels as if he's drowning, and hears a familiar voice tell him "I found you." He sees a massive yellow eye begin to open in his vision, and is brought back to reality by a flash of lightning. Fjord tells Jester and Kingsley that Uk'otoa has found him.

Orly takes the helm, Kingsley runs to the cannons, and Fjord uses the Star Razor to cast Fly on himself, all right before the storm giant's hand slams onto the deck. Kingsley fires the cannons, dealing a large amount of damage, but the giant is undeterred, and, after throwing lightning bolts at both Fjord and Jester, is joined by a number of deep scions. A scion mage asks for the traitor and the key, and they, the other scions, and the giant continue to attack. While Kingsley and Jester both get in good hits, Kingsley with his sword and Rite and Jester with Inflict Wounds, Jester is quickly knocked unconscious. Fjord uses his turn to cast Cure Wounds on her and then pulls the Cloven Crystal out of the Bag of Holding and holds it out. The giant tells him to give up the key, which Fjord does. The scion mage leaves, with Fjord telling them he'll see them again.

The giant then goes beneath the ship, and the lower decks begin to splinter. Jester prepares to cast Word of Recall but realizes that she can't take the whole crew. Kingsley throws his folding boat into the water and speaks the command word, telling the crew to all get in. All but Shelda Delles are able to make it in successfully, though Marius LePual needs a rescue from Kingsley. They begin to head towards the Twinward Isles, about half a day's travel away. The storm subsides unnaturally rapidly. Jester heals everyone who needs healing, and Fjord asks her if she can also cast Sending, recommending she contact Caleb first. The two worry about the power of Uk'otoa's servants, and whether their friends will be able to find them.

As we go to break, the Your Turn to Roll intro plays.
