''So, last we left off, the Mighty Nein, who had long been trying to bring some semblance of peace between the two warring nations of the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire, had finally allied with some unique allies, made for some strange bedfellows, as you accompanied armadas to meet in the southern reaches of the Lucidian Ocean, south of Wildemount. There, you helped watch the proceeding completion and success of these peace negotiations. Prisoners of war were traded, the last (as far as they’re aware) beacon was given back to the Kryn Dynasty, and you all decided to make your way towards Rumblecusp in preparation for the coming date of TravelerCon, over a week from now– or over a week from the moment we start this session. At the time, about two weeks out.'' ''You had begun traveling southwest, beneath the island Urukayxl, where you once fought your way into an ancient temple and unlocked one of the various seals of Uk'otoa. You went around the Inkclaw Reef, continuing toward this island Rumblecusp, and it was on this fourth day of your journey that Caduceus began to notice something off the stern. It appeared to be a land mass of some kind, but after– well, on the fourth day, it was noticed. That doesn’t mean it was there for four days. You noticed it seemed to be keeping pace. No, in fact, it seemed to be gaining on your ship. As word got around, you all began to realize that this wasn’t an island or a land mass at all. Instead, this was a massive creature, beneath the waves, a domed shell, itself covered in spikes, armored scales. You saw massive fin-like limbs pushing through beneath the water, as its snout - pointed, angry - emerged from the water, this gargantuan dragon turtle was rocketing through the waters in the direction of your ship. And, my friends, that is where we are picking up.''
