DnD Into the Netherdeep Season 19

Insight breaks down and starts crying. All of us head up and go to Alakritos. It takes about half a day as coming down was easier. Cryon and Alakritos are in a tense conversation. Insight accuses us of killing Gael through are actions. Alakritos tells Insight that Lymle was a member of The Consortium. Jazco tells everyone seems to be ignoring everything happening around them. Cryon gets up and vehemently agrees, proclaiming its time to pull up socks. 

Cryon calms everyone down, acknowledges our efforts at stopping the plans of the Vermillion Consortium, and as a token of our appreciation gives us more gold. Alakritos offers to calm Insight down with tea. Cryon asks us to rest up. 

We go take a long rest. We then go into a contest. Rangu, Jazco and Rara beat a group of goblins, then a haggard looking group of homeless people, who look the same before and after the battle. The last round is a group of three well armoured orcs. We win and everyone celebrates. We send a few days recovering and roaming the city. 

I get a leather strap, strap of white cloth and honeycomb. I also get The Ring of the Ram. We meet Cryon of the week. "The Survival of the Allegiance depends on the success of your next mission. It seems that The Consortium has been sending agents into Cael Marrow, and it seems they have found a rift, that leads to somewhere else. That is where you come in." 

We need to figure out two things, the first is how to enter the rift, and also what is beyond the rift. And you need to make your way back as soon you finish. We find out that Cryon and Alakritos differ on what to do with the rift. Alakritos does not want to mess with it, but Cryon wants to know what is beyond. Jazco tells us maybe we should get help from the Cobalt Soul. Cryon agrees to cooperate on information, but Cryon tells that we are short on time. 

We reach the library again, after showing Gorthog the letter. There are two sentinels controlled by Insight. We pass beyond the water. Yazhi gets a message from Alyxian. There is an ancient elf over the tablets. We meet two elves and an orc. We have invoked them by touching the tablets. One of the ghost goes into Rangu, one goes into Jazco. There is a bright flash of light. 

They are in a beautiful city. There is betrayer god, Grumesh with a big sword about to smash the city. The powerful have already abandoned the population. The blow is parried by Alyxian, but Grumesh is able to destroy the city even so. We see the destruction of the city. We promise the ghosts that we will remember them and tell the story. We are left in the glow of the other room besides the library. 

We see a massive stone temple, rising from a courtyard. The inside of the temple is glowy and pulsing. We cannot enter it, so we go over a hill, We meet three little crabs, and somehow defeat all of them. We read something about Apotheon talking about some great defeat. This is a tablet written by Alyxian. 

We see a kelp forest to the north, and two hills in the northeast. We go to the kelp forest, where we get attacked by something with tentacles and a trident. We get a ruidium shield, sword, and something.
