==Recollections by Dereth==
I am thankful for [[Ci]] for giving everyone the big picture of what we encountered in the Mind Flayer cave. I'd only like to elaborate on a few details that may come up again.

[[Amon]] met Fleur of the Blue with Vaughn. Vaughn is a man whose partner Lissa was taken by the Cult of the Kraken. We doff our armor and set ourselves up as a performance troupe. Jan (Ci) was our acrobat, [[Cassio|Lassio]] (really?!) was our tarot reader, Mammon (Amon) acted as fortune teller with Morgjorb ([[Loco]]) assisting him, Margaret (Fleur) played harp, Ember acted as fire-dancer, and Gawain (myself) acted as medic and tambouriner. 

Nothing of note happened on our transit to Kraken's Landing, but we noticed that the ship was laden with food stuffs and other basic supplies. The cult can not cultivate anything yet, it seems. A cultist escort deactivates traps along our route into the keep. The cult of the Kraken has made their own keep from the risen rock. We are taken the their main hall where Ci stealthily hears Captain Heck ramping up the group for a celebration, but he also hears mild dissent that "red eye" is truly revered and only Umberlee truly matters. After being referred to as "R'Lyeh's chosen", it was our time to perform. I am wildly impressed with Cassio's self-control and our ability to use our talents for fun. Perhaps we should be doing more of that for people...

Aside from the reverent preaching, we also learned about what could have been the origin of the gods. Was it fate or chance that could have directed this Nameless creature to "win" the gods. Let us never hear the song celebrating the Red Eye of Azathoth during THIS feast that the priest, Wratha, tried to sing. 

Using Cassio's ability to sense perversions of magic, we descended while Fleur "interrogated" the captain and the other cultists. Ci covers Amon's Folly well, but as a man devoted to another god, I do not blame Amon. If the Lady of the Lake told me I was in a den of snakes, I would turn and root out that evil without thought. Amon's questioning of his patron's wishes was savvy and saved us, at great personal cost. While I may not believe he chose the best god to devote himself to, I am happy he has found a more clear path.
