I realized during this mission that as ill-suited as I am for espionage, our dear Cassio is hopeless indeed... though inflation of his personal importance comes naturally, it does come from a place of honesty. Cassio truly believes himself to be that important. Bless his armored heart, he cannot help but tell the truth as he sees it. This does not seem to be a desirable trait when infiltrating a stronghold of the Cult of the Kraken. Dereth, Cassio, Ember, Amon, Loco and I accompanied the House of Water on a mission to investigate a gathering of suspected Cult Members on yet another mysterious island outside Kraken's Landing. The Blues were initially unimpressed with our skills as spies, though we eventually concocted a passable cover as a troop of travelling minstrels.
We met our cult contacts on board ship, and managed somehow to convince them that we were the entertainers we claimed to be. We traveled uneventfully to the island, and were ushered in as part of the entertainment for a celebration feast to be held that evening. After our initial arrival I was able to to hide myself in the main chamber as preparations for the feast were made. During the preparations and after our surprisingly well received performance, we were able to discover a few key bits of information. First, we were able to confirm that this group was in fact the Cult of the Kraken that we had encountered on multiple occasions. I was also able to the celebration was in honor of the completion of "the Canon" and second, I was able to identify the leader of this group. Lastly, and perhaps most ominously, I was able to discover that this celebration was in honor of the completion of something called "The Canon" I immediately thought of the shipboard magical canon we found in Windy Bluff... I had thought that secured by the Magistery in Windy Bluff! It turns out we had the thing in our hands and let it go...
Cassio also attracted a fan, to everyone;'s surprise but his, and we also got one of the Cultists to start giving us his testimony. It seems these cultists revere the being we know as the Nameless. He not only spoke its name but did so with almost fevered devotion! Fearful of this utterance, we ended out meeting before we could learn more, however.
