S7 E16: Costly Knowledge
Episode 16
Friday, 12 June, 2026
CW: Thalassophobia/underwater exploration. This episode revolves around the party swimming in deep water to explore sunken ruins. If this would be triggering for you, please exercise caution when tuning in. Additionally, there is a reference to ingesting blood at 28:42 to 28:44, so please skip if this would be triggering for you. As always, your safety and enjoyment are important to us. Umé casts a spell on the party to transform gills onto their necks before transporting them into the deep lake where they first learned of Ashaña’s history. Ashaña shifts into an eel, following along as Umé guides them into the cold, dark depths toward the ruins of Velar. They are led to the remains of the palace, up through the halls and into the Queen’s chambers. Umé instructs Ashaña to open a doorway hidden within a bookshelf and leads them further into the depths of a hidden chamber. It is very clear that Ashaña is surprised by this revelation. Within the chamber, Umé surrounds the party with a bubble so they may converse. Ashaña quickly shifts to a dog to shake the water from their body before Umé leads them all to a large mural. The deity reveals that it contains information that answers life’s mysteries, and he is showing Ashaña so that xe may guard Nadros with the full understanding of its secrets. The deity doesn’t seem concerned that the party sees it as well, believing they couldn’t use the knowledge even if they wanted to. Furthermore, he warns them that if they try to use anything from the mural that they would not be able to fathom the true cost of the rituals described within. Trix decides to take Umé up on the offer of free knowledge and asks about their blood oath. Umé is able to discern the nature of the oath and shares it with the party. It appears that Emperor Dinai has an extremely important dragon as a hostage, and in order to remove him from Trix’s life they need to kill the dragon first. Umé transports the party back to Ashaña’s home, visibly drained from the energy and magic spent to share this knowledge. After excusing himself for rest, Ashaña offers gifts as payment for Captain Lucy and her crew and then escorts the party back to the beach.
