Somewhere in the depths of the eastern sea, the tattered remnants of the Elder Shark’s spirit body disintegrate as the warped currents that had supported it’s incredible mass unravel along with it’s flesh. Within that whirling slurry of shark, our heroes struggle to save Gorvinahth, the Statue Gate, while surviving the onslaught of the enraged Elder Shark.
The rival masses of flesh still churn the waters as those impacted Contagion, wrestle with those that still hold some measure of the Elder Shark’s true essence.
As she passed from consciousness, Gorvinahth had one last Meta Mechanical action. The players chose Aid, which brought the sharkfolk pirates and their leader Lorenzini back into the fray. The blue-figurined forces spread out across the area under the players direction.
In the heart of this chaos, with one ally already trapped inside the Elder Shark, the barbarian manages to take hold of one of the war sharks and swing it around like a club, shattering it’s spine against it’s own god.
Lorenzini chases the Elder Shark around, trying to reason with his god, as it continues to call upon the power of the sea to slaughter all who dare to disrupt his power. The sharkfolk pirate captain persisted in begging it abandon it’s rage, for the heart is set free and the oceans can return to balance.
As it circle the area, the Elder Shark again used its summon ability to bring forth a wave of elder water elementals.
In the background, the elder elementals spread out as the Elder Shark circles around for another attack while the sharkfolk spread out to defend Gorvinahth and our injured characters.
Meanwhile, the sharkfolk partner with the druid in his fanged fish form to bring down one of the stealth sharks, while the rest surround the surviving war shark.
The sharkfolk turn on their own as needs be. Caught up in the Elder Shark’s blood lust and rage, their cousin cannot calm himself and when one of the pirates dies, the rest claim vengeance.
Lorenzini (face down after breaking off of his stand) slammed into the war shark, finishing it off and sending it spinning away into the depths.
With a single session left, our heroes are nearly routed: pinned down, or eaten alive, mortally wounded, or barely standing.
The wounded defend the unconscious amongst the promethean mechana as their survivng foes circle ever inwards.
Meanwhile, in the Elder Sharks belly, the war cleric and barbarian struggle to escape while facing the last of the Megamegaladons essence.
But they’ve taken hold of the Statue Gate, and hope to activate it, before the Elder Shark strikes again. Will they be able to triumph? Who will survive?
Next Week in the Accursed Currents Finale: We’ll let the dice decide.
