Notes
Despite its defeat in Mulmaster, the Cult of the Crushing Wave seeks to regain its strength and create another Devastation Orb to exact its revenge on the City of Danger. To do this, the cult is nurturing a budding elemental node of water beneath the ruins of Fort Dalton, southeast of Mulmaster. The node is nearly complete and a follower of Olhydra performs dark rites in the abandoned town of Fort Dalton to protect what she sees as the beginning of the return of the Cult of Crushing Wave. The cultist—a female marel named Shelavassa, a Champion of Olhydra called Karsev the Drowner, and a small cadre of fanatical cultists work to cement their hold on the area and provide security for the fledgling water node. Getting into the bathhouse should be a relatively simple endeavor. There Karsev is busy with his ritual, drowning prisoners and subjecting them to the cult’s magic. Arriving at Fort Dalton, the characters are waylaid by cultists who leave a trail directly to a bathhouse. Searching the bathhouse, the characters find a warm spring that leads down into the earth. Following the spring they find a small set of chambers and eventually a chamber holding the young water node. Protecting the node and the elf prince prisoner are Shelavassa and her merrow servant. After defeating the cult the elemental node begins to breakdown and dissipate.
