Ulgrotha and Serra's Realm: Kraken Forever

Party: Sorval / Iskren / Taurio / Vultha


 Griev 20th - 22nd

The party woke up early and prepared their trip, transporting with them their airship and crew.
Arriving on the plane of Ulgrotha, they decided to head for the Wizard School in order to discover the secret of immortality. Making a short stop to acquire a guide for this goal, they were set upon by some marine creatures, the sense of having been spied hanging over them again. 
Dispatching a dastardly window. a kraken spawn and a bunch of drowned sailors, they hoisted their newest friend, Avvardin Zu, on board and set out to reach the city of Port, unironically known to be a port.
Arriving, the airship seemed to lose altitude as it approached the fog-enshrouded island, taking to the water with ease and letting the party disembark to meet some locals.
A bit of questioning and a strange (ex?-) Azorius cleric pointed them toward Feryja, the wandering researcher the party had previously met on the road to Sengir's domain.
The party gathered as much intel on their foe as they could, bought gear accordingly, including a depth-charge mine - whatever that may be.  

They then de-Ported themselves and started scouring the sea for the lair of the Kraken. Tracking a disturbance and pin-pointing its center, Iskren's thrull was sent down to check for the creature's lair. As it did not return, the party decided to descend and wreck havoc.
A massive battle ensued, where they fought not just the mighty Kraken, but also the very spirits of water that dwelled in its habitat. 
The group eventually slew the beast, causing its influence to fade, with Iskren's divine pillar of light smashing through the physical entity and Vultha taking the Shard of Creation for himself.

Then the party remembered a bounty had been placed on the head of the creature, and with the utter destruction of its physical form, this would be tricky to acquire. On the other hand, they now found themselves surrounded by a massive hoard, which quickly was claimed by the victorious crew.
Returning much enriched from their experience, the group then found Feryja again and managed to get her to teach Iskren the incantation to stop immortality as a reward for the termination of the threat.

The next stop the party eyed was the realm of Angels again, determined to stop the rampaging Brokkos in its tracks. Arriving there, their airship turned out to be missing, but instead they met with the Seventh host, who agreed to help them in fighting the beast.
After unleashing their magics and bringing the beast down to a manageable size, the angels bid the party the best of luck and a fierce struggle ensued. Iskren's new spell turned the tables on the regenerating brute and the Shard of Eternity was brought low by the team, with Vultha adding it to his rapidly growing collection of power. 

The group, now slightly more bruised than before, retired to the Outpost, a guard tower overseen by a human merchant, where Iskren and Taurio learned about a local game of tradeable cards and the potential ramifications of the economics of such a collectable hobby.
Some shopping happened before the group bade farewell to the angelic plane, with the return to Ravnica firmly in mind.
