With matters in the Deadfire reaching a boil, Queen Onekaza's watershapers must be ready for anything. In spite of the pressures from all around, the head of the Watershapers Guild does not answer the queen's summons.

Onekaza needs someone to find Guildmaster Mairu.

Nāga have attacked the guildhall and the first floor is littered with bodies - none of them Mairu.

She might need help holding her forces against this attack.

Objectives

  1. Search the guild for Mairu.
  2. Find Mairu in the sanctum beneath the guildhall.
  3. Retrieve Guildmaster Mairu's rod.
  4. Uncover the threat to the guild.
  5. Decide what to do with Scyorielaphas.
  6. Speak with Queen Onekaza.
  7. Speak with Guildmaster Mairu.
  8. Speak to Guildmaster Mairu.
  9. Retrieve Guildmaster Mairu's rod.

Endings

  1. I set Scyorielaphas free upon Neketaka. This was the right thing to do, but I cannot anticipate what damage my choice might cause.
  2. I decided to keep Scyorielaphas imprisoned. He was too dangerous to set loose upon Neketaka, and watershaping is too critical to the security of the city to chance it.
  3. I fractured Scyorielaphas' soul and set him free. The Huana may not be pleased that I unshackled their prisoner, but the power of watershaping is uninterrupted.
  4. Scyorielaphas is dead, his strength ripped from the watershapers. The Huana will not be pleased, but at least their prisoner is 'free,' after a fashion.
  5. A sea dragon escaped the clutches of the Watershapers Guild. I had no part in it.
  6. The Watershapers Guild withstood a bloody attack, leaving the main hall littered with nāga bodies. Considering how the Huana hold their watershapers in high esteem, the Neketaka authorities would want the matter investigated.
  7. The spirit of Guildmaster Mairu told me to seek out a rod stolen by the nāga and use it to open the stone door by the entrance to this sanctum. She wishes for me to strengthen a set of wards, though what they guard is still a mystery. She said that the words of Periki's Devotion will open the way.
