Campaign summary of Return to Skywall, set in the World of Kiynan (5E compatible, based on Wizard of the Coast’s SRD 5.2.1).

Returning to Haven with hard-won trophies and Tylia’s recovered documents, the companions were once again received by Mistress Kayla the Blue. They spoke of the battle at the ruins of Skywall, of Braka and Darra’s defeat, and of the empty receptacle where the Floatstone should have been. From the lore Tylia had uncovered, Kayla and her augurs pieced together a final clue: Master Cadvin the Blue had survived the fall of Skywall, and his exile had taken him far into the Endless Sea. There, in the scattered isles known as the Starkeeper’s Tears, the Floatstone might yet be found.

A vessel was prepared, and the companions sailed northward into cold waters. For weeks the voyage was uneventful—until one storm-wracked night, when the sea itself rose against them. From the depths surged the Lord of the Deep, a monstrous kraken whose colossal tentacles crashed down upon the ship.

The crew scattered in terror as the adventurers fought for their lives. Shep was nearly dragged into the sea but conjured a vast lily pad to keep himself afloat. Ethain was flung overboard, only to be hauled back by Nines, who lashed a rope around him even as another tentacle seized the boy himself. Bitoh waded into the fray with hammer and blade, hacking at the writhing limbs with reckless fury. Together, the companions severed tentacle after tentacle—until the monster, sensing its prey too fierce, recoiled. With a bellowing roar, it belched a cloud of black ink that spread across the sea and vanished into the abyss.

In the days that followed, the ship limped onward, battered but afloat. The loss of crewmates weighed heavily, yet life at sea resumed its rhythms. Ethain, never without mischief, convinced the sailors that an ordinary candlestick was a priceless treasure. The crew squabbled over it bitterly, until Nines, growing tired of the nonsense, stole it with deft hands and tossed it overboard, ending the quarrel in a single splash. Shep, steady as always, tried to turn hearts back toward calmer talk, while Bitoh brooded on the enormity of the beast they had faced.

At last, they reached the Starkeeper’s Tears, where the gnomes of the islands welcomed them and guided them inland. In a jungle clearing, the companions beheld Verletzt, last of the Lethean, an immortal giant who had kept his lonely vigil for centuries. He revealed that Cadvin the Blue and Glenda the Pink had indeed come to him long ago, bearing the Floatstone. They entrusted it to his keeping, that it might one day be returned to House Calm. Now, at last, Verletzt placed it in the hands of the adventurers, teaching them how it might be recharged with magic.

Before they departed, he led them to a shaded grove where two graves lay side by side—those of Cadvin and Glenda. There, Shep knelt and made charcoal rubbings of the gravestones, preserving the memory of their resting place.

With the Floatstone finally recovered, the companions returned to Haven. Duchess Kayla received them in triumph, vowing to raise part of her castle into the skies as Skywall once soared. She offered them gold and honors, but more than that, she spoke of eternal gratitude, their names forever bound to the rebirth of House Calm.

Thus their quest was fulfilled: forged in tavern laughter, tested in flame, shadow, and storm, Bitoh, Shep, Nines, and Ethain returned not only as adventurers, but as legends.
