Summary

Nimble is confronted by the group of Dragonborn on the ship. He quickly learns they are all being controlled by some unknown entity that appears to be able to jump between their bodies with ease. After a valiant struggle to escape the ship, Nimble is thrown through a portal that lands him in the Scaled Cliffs. All the Dragonborn are standing in single file lines facing the pool of water they took the Body of Water from. It has grown stagnant and putrid in the time they've been away. The body of the ancient red Dragon, Rah, was sitting in the pool with the Elder Brain atop it, tentacles dug into Rah's skull, apparently animating it.

Nimble tried to escape by running past Rah, who chomped down on him, swallowing him. Nimble retreated to the Boot where Granny was looking a little nervous and packing up her things. After a brief conversation with her, she agreed with him that he was in grave danger. In a final act of getting the last word, Nimble summons Vincent to tell him that he'll be cheating him of their deal in moments. Vincent looks as though his mouth was filled with lemons as the roof is torn off the Boot by two dragon claws and tentacles reach in to grab Nimble as Granny escapes by flying up through the chimney. Nimble is pulled out of the boot and killed, only to be saved by his Haunted Doll. But the Elder Brain had learned from its experience with Umi. Upon seeing the change, it broke Nimble's arms and legs before stabbing him through the skull with one of its tentacles.

On the boat, Umi felt Nimble's connection sever and Nimble's panther began acting very distressed. Umi confirms with the panther that Nimble has died and informs the party. A decision is quickly made that revenge is the only course of action and the boat's course is not altered. The party returns to town, leaving the usual team of Throden in charge of the boat. The panther leads Umi to a hidden compartment in their keep that has the magic rose as well as a note. Umi travels to the Dwarven city of Stone Peaks to find the intended recipient of the note, a one "Noble Bimble". Rorgak begins making preparations for the coming battle and Illistair goes off to make a Dark Deal with his patron in a gamble for more power.

Umi arrives and is lead to the Bimble house which resides at the very top of the mountain. A Gnome that looks very similar to Nimble is presented to Umi and introduces himself as Whitney Bimble, brother of Nimble (he hated that his names rhymed). After reading the letter and seeing the rose, Whit intuits that Nimble has passed on. He leaves on an errand while Umi meditates on trying to gain better control over the power he was given. Upon returning, Whit requests that he would like to help avenge his brother and Umi says they can use all the help they can get. Whit says he might know someone who could be useful and Umi tells him to meet at their town before "birding out" and leaving.

Whit and Lyle teleport to the town and introduce themselves to the party.
