Session 59: When The Sea Pulled Back

Amok in Waterdeep Session 59: When the Sea Pulled Back ©2026 DD Cunningham Lyrics: Seven came to Thornhold with the coastline at their back Ian, Zen and Cassius, Ciuin dressed in black Bjorn, Mirri, Lana, every banner in the hall Halgrim spoke of giants in the deep Now giants come for all Dagult talked of roads and ships, of grain and getting fed Laeral cut it shorter: make the plans before you're dead Command, supply, evacuation, messages on time If every city stands alone They'll fall one at a time Cassius rose to speak Then saw a ghost across the room Lord Vesper sat with Luskan And an old wound opened new At dinner Cassius faced him With Bjorn looming close behind “When this war is over You and I will find the time” Hold the line, close the distance Make the promise mean something now Stone by stone, city to city Find a way and figure out how They came to talk, they came to plan Put every free voice on the map Nobody knew before the night was through They'd watch the whole damn sea pull back The whole damn sea pull back Down below in Thornhold Zen found newer stone No lever and no secret switch So Cassius kicked it down Ian worked the survey room Ciuin found the hidden way Zen found the Kwalish machine Still waiting in the bay Three pieces found, one still remained Durrin gave his hand Stone and brass began to turn And Storm Bottom showed its plan They took the map and kept it quiet No council got the word Some things the party handles Without announcing what they've learned Ian pocketed sausages For hunger later on Mirri saw the wisdom And immediately joined along Cassius had another plan Much harder to explain Sausage in his trousers. Aurinaxia stood in gold And offered something new Dragon, giant, mortal voices With no one ruling who A Council of Free People A table, not a crown Then Ian spoke of unity And shrinking distance down Magic makes the miles grow small When neighbors call for aid For one brief moment Thornhold felt Like something might be made Hold the line, close the distance Make the promise mean something now Stone by stone, city to city They were finally working out how Then lightning split the western wall The whole keep shook and cracked The ocean vanished from the shore— And the whole damn sea pulled back Ogres through the breach Giants through the spray All those plans for tomorrow— Just became today Just became today
