You hold the Summoner’s staff in your hand and concentrate on its vibrations between the planes. It was hard to notice at first, with all that water rushing out, but the staff is speaking to you—inviting you to cross the threshold into another plane. You cannot help but feel as if this whole series of events was more than just coincidence. You were meant to find the staff in the road. You were meant to travel to the Plane of Water. You cannot fathom why, but you are willing to find out. You swallow the breathing orb and let the staff take you away. Traveling across the planar barrier, it feels as though you are being torn apart, but the trip is thankfully short. Just as your mouth opens to scream in pain, it fills with water, and you open your eyes to see that you have arrived. Hostile figures gather around you as you contemplate your purpose here.

At your arrival, the crab-like creature looks in your direction and a chorus of aggressive claw clicking reverberates toward you through the water. The gargantuan Lurker pushes the figure up against the back wall and touches it ceremoniously with the tip of its claw. In a flash, the figure is encased in a cage of ice and you are finally able to recognize who it is: the Summoner. You were meant to come and save her. Even if you have to tear off that thing’s claw and use it to dispel the ice, well, then that is exactly what you will do. Special Rules : In the large room, all characters and character summons are forced to move one hex in the direction of the current at the end of each round, unless they are occupying
You touch the dead claw to the prison, and the ice vanishes. Instantly, you find yourself back in your room, with the Summoner in front of you. “I was foolish in my studies and was captured,” she says. “You found the signs and rescued me. Please, keep the staff as a token of my thanks.” As soon as you take hold of the staff, the terse Aesther disappears.
