The group entered into Stormberth and were greeted by Leah Moonglow, a woman who acted as a sort of leader for those who lived in Stormberth and followed the teachings of the famous Namondwe
While the group was offered clouds on which they could rest, they were generally put off by Leah and instead found Tuggie Swain, a gruff old dwarven reseacher involved in measuring the tides in the seas around the Arrowhead Isles
The group contracted a ship out of Stormberth with Tuggie and also got enough on his good side to be invited into his research study
There, the group was able to use their history of learning and research to uncover a truth even Tuggie had missed: the Siren's Suckhole was creating an ebbing and flowing tide that had a pattern equivalent to the breathing of a living thing
The group attended a ceremony that evening in which the people of Stormberth gathered around Chifunga Lake and welcomed home a demigod that had been imprisoned elswhere for a long time
This shark divinity known as Uqupa immediately sighted the group and brought them to him for a special council under the watchful gaze of Namondwe
During this council, Leah attempted to insert herself into the group, claiming she brought them all there that night -- Uqupa planned to end her life for insolence but Brother Moor stepped in to save her, assuring Uqupa she had done well to bring them there
Uqupa claimed the Sahaguin of the nearby jungle had abandoned him as their god and stolen one of his Oars, an oar he very badly wanted returned
He told the group that if they brought back his oar, they would be rewarded with a favor
The group agreed to set out the next morning
Before doing so, Leah brought them a delicious bearkfast she hand prepared as a thankyou, and assured them she'd return the favor of her life
The group ventured into the jungle and found the Sahaguin at a nearby waterful in some manner of religious ceremony in which they were annointing a new "god" with the very oar they sought
The group made ready to engage the Sahaguin to retrieve Uqupa's oar.
