Poseidon Slain
Poseidon: What is it you seek, Valerian? Why do you defile our glorious city? Is the realm above not enough for your greed?

You feel guilt attacking you from the inside. Why have you come so far only to loot riches and expose a hidden civilization? What do you gain from it? You are indeed a mighty hero in Valeria, no King would deny you fame and fortune. It was Nautica who convinced you to plunder the city... what was she truly after to come all this way?

Poseidon: Your silence answers for you. Very well... I have no choice but to ensure your defeat.

The massive Atlantean King raises his Trident high unleashing ancient magics. Most of your army sucks in water, their water-breathing enchantment dispelled. Blue energy floods into their lungs drowning them in agony! Nautica and her forces seem immune to the dangers and begin to swim forward to engage Poseidon. The melee is fierce, with pirates cut down left and right. Blood explodes into the water clouding your vision. Your army slowly reforms while your clerics frantically work to remove the Trident's curse. As they swim forward, enormous tentacles come crashing down! The Kraken has returned!

Nautica continues to dart in and out of Poseidon's swing, using her pirate crew as diversions. Your army struggles valiantly against the Kraken, using the sunken reefs and caves for protection. Your forces will not last long as there is nowhere to run. You must end this quickly! You rush through the water towards Poseidon unleashing a furious torrent of fireballs that boil the water around him. As Poseidon begins casting a water shield, Nautica takes the opportunity to rip away the Trident from Poseidon! The Kraken pauses for a moment, its massive eyes looking about Poseidon and your remaining army. An incredible bellowing roar is unleashed as the Kraken seems to go wild, lashing out with its tentacles at the nearby city, the King and yourself. The King summons a whirlpool sending it towards the beast. The Kraken dives through the spell with its tentacles encircling Poseidon. As the King and the Beast collide, you see your opportunity to escape. You order the retreat and swim upwards, back into the cave system above. The ocean currents flow upwards assisting your ascent. You leave behind blackness, and the echoing roars of the Kraken. Where was Nautica... and what does she want with the Trident? It seemed as if it controlled the beast. The ominous feeling of dread overwhelms you. This would not be the last time you encountered Nautica or the Kraken.

A glimmer of golden armor catches your eye from below. The King! Poseidon races up after you threatening to catch your forces. You order your mages to summon lava spikes that sear through the water to buy you time. As Poseidon deflects them, a tentacle wraps around his body dragging him down in the blink of an eye back into the black depths. You let out a sigh of relief and continue your way to the surface.

Hours later, you finally breech the ocean's surface. Sunlight hits your face, realizing how lucky you are to be alive. You see a ship marked with red skulls and crossbones pulling up a massive golden Trident out of the water. You spot Nautica on the ship. The sails unfurl and the ship begins to sail away. Your forces are too few and too weak to give pursuit. You have no choice but to let her go. For now you must get your remaining soldiers home...
