Jimbo visits the fort and says he was paid 100 gold by the mermaid in elven coins. The party go investigate the spot where the mermaid was fished out. There is no clues that the party can find. Ugg casts speak with animals to talk with the fish, and a fish named Blub says he has never seen a dolphin or mermaid around. Kanon takes the 100 gold, claiming he will re-mint them into Drekis coins. Jimbo is sceptical. Out of spite Kanon decides to actually remint the coins.
Kanon gets Po Tato to go get the coins reminted at the blacksmith, keeping one himself. While at the blacksmiths Po Tato buys 2 new swords. Kanon chews him out.
The party go visit Lady Elizabeth Campbell to have the coin translated. While at the estate Ugg asks to play with Andy Campbell. Andy Campbell is terrified of Ugg.

Branches to Branches on the other side.
Kanon uses the magic orb to scry on the Magic Trident, and finds it is still floating on the pedestal, with the entrance is collapsed.

As the party approach Anacapa Island a pod of dolphins follow after the party. Ugg uses speak with animal to hear that the dolphins are laughing. Ugg asks how the dolphins are going, and they retreat. After a while a lone dolphin swims beside the boat in a calm, non-playful way. Ugg talks with the dolphin. The dolphin's name is Lissandra and says the Trident is protected and can't fall into the wrong hands. If you know the secret you can get the trident. The party haven't earned the right to know the secret. Lissandra says the elementals will keep coming as long as the rifts are open. Lissandra also identifies the coin as being the one given to Jimbo.
The party get to the cove at Anacapa Island. Ugg digs a hole into the collapse to let the party inside. The party head inside and find the trident. Ugg detects it is a holy place and the tident is blessed by the gods. Nadinis tells Ugg says the trident is ancient and powerful, and in hiding to be used again by a group. The party decide to leave the cave.
Lissandra in the mermaid form is outside the cave. Lissandra says her people have been protecting the trident for a certain moment in the future. To be given to a great leader to drive away evil. Lissandra says she is a Aquatic Elf. Lissandra says she saved Lili in the storm that crashed her ship when she first arrived. The rifts won't close until the island has been finished being built by the gods. All the ships that have tried to go around to see the rest of the island, have been pushed back by Nadinis since mortals are forbidden to see the creation purpose. The elemental planes are being used to build the land.
Lissandra then asks Kanon, as the leader, what are his plans for the island and his aspirations. Kanon says she wants to make a great nation. Lissandra says there is also a threat in a underwater cave near a dead reef.
