(Unless we were actually caught in some area safety effect of the nautiloid and it wasn’t the tadpole at all!)

I saw a theory somewhere that we were saved by Kelemvor's interference here. It was all explained through Wither's hints when talking to the cleric of specific deities and some other references. I don't quite remember now, sadly, but it was quite convincing.

I hadn’t spotted that one! I’d be interested in how it explains Kelemvor saving us there and not elsewhere.

I think at least our character might believe that it’s due to the tadpole because it’s one of the post-tadpole effects that they can tell Nettie about. But so far I think I prefer the theory (that admittedly only occurred to me today) that the nautiloid is actually fitted with a levitation field safety mechanism to reduce fatalities in the event of a crash grin
