Just to throw in another thought, the dead fisherman on the beach mentions survivors from the crash. A beautiful woman that people couldn't look away from, and an elf.
Who were they? Is it possible they were Z'rell and Ketheric? I guess I'm wondering what was really going on in the attack. Why did the githyanki follow the ship into avernus? Was it for the artifact? Was it because there were chosen of the absolute on the Nautiloid at the same time as the player characters?
Damn, I know I posted the exact words here a while back but can’t recall them.
My theory based on my imperfect recollections is that the “beautiful woman” was actually the dying mindflayer messing with folks’ minds. I can’t remember what I decided about the elf. I think one of them was meant to have gone south and the other … nope don’t remember, and can’t recall which was which.
EDIT: Aha! Here’s the old thread on this topic I was thinking of:
