The full DEPTH of our situation

(Missed Session on 5/18/22) Leveled up to 7!!
 
After arriving into the Sahuagin city via secret trash tunnel, we have begun our ascent up The Tooth. It is sooo nice to be swimming again. The large spire gave us a great view of the underwater city. At the top was a small arena with two guards. We tried to split up and use Shark Torrielle to scout but she seemed swayed by their natural abilities to control sharks. We fanned out to attack them but they caught on to us. The battle was a little shaky with Algar taking many blows but dishing them out on kind. We were able to finish them off but Kalibek used a thunderclap, sending a shockwave of sound and air out! The sound was likely heard VERY FAR. We needed to act. Using the remaining time on my Enlarge spell on Algar, he was able to pry open a gate at the top of the spire. We made our way in to find several confusing shapes blocking sides of the room. There was a hole down but the map given to us indicated that this was the prison. We tried to figure out how to open the weird doors but even I couldn't figure it out. Algar and Stilga were able to force their way into the doors. In the first cell, we found a sea elf named Petruska! Wow was she pretty. She was trying to spy on the Sahuagin but was imprisoned. She told us she was actually a princess from Azureloom, a sea elf kingdom ruled by her father King Brennamere. We broke her free from her cell but struggled to get the manacles open. Kalibek conjured some thieves tools, but honestly, none of us know how to use them. Luckily Petruska knew how and was able to open her own manacles with the tools. We opened the next cell which was full of the Crabfolk! We helped them out and they were incredibly grateful. They waited till we could ensure the coast was clear before trying to get back to the garbage tunnel. The next cell contained something far less friendly though. There was something everyone else called a Depth Beholder? It had a massive eye with eye stalks, and claws. Luckily, it was appreciative of us freeing it and it left us be as it swam out of the gates. whew. The next cell had a Sea Giant! Her name was Jathar and she was being controlled by the Sahuagin. She was captured and had a magical necklace that controls her. With some arcana knowledge, I figured that we would need to find the control device and use it to free Jathar. Petruska was able to use the tools to pop the collar off Jathar! We asked the sea giant to help our crab friends to get to the garbage tunnel and she said she would. Before she left, she warned us of the High Priestess.
 
We composed ourselves in the safety of the prison room to rest shortly and recover our magics and strength...
