The Chowder War

Crab-Seal War

Sister Ines warns the Monk Seal Abbot about the southern crab attack, threatening to turn the surprise migration into a slaughter.

Story so far

Tens of thousands of crabs complete their movement past Carl and Donut, far exceeding the initial estimate. Their own indifference lets the party capture Raul without triggering a swarm response.

After the road clears, the quest announces that Sister Ines Quiteria has negotiated with the Monk Seal Abbot and exposed the planned surprise attack. The seals can now prepare an overwhelming response against the crabs.

The update again asks the party to choose whether to support Ines and the seals or transform the conflict into a full battle. Carl hopes the quest resolves without them, while Donut doubts any floor conflict ever does.

Appearance
