Her , but thank you ! That ' s what I ' ll do if she does it again ! <| sep |> Maybe it ' s not about summoning the Kraken but instead using the Kraken ' s corpse ? I ' m imagining it ' s flesh or excretions or some byproduct of its decaying body can be used to grant powers of a rather evil nature . The cult is either trying to find it or has found it and using it actively to power themselves up . The party ' s goal is to find and destroy , or cut off access . Or repurpose to cure some disease . Perhaps the cult ' s use of the Kraken ' s body is causing pollution of the waters in the area , such that the locals are sickening with some very rare odd disease suckers are showing up among rashes , etcEdit Reason to attack ships can be simple . Loooooooot ! Or maybe it ' s a baby kraken they need to feed .
