==Story== The party first hear rumors of Gracos and the Sunken Citadel from the villagers of [[Spilton-on-Sea]], who do not know its exact locations, but know that it's somewhere underneath the sea. According to legend, it was once a thriving civilization, but eventually sank beneath the sea long ago. The wandering musician [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] lures the people of [[Hardlypool]], Spilton-on-Sea, and Wetlock to the [[Highendreigh Tower]] in order to save them from the coming flood. When the party and all the villagers are at the tower, Gracos creates a mighty rainstorm that causes the sea level to rise, submerging the entire continent and the towns. Old Man Riffer knew of the flood due to his gift of foresight, but he knew that no one would believe him, so he lured the people to the tower in the night by playing his torban. When the flood begins, Old Man Riffer sees that the flood is much worse than he initially thought. He states that the flood will soon overtake the tower if no one defeats the monster causing it, but he knows that he is too old now to fight monsters. Old Man Riffer stops the party, saying that he reminds them of adventurers he met long ago at the Roamers Encampment and explains his past to them. He does not realize that the party are the very same adventurers, but he asks for their help to defeat Gracos at the Sunken Citadel. Riffer gives the party a [[Prayer ring]] and allows them to use the small boat he provided at the bottom of the tower. The dungeon is accessed by visiting the [[teleportal]] southwest of Spilton-on-Sea. When the party approaches it on the ship they borrowed, the mark on the {{Hero 7}}'s arm begins to glow, causing a swirling portal to appear. After traversing through the citadel, the party encounters the Great Sea Demon Gracos in his throne room. He tells them he was already aware of their coming and the reason for their visit. Gracos summons forth the lost spirits who died in the Sunken Citadel long ago, transforming them into [[Sunken spirit]]s to fight against the party. They are able to defeat the small group, but Gracos gloats, stating that there are more spirits for them to fight. Just then, Old Man Riffer appears suddenly and plays his torban, freeing the fallen spirits from Gracos's enslavement and sending them to the afterlife. Enraged, Gracos challenges the party to a battle, which Old Man Riffer joins in. Together, they are able to defeat the Sea Demon, but using the last of his strength, Gracos destroys their escape route from his throne room. All is not lost, as Old Man Riffer is able to create a teleportal using his powers, allowing the party and him to escape from the underwater city. When the party returns to Highendreigh Tower, they see that the Flood has ended.
