Having finally dealt with the shifting walls, you can descend deeper – into Agnosia – or return up to the higher levels. Marina the sea pony has left to return the sails to your crewmates.

Yes, as it stood:
-You recovered the captured crewmen with the help of the seaponies in Depression Square
-You helped re-open the seapony shops by recovering supplies on Dreamer's Walk
-You found the sails and some treasure by defeating the Cortical Homunculus
You have been promised that if you can help drive out the Discordians entirely – two more levels – that you may borrow their underwater boat, which travels faster than your ship.

Oh so we need to drive them out if we want the boat?
I didn't recall that at all.

It's not so much a chasm as a downward-sloping tunnel. Like the others, it's unlit, but unlike the others, it seems even to resist light.

You realize that you are actually smelling – and tasting – true nothingness.
You naturally become nose and tongueblind to your own taste and odor. For instance, you don't spend all day smelling the scent of skin, Rhanna, and boogers. However, now that the smell has gone away, it is noticeable.

You lasso her right rear leg. She's wandering into a wall presently, and doesn't appear to notice that her nose is being rubbed into the brickwork.
Probably not surprising given that the gun wound looks pretty nasty.

Rhanna digs through the door. Suddenly the line goes taut and you start sliding toward the hole.
>>619912
You dig through the floor. It's a long and arduous process, but unlike other places in the dungeon, the floor here is softer – perhaps because it is made of that spongy material that the monster came out of, and it has to shift around to reveal the doors.
You dig for a good minute before suddenly the ground breaks out from under you. Your line goes taut and it knocks the breath out of you as the rope tightens around your waist. Below you is not darkness like the other floors. It is well lit. There's fire everywhere. The room is huge, and contains several smaller structures.

There's no doubt about it: what you're seeing is the lower level that Agnosia leads to. You can skip right past Agnosia into Lost Archipellium.
It looks to be a great bowl of fire, filled with a few structures. Large, seemingly dead tendrils lay slumped across the structures.
The place is alive with ghosts – white and gray specters that float and screech.

Whatever happened, it seems to have drawn attention. Mind Flyers are on the move – and headed for you.
There's a figure riding a larger mind flyer!

The jars are as big as you are! You just want to take a sample?
Each one of those is an action – it'll take up time! You also already have one slot taken up by Magic Bolt.

You make a sight to give you +1 with Crossbows
>>620092
There are three Mind Flyers, a Great Mind Flyer, and some sort of creature that's completely alien to you. It has hooves, of course, but it stands on only two legs, and has goat horns. Only the bottom half of its body has a coat of hair – the top is naked. Maybe Selena has seen this before

You smack him in the face with your tail and get back into position.

It's too far up! You struggle, and eventually pass out…
…
…
…
With a cough, you come to above water. You're in a room that appears to be unfamiliar – for one thing, it's made of wood, all the walls and floors. That's unusual, given the Aquamarine City is generally made of stone. You're on something soft… It's a cot, actually. A bed. It almost looks like you're back on the ship, but the hull here is clearly smaller.
Rhanna is here, but she's fussing over some sort of anvil setup in the corner. Maeda is also here, and appears to be meditating.
Your attention is drawn to the stairs nearby, where you see that half-Shiban diamond dog, Flagon, padding up the stairs. After a moment, the High Priestess, Mera, descends with Lilly.
"Ah, you're finally awake. I'm sure you have many questions, but let me see if I can pre-empt them. You're aboard the Wash, our undersea sailing vessel. After you passed out, we finished repairing the breach, and my son is leading the efforts to remove water from the Lost Archipellium. Unfortunately, it seems that the heat of that area was necessary to make the Aquamarine City move, so we will be grounded here for some time. However, we are still grateful for what you've done, and we're upholding our end of the bargain. I'm sending a crew of four of my followers, and my daughter, to help you navigate this vessel to your destination, and bring it back after you arrive."
She nods faintly. "We went ahead and moved you because Lilly assured us that time was of the essence. With that in mind, you're ready to launch at your pleasure – I just need to disembark. Did you have any last questions before you depart?"

There may be a closer beachhead if you want to land near it instead of New Earth, which is a port city."

"Priestess, I've got two girls who might be in trouble, Lilly here is going to…be in trouble if we don't find that altar in five days and I've got a letter from some

Shake my head and drop my ears.

"Not knowing you, your objectives, or the nature and contents of this letter, I cannot make wise counsel for you. I can speak on the matter of the Cralund, however; We spoke at length about it before, if you recall, and I know the nature of the trouble you speak of. All I can say is that the Cralund is likely something you do not wish to tangle with, but now that you know the nature of your conflict, you have more flexibility in how to approach it. By avoiding sleep, Lilly can slow its search. As I said, it can only zero in on her in her dreams, which is why it draws closer at night. However, even if you don't have enough time to finish entirely, fighting it on your own terms is still be more favorable than simply letting it catch you unawares. The Cralund will no doubt immediately try to put you to sleep and fight you in the realm of the mind, which is where it is strongest; Stimulants may help you stay awake, at least for a time. The Cralund fights with claws, as well, so military tactics that take advantage of your distance weapons will also grant you some leeway. Barricades, funnels, bombardments, traps, caltrops, and fighting retreats are all worth considering."

Calling it a sloop is generous. Down here you have the "hold", which contains the beds and supplies. Maybe Rhanna could put together some walls and make discrete rooms with the wood supply. There is no gundeck – it goes straight to the sailing deck, which is completely exposed to the water. You can't help out up there if you're not a seapony.

"You really have Light's courage. I'll try to make something to help you keep awake. And if it comes to it, we will beat it. I know we will.
Listen, Itztli might talk to you later so before he can say any lies, here's the truth. He's a Discordian. While we were on the pirate ship he could…change ponies. I saw them be sharpshooters one day, and magicians the next. So that's what he is. I've never seen him cheat on that deal…but I wouldn't trust him further than that."

You find the young dog playing with the scope she made for the crossbow she left besides her. She was playing around with that ever since she got into the boat, and has been turning it into many different things. Breaking and reassembling the parts to make all sorts of other gadgets.
She was awfully quiet and haven't talked to you at all since the Smith. She was barely using her smithing things she was given to as well.

The whole ship shakes and begins to tilt. You climb for what feels like several minutes, and with an audible thump, motion ceases.
It's enough to rouse you from your sleep (or lack thereof if applicable) and draw your attention to the main deck. One seapony cries: "Land ho!"
It seems you've made landfall. Did you take any precautions to stay awake, Lilly?

Now that you can see more clearly, it becomes obvious there is a narrow clearing through the brambles below. You could maybe squeeze through painfully. Only Rhanna is small enough to fit through without getting scratched up. Otherwise, the foliage will have to be ripped down.

On the way up, you notice that in the rich silt that supports all the tree life on this volcano, there are trails in the sand – as though left by snakes. But almost like snakes that are dragging large objects… They lead up to a rock outcropping between four large trees that appears totally innocent, but the tracks suddenly stop there.

The mine is noticeably not hot. In fact, it's shady, so it's cooler than the tropical air outside. It seems to have good ventilation and the volcano is not active.

Of course, there is no lava here. This volcano is long-dead, just a rocky shell.

You arrive at chained horses. There are lots of other ponies nearby who are just wandering around unchained, but they seem disoriented.
The chained up ones are lucid though and beg you:
"HELP! HELP US!"
"GET US FREE!"
"HELP!"
>>629650
The platform looms ominously above.
>>629655
It sounds like… rock!
WOAH! THE PLATFORM COLLAPSED FROM UNDER YOU! Another chain has broken free! You freefall. With nothing you see, you take a deep breath, and prepare for death.
Suddenly, you feel yourself in another pony's arms!
>>629657
Another chain broke loose! It's hanging above you at a full 90 degree angle, ready to pile-drive the ground below!
>>629656
You sweep her off the platform just after it gives way!

You stick your hoof into the magic hat. You grab something inside, but it has an unusual texture. It feels like…
Disappointing your mother. The surface of whatever you're grabbing feels exactly like what you felt the first time you tried to mix a potion, and it exploded, ruining the inside of your wagon. Mom was so disappointed… if you had only waited a few more hours for her to return, she would've shown it to you herself…

This place is interesting. It's tiered: you can see up to the lounges above, and it's packed with all sorts of ponies – almost all of which look like questers and adventurers. Here on the first level, Flagon is at the bar, ordering a salmon dinner. He's sitting next to an aging admiral mare, by the looks of it.
The upper floors of the tavern look more intricately decorated, but this place is the most packed. The reasons why, unknown.
