SpoilerHello, this is a currently-unofficial guest post, because this battle could use something resembling activity.

Blame Engie.

The Hermit cautiously peered out of his shell. His meditations had been disturbed.

S'kkoi had been his home, long ago, long before the cults or any combatants had arrived. But the Hermit had removed himself from society, and devoted himself to a search for true enlightenment.

After centuries of mediation, the Hermit had learned to hear the voice of the ocean itself.

For weeks now, that voice had been growing unpleasant, but bearable. Until today, when the Ocean was screaming, and the Hermit could no longer maintain his meditations - the Ocean's piercing howls would simply awaken him again.

He realized what it meant: The Ocean was afraid. Afraid of something that was drawing near.

Whatever it was, the Hermit would stop it. The Ocean would once more be at peace, and the Hermit could resume his search for enlightenment.

SpoilerSummary of the above: There is an ancient hermit crab guru trying to stop Soggoth's arrival and the ensuing chaos. Do whatever you want with him.
