"The whale-man chooses as allies those whom he thinks will fall easily to him later. He thinks to first use them to defeat the strong, so he can assure that he will be the last.

Only one will survive, rest assured. There is no escape. The being who has pulled us here is none other that the God of Secrets, Vecna himself!"
