It is about 2' long and weighs about 25 lbs. You will need to wade into the pool to get it, but nothing stops you as you have the repellent on. It is covered with centipedes.
Silas carefully grabs it, thanking Quell for presdigitation later.
Oro-Tu does not do much with swarms except avoid them, but he stays on guard in case Silas or anyone else get into danger and he is able to help.

Natalie backs out of the room. She wasn't exactly expecting this.
"Since you smell no gas, I will try fire after all. After all, it is more pleasing to see these wriggling little beasts blacken and curl up than simply become frozen in ice." Facing the swarm, Leialoha again spreads his arms wide and speaking a prayer to Pele herself, he sends a raging inferno over most of the centipedes.
The swarm is toast! 200XP each.
"Ah, now that was much more gratifying, but I'm glad there wasn't gas here. Might have taken us all with the swarm. Now let's see if that is our missing jawbone Silas?"
"Very good, wizard. Most impressive."
In the bundle you find the scrimshaw jawbone of a whale.

Leialoha stands taller and perhaps even has a hint of a smile. He is nearly certain this is the relic we seek.
It is the jawbone.
Silas pulls himself out of the pool, carefully holding the jawbone, and avoiding the urge to brush himself clean. "This is a good sign. Hopefully the first step in the right direction. "
"Refresh me on the importance of this... bone? I thought we sought a ring."
The Jawbone of Kaho Ali’i
This jawbone depicts the coronation of the first Tulita war chief, Kaho Ali’i. It is a relic of immense value to the Tulita people, and its loss proved a significant blow to faith in the old ways.
"The ring is a trinket that we get paid for if we find. Not that important. This is about giving a people back their ways."
"I see. I won't argue with that. Certainly not with these natives doing all the work for it."

Oro-Tu nods at the finding of the jawbone, "Good."
He then proceeds to check out the rest of the room.
You notice nothing else in the room.
Silas casts prestidigitation over himself, the cloth and the Jawbone. He wraps the jawbone in the now clean cloth and puts it inside his pack for safety.
"Captain, now we've found one of the items we were looking for, I was wondering if we could pick your brains as we have been asked to find a needle in a haystack. A noble dropped his ring into the sewers over in Silk. Any suggestions for where we might look?"
"The Silk could be a couple of places. I would suggest heading into the sewers north first."
You go back and get the raft and Cap't Lester leads you out the passageway west. You come to another chamber. sewers13
In the tunnel ahead, a raised landing sits inches
above the sewage. In the wall sit three dark portholes:
one facing south and two facing east. A dark yellow green
substance slicks the hewn stone landing in
spots. This strange, mucus-like fluid also rims the
porthole facing south, as well as the eastbound
porthole closest to the south facing one. All three
holes lead into darkness. The muted crash of waves
echoes in the distance through the three tunnels.
"The silk be to the north about a mile."
You travel on the raft in a generally northerly direction making a few turns along the way. After about 15-20 minutes you come to a landing. There is a wall ahead, beyond the wall are passages to the north and to the west. sewers14
