"I don't know... never seen anything like them before." Ashrem replies to Allie, "But I did see a ship wreck not too deep below us. I want to see if there is any treasure inside. I'll be right back." he mentions loudly for the group to hear. Taking a deep breath, Ashrem dives under the surface and starts exploring the wreckage.

sorry for the bad link the map is here
Allende sees the creatures coming and starts to give a warning but is too late as the creatures dart towards them.
Amamer swims up in front of the creatures and calls on the power of the waters. A moment later a cloud of colored bubbles pours out of her mouth, washing over the creatures.

"Reefclaws!" Sandman says with a wide grin. "Be careful, they are quite intelligent, poisonous and tend to lash out as they die."
"Quite delicious, however."
Seeing Amamer moving to attack the sea creatures before swimming too far away, Ashrem moves to the edge of the coral and throws one of his daggers at the closer of the two reefclaws.
"Hopefully Kroop can cook these two up deliciously for us tonight." he replies to Sandman.
"So far, I haven't seen him do anything but drink."
Both Reefclaws are knocked unconcious by Amamer's spell.
Amamer floats slowly to the surface of the water, face turned up to the sun, doing her best not to show her fear.
After a moment, she shakes it off and grins at Ashrem.
"Race ya!" she says, diving and swimming towards the wreck - an absurdly unfair challenge, with Touch of the Sea still active.
"Shouldn't we kill those things before they wake up? They look pretty vicious," Allie suggests.
I say lets kill them and take some of their meat
Connor will coup de grace one of the Reefclaws with his cutlass
Connor swings with all his might at the reefclaw, attempting to cut its head off.
Connor cuts the head off the first Reefclaw spilling blood into the water.
Ashrems thrown Dagger strikes the other Reefclaw in the head killing it.
"Drag them over to the reef. We can fill the pots with them, instead of measley little crabs. That ought to make our nasty ship's officers a little more friendly.... I hope..."
Allie drags two of the crab pots along the upper arm of the reef towards Connor.
Sandman was about to congratulate Anamer, but she sped away too quickly. He sighed and shook his head with a small chuckle, took a deep breath and followed her.
"Hey! Wait up!" Ashrem shouts as he looks at his dagger inbedded in the reefclaw and back at Anamer speeding towards the wreck. With a sigh he leaves the dagger and chases after her.
"Can you guys take care of them?" he asks, pointing at the fresh catch before diving in.
Allende is impressed by the speed at which Amamer dispatched the creatures. He gathers up the dead reefclaws along with the crabs. Then with a deep breath he dives towards the shipwreck.
He soon catches up.
"I wonder if that old drunk cook knows how to prepare these things," Allie wonders aloud. "Otherwise, I'm sure it will somehow be my fault if they taste bad," she says with a pouting tone.
searching the wreck you find a small locked chest, a dirt encrusted short sword, and four potions that are too dirty to identify.
Between the Reefclaws and the crabs caught earlier the crab pots are full.
"We probably ought to stash as much of this as possible, before getting back to the ship, or else Mister Plugg or Mister Scourge will probably try to claim it as their own. if one of you could hold the chest up above the water line for me, I can try to get a look inside. Whatever we find might be able to be hidden in the crab pots amidst the meat," Allie suggests.
Amamer looks thoughtfully at the things they retrieved from the bottom, and whispers softly to the waters.
"Here ye go, miss." Ashrem says as he holds the chest up on his shoulder. "We'll need to hurry though. No telling how much longer they will wait."
Allie looks the chest over to see if it is locked or trapped.
Allie produces two small, thin metal rods from somewhere within the confines of her bodice. She begins working on the lock
The mechanism gives a click, and Allie laughs with girlish glee. She places the metal rods back within her bodice and motions to her companions to open the lid.
"Dammit!" Allie screams as....
Allende helps Ashrem with holding the chest for Allie. Holding his coin he says. "Allie, may you have cunning and quick fingers of Besmara" And Allie feels a little more confident in her trapsmithing.
"Pay day!" Allie exclaims jubilantly. "We've got gold, and we need to hide it. This chest won't do. It'll be spotted in a heartbeat. Quick, everyone circle around and hold out your hands. This will only take a second."
Allie reaches into the chest, grabs a handful of coins, and quickly starts counting them out to her companions, giving each of them 20 gold pieces and keeping 20 for herself.
Once the chest is emptied, she motions to Ashrem to toss it back in the water.
"Okay, hide your coins wherever you can," she says in an uncharacteristically competent tone. "If you want to stash them in the crab pots, I'll bring them to you at rum rations. We should probably stash the potion bottles, too."
As she talks, she very adeptly begins tucking handfuls of coins into various places of her clothing, including a couple of very unlady-like ventures into her cleavage. Once finishesd, she says, "All right then, let's head back."
or take 10+1 = 11, if allowed
or take 10+1 = 11, if allowed
or take 10+1 = 11, if allowed
About halfway back to the ship, the weight of the gold, plus the full crab pot becomes too much for Allie. She struggles to keep her head above water, but only manages to gasp, "help!" once before she goes under. She kicks her feet hard, trying to get her head back above the water.
Allende takes the gold with a smile. "Well done!" he exclaims as he pockets the gold.
Connor finishes up cleaning the reefclaws with Cat as the others swim to investigate the sunken ship.. Once he is satisfied that he cleaned the reefclaw of all the meat he makes his way back to the ship.
Ashrem takes the 20 coins and hides half of them in the crab cages and the other half in various parts of his clothing. "Thank you, missy"
"Oh hey, healing and touch of the sea," Amamer announces to the group, pointing at the potions. [ooc]3xCLW, 1 TotS
She swims quickly back to the ship before her spell wears off, and....
suprise round
"Is the entire ocean out to get us?" Amamer whispers, but she recalls tales of home that pretty much say exactly that.
"آرامش خودت را حفظ کن!" she shouts, and a cold white beam shoots out of her hand towards the nearest shark.
Connor moves towards the closest shark and withdraws his cutlass. I STILL don't believe in the curse, , Connor thinks, trying to convince himself that his has nothing to do with him, I wonder if I should tell the others, .
