"I for sure won't get her that. I don't like ships and I like ship wrecks much less. I'm not going into any water." Abomentolor refuses the offered job.
"I think it's a fair deal." Tauriell replies chuckling. "We get her these kelpie's hair and she refrains to put us in her pot."
Tauriell takes a look at the lagoon and asks "If you don't mind we would go there using the path over your island. I'm not afraid of water but I'm also not fond of swimming long distances with all that gear."
"If you have to." the half orc replies still grumpy.
"If you don't come you can look after my stuff for me." Tauriell says to Abomentolor and drops her bag and her backpack. Also her bow and the arrows. "Who else is coming with me? I guess Mr. Tin Can would better stay here. Or at least the tin can."
"I'll help you collect this sea weed. I have my sickle here. I'm an experienced collector of herbs." Gwenhwyfar replies. Se also drops her luggage and walks over the bridge.
As Gwenhwyfar walks past the hut the raven on the shoulder of the woman looks at the cat following her with suspicion.
Tauriell hurries to follow Gwenhwyfar "How are you going to get that cat of your's over the water?"
"I'll carry her." Gwenhwyfar replies picking up Destinée.
"The shipreck might be haunted by the way." the half orc woman calls after them.
Tauriell stops and turns around. "That's nice of you to tell us. Do you have some details to share?"
"No. I don't know specifics. I don't go there because you know, it's haunted." the half-orc woman explains.
"Then let's see what it is. We can always run away if we don't like what we find." Tauriell says to Gwenhwyfar.
She then jumps head first into the water of the lagoon to swim over to the beach of the bigger island.
Gwenhwyfar steps to the edge of the island, looks at the water and then flies over to the other island. There she waits hovering in the air for Tauriell to come.
As Tauriell comes to the shore they walk together around the isle until they come unto the remains of the ship. A ring of jagged coral surrounds the hull of this sunken ship. Its decks are thick with blooms of seaweed, particularly near the wreck’s bow.
The ship lies 10 feet from the shore and is completely under water.
"How about you carry me too on the way back?" Tauriell asks.
As they find the ship she sits down on the shore and watches the wreck. "Do you see anything out of the ordinary?" she asks Gwenhwyfar.
"I don't think I can carry you in flight." Gwenhwyfar replies.
Gwenhwyfar also looks at the wreck trying to find a haunting.
There is nothing out of the ordinary there. But on looking at the ship Tauriell sees something that might be an ordinary skeleton arm entangled in the seaweed.
"So that is the haunting? Some dead sailors?"
She gets up and ready to dive. "Let's get this over with." She jumps in and dives to ship with her new dagger between her teeth to cut an arm full of the seaweed.
As Tauriell grabs the seaweed to cut it the skeleton arm starts to move on it's own.
Tauriell would say 'Hey you're supposed to be dead'. But underwater she refrains from that.
The skeleton moves around but looses it's hold and fails to do anything.
Six more skeletons come out of the broken hull of the ship.
Tauriell stabs at the skeleton at hand with the dagger.
Gwenhwyfar follows above the water and as she sees all the skeletons emerge she casts spectral hand.
The skeleton claws at Tauriell.
but misses.
One more manages to swim up.
But misses too.
Tauriell stabs again at the skeleton at hand with the dagger.
Gwenhwyfar casts cure light wounds and has the spectral hand deliver it to one of the skeletons.
The skeleton is infused with a golden radiance and disintegrates.
The one skeleton with the elf figts with the water.
Almost all of the remaining skeletons make it to Tauriell and claw at her.
But attacking and hitting are two different things.
Tauriell stabs again at a skeleton with growing frustration.
As it worked quite good Gwenhwyfar repeats her action.
The skeleton also is infused with radiation but stays intact.
The one Tauriell stabs breaks apart and sinks to the ground.
Four skeletons claws at Tauriell.
But only one manages to scratch her due to flanking.
But from below another skeleton wearing a tricorne and wielding a rapier comes up and stabs at Tauriell.
But it misses too.
So far it was rather easy but now there are too many of them for Tauriell's taste. And the water hinders her.
Gwenhwyfar once again sends the hand to 'heal' a skeleton.
But fails to deliver.
Three skeleton claws at Tauriell.
To no avail.
And the one with the hat stabs at her.
Actually drawing blood.
Tauriell destroys the skeleton.
Gwenhwyfar tries again to deliver the spell she cast.
One more skeleton sinks broken to the ground and one disintegrates from the golden glow.
One skeleton claws at Tauriell.
And the one with the rapier stabs at her again.
Tauriell is fed up with this guy and his rapier. She drops her dagger and disarms the skeleton ripping the blade from his cold dead hand.
The skeleton uses this bold move to make another attack
But fails to connect and loses it's blade.
Gwenhwyfar sends her last cure light wounds via the hand to 'heal' a skeleton.
Another skeleton disintegrates in golden light.
Two skeletons claw at Tauriell plus the one who lost it's blade.
Tauriell stabs at another skeleton who clawed at her with the rapier.
She then swims to the surface and shouts "Heal me!"
Swimming away provokes more attacks from the skeletons that don't fight the water.
Gwenhwyfar reaches down to apply her heal hex.
One skeleton claws at Tauriell. The others fail to follow her.
Tauriell returns the favour.
Or at least tries to.
As the skeleton comes up to the surface too Gwenhwyfar changes to using her heal hex on the skeleton.
The skeleton disintegrates.
Both remaining skeletons swim up and claw at Tauriell.
Tauriell stabs at the skeleton with the hat.
"I'm bleeding to death here. Do something!" Tauriell shouts.
Gwenhwyfar casts cure serious wounds and delivers it via the spectral hand.
