Silas lowers his blade, speaking through his gills. "We are friends of your lady, Bethany. We come with no ill intent in mind."
"No ill intent. I suppose. Look, you'd really rather talk to them. I can be a little unpleasant."
Well that comes across about as well as
Chúng ta là bạn của phụ nữ của bạn . Chúng tôi đến với không có ý xấu trong tâm trí .
You will need to find another means to communicate.
"I could attempt to summon a lantern archon or hound archon, but we would have to come up with a way for them to breathe underwater. However, they can speak with all creatures."
Silas sheathes his rapier and tries to convey they are friends. If he can he will throw in a reference to a sweetheart to bring to mind Bethany.
He seems to get something out of that. Bluff, exactly what are you trying to do Silas?
The ghostly captain relents, breaks off his assault, and attempts to tell the story of his tragic fate. He points to the dagger still lodged between his ribs and demands they take it to Bethany.
If Uraisa can figure out what the back and forth from Silas and the ghost were discussing, she will take the dagger from the body and attempt to give it back to Bethany.
The Great Betrayal
No matter how glorious Bonedeuce’s achievements, one commander continually proved his better. Jacob Razor, whose kin discovered the Coast in ages past, was a legendary pirate and formerly a member of Bloodbane’s own crew. Jacob gave up the skull-and-cross to serve Port Shaw after a lovely elven freebooter named Bethany Moonsliver stole his heart. Jacob left the service of the Pirate King and married his sylvan love, defecting to Port Shaw’s side in the bloody conflict. Razor’s skill as a seaman was beyond comprehension, his bravery in battle second to none, and his intimate knowledge of the Pirate King’s tactics aided him in his fight against Bloodbane’s armada. Bethany was a skilled captain in her own right and trained in the druidic traditions of her ancestors. The couple seemed invincible, single handedly turning the tide of war. Jacob Razor’s victories far outshone Gregory Bonedeuce’s, and scuttlebutt among the higher ups of Port Shaw hinted Jacob was first in line for commandant of Port Shaw’s Municipal Dragoons, once he defeated Bloodbane. Harthagoa was not about to allow the Razors to ruin his ambitions for Gregory Bonedeuce. The Krakenfiend concocted a simple plan. By this time, the Pirate King Garr Bloodbane, beleaguered and hard pressed, retained only his command ship, the Dark Lady, and one more seaworthy frigate, Devil’s Grasp. Garr holed up near an atoll not far from Beacon Island to lay low and rebuild his fleet.
Harthagoa informed Bonedeuce of the Pirate King’s hideaway, commanding the captain to inform Jacob Razor as well. Razor suggested his fast running man-o-war, Razor’s Edge, team up with Bonedeuce’s current command, the Pride, and quickly ambush Bloodbane before they missed their chance and he went to ground again. With no time to gather a fleet, the two captains engaged Garr in the bedlam of battle. By the end of it, Pride was crippled and Garr’s Dark Lady rested below the waves. Garr Bloodbane himself met death on Razor’s sword during a brief boarding action. But triumph turned to dark betrayal.
Jacob Razor, bloodied and barely able to swim after his brutal battle with the Pirate King aboard the sinking Dark Lady, staggered to the deck of the Pride. Even as Gregory Bonedeuce pulled his fellow captain from the waves, he rammed a dagger in Jacob’s ribs. Disbelief written on his face, Jacob Razor watched his heart’s blood stain the deck.
A lookout on Jacob’s ship spotted the calumny. Before the survivors among his crew could turn their ship about and avenge their beloved captain, a forest of barbed tentacles rose from the deep and dragged Razor’s Edge with all witnesses down to the crushing deeps. Gregory Bonedeuce shoved the dying Captain Razor over the side to float to the
ocean floor alongside his beloved ship, thus becoming the sole surviving captain of the last Pirate War.
Bonedeuce ordered the crippled Pride to run aground on Beacon Island, where he proceeded to hunt and murder his surviving crew. A week later, a passing patrol spotted the stranded Pride and rescued Bonedeuce. He told the tale of the battle upon his return, extolling the bravery of Jacob Razor, relating his fellow captain’s heroic fall to Garr’s battleaxe, and claiming to have brought the Pride to shore, single handed. Bonedeuce also took credit for Garr’s death himself, claiming he slew the pirate just before the powder main on the Razor’s Edge exploded and sank the ship with no survivors.
He also demands the PCs acquire his blood debt but appears
barred from explaining further.
The ghostly captain relents, breaks off his assault, and attempts to tell the story of his tragic fate. He points to the dagger still lodged between his ribs and demands they take it to Bethany.
Brunner looks at the pirate, then Silas and Uraisa "We can take that dagger to his beloved right?"
Silas nods solemnly. "It will be a pleasure to bring Bonedeuce to justice."
Oro-Tu grunts and nods.
By all that is holy, we will have vengeance apon him - his head will roll, As the hand of FALKENJAGGER, I swear it!!!! I never did like him anyway.
Upon agreement, Capt Razor shows you his final resting place.
Leialoha nods agreement and goes with the others to his resting place.
Jacob’s chainmail, dagger, and scimitar lie with his barnacled bones. From between two of his ribs juts an ivory handled masterwork dagger, with “G.B.” carved into the pommel.
Brunner looks at the armor and weapons, are they in good condition or has the salt water ruined them.
Uraisa gestured to the others, pointing to the surface, asking if they were ready to head back up or wanted to explore anything further.
All are in pristine condition. The passage continues ahead.
Laialoha detects magic on everything before continuing.

Oro-Tu helps collect the remains and to make sure the ship is clear of remains and treasure.
Silas nods to Uraisa and points towards the tunnel. He kneels and takes Bonedeuce's dagger. Standing he indicates the other items to the rest of the party.
Leialoha helps Oro-Tu take a last look around before departing, knowing that the items will be more use to the rest of the group.
The tunnel is lightless and proceeds about 200' upwards.
Uraisa falls into her usual spot in line, and starts using her heightened senses to scan for trouble.
Perception
This cave is as dark as the passage leading here and almost as
damp. The hidden grotto sits above sea level.
Leialoha casts a light cantrip and letting the warriors take the lead, follows up the tunnel toward the hidden grotto.
Uraisa takes her usual spot second in line as they head toward the hidden tunnel.
The grotto is full of sharks!

Init.
Leialoha narrows his eye at the sight of the sharks, "Where there are sharks, there must be Dajobas. Hold a moment." The wizard pulls a rod out of his belt and sends a ball of electricity flying toward the group of sharks where it bursts in blast catching as many as he can.
