While knocking around on the throne, Skrelznit finds that there is a hollow space under the throne. The throne looks very heavy.
gold-plated conch shell engraved with images of sea elves and hippocampi that holds a selection of putrid fish and humanoid livers.
a gilt tattooing kit
a burnished brass hand mirror.
a gold Varisian music box that holds the ivory image of a dancing harrower. Inscribed on the underside of the lid are the words “For my darling Isabella".
potions of cure moderate wounds (2)
masterwork scale mail
Magical trident (spellcraft check)
eel leather and coral war harness
deep platinum necklace
"th-thanks." says Zaaka. He still seems a bit shaky and is hurt a bit. He points at the trident. "That's an evil thing."
"You get stuck by it and then tell me how it's just a weapon!" He calls. He tries stretching out his muscles to work out this magical tightness, but they aren't getting any better. "It did something to me. I can't move right."
Zaaka opens his mouth to respond, but all that happens is a couple hitches of his chest. He turns and swims away toward the back of the cavern, not looking back.
"Go 'way."
Sassarra looks at Skrelznit with a glance that suggests that he handle this before she has to get involved. She keeps watch while the boys work out their differences.

Skrelznit trails after Zaaka dejectedly.
Aww, come on. I didn't means it-k-k-k! I was all hopped up over the battle-k-k-k! I gots the Battle Fever, you heard of that right-k-k-k?
He watches Zaaka swim away. He calls out,
But I's better now-k-k-k! You's not an oaf, you is Zaaka the Pointy, defender of the Dragon's Kin and mightiest warrior in the land-k-k-k!
He quickly swims to catch up.
Skrelznit is really sorry. We good, right-k-k-k?
He does look back, but he still seems a bit wary. "I'm not mighty. I almost died."

Skrelznit scoffs.
Ha! You went toe-to-toe with that oversized, over-armed monster, and he still needed a mighty magic trident to even put a dent in you-k-k-k.
He puts his arm around Zaaka's shoulder in a friendly embrace.
Imagine how mighty we could be with that on our side-k-k-k.
His voice begins to get grandiose as his free arm sweeps out a great vision.
Why, we would be the scourge of the high seas, an' you...you our fiercest warrior-k-k-k!
Come on, let's get you patched up-k-k-k.
Skrelznit is genuinely sorry he hurt Zaaka's feelings .
"He was pretty nasty. I guess even big heroes need to face some hard challenges!" He seems to turn himself around at that. "Let's go kill some more fish-people!"
Quinn tries to help Zaaka; touches him. Healing dex damage.
"Ooh, that's better. thank you."
Zaaka will drink a potion and then motion for us to move on.
Sassarra will approach the throne to look over this hollow spot.
The hollow spot looks to be under the throne. The throne looks to be made of stone.
Quinn pulls out a crowbar and tries to tilt the throne over, but fails.
"Strength isn't the issue. We need to use brains. Zaaka and Quinn, use your rope on the back while Skrelznit uses the crowbar." She'll instruct each of them where to place the rope and crowbar for maximum mechanical advantage.
Slowly the throne starts to tilt, till at last it falls over. You find a opening under where the throne once stood. It looks like a passage.
Zaaka and Sassarra will follow, being sneaky and perceptive.
The chamber hidden below the great throne is empty save for two chests. One is a iron-banded chest decorated with skulls that seems to have held up remarkably well considering its immersion in seawater. The other is a stone box with the image of a fish-headed demon carved onto its
lid, whose seams appear to have been sealed by lead.
Sassarra can tell that the stone box is cemented to the floor. She also thinks it is a trap.

Skrelznit examines the stone box.
Besmara, you is mighty. Help me see the truth.
Besmara, helps me to keep all my fingers, please.
Being the suspicious sort, Skelznit carefully eyes the iron-banded chest.
Besmara, Skrelznit needs help again.
Besmara, one last time, then Skrelznit leaves you alone for a while?
Assuming he still has all his fingers after all of that, and with Captain Sassarra's blessing, Skrelznit attempts to open the iron-banded chest first, then if nothing eats him open the stone box also.
Looking the stone box over, Skrelnit peels at the wax. A little bit of red starts leaking out, but Skrelznit skillfully caps the wax again and ducks away from the little red spores.
The Iron-braned chest does not looks to be trapped, but finds it looked.
"Let's keep that for someplace dry." she says. "We move on."
