The team figured out the stairs were occupied by a haunt, and they sought to put the spirit to rest. The haunt again tried to shove them down the stairs but failed. At the bottom, the discovered a broken skeleton and surmised the haunt was this individual. They also found a door that they eventually got open to reveal a holding cell with scratch marks all over the walls. Ricktar entered and was attacked by two walcofinded pirates! The hungry undead tried to eat him, but the team was able to destroy them and perform a burial for the haunt’s bones as well.
They again tried to get through the door cursed with the black spot but to no avail. Elsbeth then turned into a raven and scouted the Mermaid’s Lament once again. Should could see a glow and skeleton in the captain’s quarters, so she landed by the door and turned into a rat. Behind her, three putrescent shamblers rose up and attacked!
The team tried to rush across the gangplank but were stalled by the nauseating creatures. Elsbeth was badly hurt and squeezed under the door to try and find safety. Instead, she found the skeletal champion of the pirate captain! It attacked with twin short swords and cut her down. Valetin and his dog jumped the gap from land to the ship and engaged. Reth and Gretchen were dumped into the sea when an exploding shambler destroyed the plank! Ricktar jumped across too, and the fray was frantic. Valetin summoned celestial apes to attack the captain, but he kept cutting them down with ease. Finally, the team cleared the top deck and saved Elsbeth’s life. Searching the captain and his quarters, they found his magical armor and swords, a crossbow, an everburning torch, a magical ring, some expendable magic items, a concertina, and a key.
The group then opened the hold and found it partially flooded. Ricktar jumped in and found it inhabited by a giant jellyfish!
