| Boamund and Fraud survey the captain’s chamber. It’s rather unusual. There is a table with what must be the Captain’s latest meal, some human remains, decaying. Gnawed bones are strewn on the floor. Some of the cabin’s surfaces are slightly burned, with some of these patched. He’s not a good housekeeper, whereas the rest of the ship is well tended. There is a finely wrought wooden pedestal with a similarly crafted coffer, holding 1900 guilders in mixed coins and gems, you find. Notably, there is no bed or other things a normal resident would need. | Boamund and Fraud survey the captain’s chamber. It’s rather unusual.

| And there is a “desk” (or altar?): 2m wide x 1m deep x 1m tall,assembled from carved human bones, inscribed with runes of Law, Chaos and Arkat. Atop the desk are some papers: (1) A map showing the Felster Lake region: some shipping routes are drawn, nothing immediately seeming out of the ordinary, although two routes go close to Partan Island (one to the east, one to the west side), you note soon enough; (2) A letter inked on papyrus (Safelstran): “P—Here is my final shipment of the parts you need; and I have included some spares. The Mistress should have the other shipment. I apologise for the delay; procuring some of the vital components proved difficult. Our partners had some trouble with a would-be thief. --WD” “P” here must be Pehraln, and “WD” the Captain Wat Daham. And (3) there is the ship’s log in Safelstran, too, but this will take time to peruse. | And there is a “desk” (or altar?): 2m wide x 1m deep x 1m tall,assembled from carved human bones, inscribed with runes of Law, Chaos and Arkat.

| Seeing the desk, Fraud immediately sets to destroying it. Boamund, though, looks below the desk, where there is a compartment fashioned from a dried human torso, with a flap of skin at the “stomach”, so the flesh of this hideous compartment acts like a curtain. Boamund reaches in and the flap reveals hidden fangs that grab his right arm, biting deep into his skin, and holding on to gnaw at him. Fortunately, he wrenches his arm free before it can consume his hand. [And, with two party luck points burned in the “boss fight” with the Captain to save Bog, then one here to save Boamund, you’re back at 0 party luck pts!] Fraud now proceeds to whack the structure into utter ruins. | Seeing the desk, Fraud immediately sets to destroying it.
