We arrive at at the uncharted island mentioned within the book. The island has a small cove within it, and inside of the cove is a sunken ship. I submerge into the ship to try and find some form of hint towards where the chest is. After searching around the sunken galleon, I swim into the captains quarters. On the table, I discover the ships logs within a airtight crate. I haul it aboard the ship and take the logs out. The logs tell the location of the chest near the north side of an island named fools lagoon. We lower the sails and go towards that island.
The trip was uneventful, and we managed to reach the island with enough supplies. Skepps and I jump into the water to try and find the chest they threw overboard. After several minutes of searching, Skepps notifies me that he has found the chest. He ripped it out of the sand and brings it aboard. Upon opening the chest, we find nothing but a key. The key looks like a boat totem, with a square base, and engraved on the key were the words,"under the East facing cliffs on Devils Ridge." With this hunt, we head towards the Devils Ridge in hopes to find what the key will unlock.
Upon reaching the island, we discover a painting of several boar heads. Skepps brings the key to the island while I search for a place to put the key. After some time searching, I discover a oddly flat rock, with a smaller square engraved on it. I call out for Skepps, and he puts the totem like key on the rock. It sinks down a couple of inches, and the ground shakes beneath us. The boulder with the largest boar head on it raises up into the cliff. We enter the cave only to be met with a watery table with wooden lights on each corner, four pillars with a cube on each, and a stone button. I look at the book and look at what I thought was just random pictures. They were the code to the puzzle. I turn the cubes in accordance to the book, light the flames, and press the button.
A green light flashes, and the room begins to fill with eater. I hurriedly glance at the next line of images, and rotate the blocks to match the book. Another green light flashes, and I can hear a mechanism turning. I turn the cubes according to the last row of the book, and press the button. A final green flash, and the water recedes through the floor. The wall in between the two middle pillars opens up, and reveals a small totem. The shroud breaker. I grab the totem and sprint towards the ship. We hurry to get back to the Ancient Spire Outpost to report our findings.
The mysterious stranger was presently surprised that we managed to bring back the shroud breaker, and rewards us with 8,000 gold coin each. He tells us that the gems that are supposed to be located within the totem are lost, and to further continue the quest, we must bring those gems back. He tells us that a Madam Olivia at Plunder Outpost will be able to give us information on the Cursed Rogue who might know the whereabouts of the gems.
After turning in the shroud breaker, we head back to the ship and prepare to sell all of the treasure from the Megalodon. The companies are surprised of our bounty we brought in, and reward us with a total of 13,568 gold coin each. We head back to the tavern to rest up until the next adventure.
