For those of you who have taken on ships, be careful and vigilant. According to spirits I spoke to before other captains in the past have steered their vessels into danger, as if fallen into a trance.

It's best to not leave anyone person at the helm by themselves.

Apparently, the hauntings and deaths have been happening for five years ago. There is no reason to believe it will let up all of a sudden while we don't know what is causing it.

((OOC: I meant to post this towards the beginning of the month but then life kicked my butt so here it is...super late.]

Hmmm, love a good haunting!

Perhaps hold watch of captains.

[wooden_one]

It's not something to take lightly. Especially when we don't know the source of the issue.

[Sorry he takes everything very seriously.]

[wooden_one]

Yes and have a plan in place in case anything strange happens. One hopes that only one person will be affected at once.

[downswing]

A plan?

[wooden_one]

Tying them up until they return to normal, probably. From the accounts of the spirits the loss of control doesn't appear to be violent so no one should be hurt by this course of action.

[downswing]

As if to spare them the call of water ghouls.

[wooden_one]

Hopefully. The only concern would be if the condition can be onto the next to take the wheel.

[You can't just tie everyone up.]

[downswing]

You believe the sickness contagious?

Suggesting we should keep company with those steering the ships, ah? One does wonder, only the last five years, what was it that changed then?

[wooden_one]

I believe that I don't know enough to say. However, if whatever had affected the captains in the past can do that to one person it makes sense it could happen to others.

It's better to be too cautious than not enough.

[downswing]

Wisely spoken. Let us see it done.

[wooden_one]

Yes. At least one person should be with them. As for what changed...I wasn't told. But that was also when the explorations became more numerous as well. I can only assume it has to do with that treasure they all seek.

[weifinder]

Ah, that's an answer as... some sort of control over the waters, from my understanding. What lends it being tangible in one way or another.

Do you know more of these hauntings?

[wooden_one]

Were you able to learn anything else about it?

[weifinder]

Oh, no, but ask Wrath, I suspect he's more pieces of the puzzle arranged neatly than I do. I was fleeing from irate, partly flaming bodied dead at that point.

[wooden_one]

Only what the spirit I spoke to knew. Which wasn't a lot. The Crossing was always had a reputation for being dangerous and mysterious but it had been sailed before. Then five years ago it just got significantly worse.

[wooden_one]

I see.

[Which is to say, he has no idea how to contact said person. Will he admit it though? Of course not. He'll figure it out.]

I will when I get the chance.

[wooden_one]

Binding talismans might be useful, though all the paper I had with me have gotten wet.

Because of the whole being dragged underwater by the kraken thing.]

[cairhien]

Did the spirit know what caused that?

[downswing]

I may spare pieces.

[wooden_one]

They were only their to find the treasure. I suspect, it probably has to do with that.

[wooden_one]

We can have some ready, in case anyone needs them.

[And then, sent after as if he had forgotten or had been unsure about adding it:]

Thank you.

[cairhien]

Perhaps. Though without the question asked we can only guess.

[wooden_one]

I do not think asking would help. Not without finding the right person to ask.

Most of these spirits were people who had come without truly understanding what they were even searching for.

[cairhien]

Most. That doesn't make it all of them.

[wooden_one]

I'm sure someone must have known more than what was told to everyone else.

[He says so with open contempt. This time, it's not just because he has a terrible case of resting bitch face or because he's terrible at socializing. He has nothing good to say about those who would put others' lives at risk like this.]

In these situations, there are always those who, for their own benefit and greed will lie to others...even if the results could be catastrophic.
