Meanwhile, aboard the ship, Syltra practices with some of her newer spells, using control water to gently rock the Belle back and forth, against the natural tide. It takes some concentration, but she is obviously growing in power.
Misha stops rocking the Belle and snickers, covering her mouth, and quickly sprints up back on the Belle, pretending to do something ordinary. She gently pats her Acheronian strength gauntlets, and tried to maintain her cool, somewhat successfully.
"Our worst fears are confirmed. Virgil has brought word of disaster. A war galley fully loaded with pirates approaches from the southwest. It flies the flag of the raiders and bears the name of the cursed ship Tammeraut. We must prepare what feeble defense we can muster. Woe to the folk of the coast at the approach of this bloody tide. Miracle of miracles! The storm lord has answered the prayers of our illustrious chaplain. A furious storm blew in from the open sea and swept the war galley to its doom. But I believe that the vessel went down near the Pit of Hatred, an ill-starred undersea chasm two miles south of Firewatch Isle. This does not bode well, for the rift is said to be a passage to a source of interminable evil that was long ago sealed away. If the wreckage should rupture the wards, terrible darkness might be unleashed. I must mount an expedition to the sunken hulk and make sure all is well. A fell wind blows this evening. I fear the wards on the rift have been broken. I must set out first thing in the morning to inspect the wreckage."
Crawling up from the right side of the hermitage from the beach appears to be a small wave of undead approaching. They don't look friendly. They approach the hermitage by the front door, AREA 4, and search for you all. Might be a good idea to go downstairs and handle these intruders.

Rather than run downstairs and meet the undead head on, Sloop stays upstairs and uses the castle’s natural defenses as cover, and will shoot arrows through the arrow slots and murder holes through the walls to attack the friendly visitors.

“Never again,” she can be heard murmuring.

You now know exactly where the Tammeraut is.
