"If she was all knowing, you think we'd be living in a mushroom on this island? She's able to get glimpses, so far that's been enough for us to get by. Besides, she strung the tripwire you walked into, how do you know she didn't know you were going to arrive?"

You and Plibbleburp are checking out the underside of the boat, and as you were certain, it looks fine! A few cracked hull boards, some scrapes and gouges where it seems to be taking on water, but you like water! It's gonna be great.

Lia thinks the drow boy stirred, and looks over, but he seems content, and quiet. When she’s sure he’s calm, she looks back out across to Galingal and Stena. She can’t quiet follow their conversation, but no one has started fighting, or shouting, so she sees that as a good sign…
Neth contemplates the, so-called, damage to the underside of the boat. Its perfectly normal for a boat that's been through all this to have some nicks here and there, right? It MAY be taking on water, it would takes days to weeks for it to be an issue. Everything seems fine.
Neth surfaces and calls out to Gal;
"I mean... I'm not sure the boat is so bad, everything down there looks fine to me! I can definitely fix it if its what the crew wants though! Seen this a million times!"
The KT looks at Neth, then back to the water, then to Stena, then to Neth.
In Undercommon:
"If blue friend thinks we can fix, we can fix for angry dwarf woman so she not throw Plibbleburp to the water monster. Plibbleburp help real good, best fixes!"

"No maps... you surface folk? Trying to get back? I know this part of the Lake good, but not how to get topside."
There's a long pause.
"My daughter reads fortunes, may be able to help that way..."

Stena ignores the question about being surface folk and the trying to get back.
"Fortunes? Hmm. In exchange for what?"
"General fortunes, five gold. Specific questions take more out of her, forty for that. Coin, gems, or goods."

Galingal relaxes a little as Stena talks with Dragonborn. They could still be in danger but at least it wasn’t a demon or drow slavers.
He keeps his eyes moving in case this is just a distraction.
"And any upfront proof that it isn't a trick? She didn't foresee our arrival."

"The concerned screams."
Stena will gauge the dragonborn a moment longer.
"You have wood as well as prophecy for sell or barter?"
"Heh. Surface wood? No. Zhurkwood, some. What sort are you looking for? Are you in need of repairs?"

"Zhurkwood and aye will let ye know. Don't recommend ye come too close, aye'm the patient one."
She moves back to confer with Galingal, filling him in on the details. She will keep making sure the guy isn't getting too close.
"As long as none of you mess with my boat, I'll hold right here. But if you're needing repairs, hope at least one of you knows what you're doing."

Galingal listens but shakes his head at the idea of paying for a fortune teller.
"We know future has death and fighting," Galingal says. "Don't need fortune teller for that."
He gestures down at the water.
"But if those two see what wrong, might need wood. to fix"
"No one will mess with your boat."
To Galingal's comments,
"Agreed. How long have they been down there?"

Galingal looks down in the water.
"Few moments." Galingal says. "If Neth come and say fine, all fine, we need ask KT."
"Somehow he became even less trustworthy."
Lia thinks the drow boy stirred, and looks over, but he seems content, and quiet. When she’s sure he’s calm, she looks back out across to Galingal and Stena. She can’t quiet follow their conversation, but no one has started fighting, or shouting, so she sees that as a good sign…

"KT think same thing?" Gal asks.
Neth looks to the KT and asks what he thinks in undercommon.
The KT looks at Neth, then back to the water, then to Stena, then to Neth.
