Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

Manachan's magic strikes the hag down, and she hangs limp in the water, her trident drops from her lifeless fingers.

Out in the shattered hold of the ship, the shark suddenly flicks its tail and swims out of the hole in the hull, into the Jeggare River.

Mhairi

After the display of magical firepower, Mhairi shakes her head sadly while turning to find her discarded crossbow. Edmond's got some neat tricks. Manachan's a wizard of sorts. What have I got? A couple of pointy bits of metal. You need a new set of skills, girl, especially if you're going to hang out with these guys for much longer.

Ignatius shouts something at the retreating shark but does not pursue. Putting his morningstar back on his belt, he touches the face of his shield and invokes the heavenly forces to heal the wounds he received from the shark.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Edmond struggles to stay upright, but holding the glaive stuck into the bottom helps. He looks over his companions and motions for Ignatius toward Manachan before waiving Mhairi behind him. He sends one of his lights up front in the room and walks in behind it.

Turning toward the girl, he shows his eyes, then her then sweeps his arm around. He checks the body and then looks around the room joining Mhairi in her search.

The strange seaweed wrappings on the hag dissolve as she dies; evidently some kind of spell or magical ability. Apart from a few scraps of clothing her only possessions are her short two-pronged spear and a pair of bracers that are better quality than the rest of her tatty equipment.

Judging by the broken jumble of furniture the room was once the cabin of a ship' officer. Most of it is now damaged by the ship's sinking but Mhairi finds two things. One is a narrow metal coffer like the ones floating around in the hold, but this one is still intact and closed, decorated with small skulls. The other is another coffer, small and slimline and made of darkwood. This one is also closed.

Ignatius swims over and takes a quick glance at Manachan's wounds before joining the investigation of the cabin. Mouthing a few words, he reaches out with his senses to find any telltale traces of magical energy to investigate.

Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
Manachan allows Ignatius to examine his wounds, but tries to make it known through gestures that he's not seriously harmed. He moves around the cabin with the others to investigate.

Mhairi

Looking at the two wooden boxes, Mhairi could barely restrain her glee. Gold and silver! These chests must be filled with coins, or there wouldn't have been anyone to guard them! Though...the guards were strange. Wonder if the others would mind if I opened one?

Trying to catch the boys' attention, she floated down over the coffer without the skulls and examined it for locks, traps and the like. Given there was a hag in the area it wouldn't do to make a rookie mistake on traps and get them all killed.

[sblock=ooc]
What is the rough size of these coffers? Like a chest at the foot of a bed, or the size of a human forearm? Carryable by a single person?

Sorry for nagging over details, am trying to work out how we can extract them if they're huuuuuge.

OOC: The skull coffers are quite small; one could easily be carried tucked under the arm of an adult human. They're similar to the kind of coffer that money is usually kept in.... The other one is smaller still; quite flat, like a wooden briefcase.

Mhairi studies the skull-decorated metal coffer. She can see no evidence that it is trapped, and it doesn't seem to be locked, opening with a simple catch.

[sblock=Ignatius]
The hag's spear/trident is magical, as are the copper bracers that she wears, and the skull-decorated coffer that Mhairi is currently studying. Ignatius is unable to identify the type of magic on these except for the bracers, which radiate faint abjuration.

Ignatius propels himself over to Mhairi and taps her on the shoulder, pointing to the coffer and wiggling his fingers in an imitation of spellcasting. After he is sure she has gotten his meaning, he points to to trident and bracers as well, making the same motion. The ifrit says a prayer asking for guidance to be given to Mhairi. Then he swims back away. Far away.
