Description
The note in this bottle is soaked through, but still legible. In it, the author claims to have escaped from some sort of undersea naga prison. He is clearly in fear for his life, and you can't help but wonder if it might be one of your recently abducted shipmates. At a loss as to how to locate the escapee, you determine to share the find with Erunak.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ophidophobia
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snakes. Any kind of snake - doesn't matter. While I was out searching for salvage, I saw a nest of sea serpents surrounding the nearby wreckage. I simply can't relax knowing that those awful creatures could slither up in here at any moment. Please, <class>!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Oh, the Insanity!
So, I've been thinkin'... If someone's out-of-their-mind-guano-crazy, do they know it? Case in point, I coulda swore that I'd collected a barrel of gunpowder from the cannonballs around here, but it's nowhere ta be found.
