I'm sure Aysa won't love this plan, but it's the only plan we've got. Would you mind being the bearer of bad news for me, <name>? She needs to know what we're doing so she can get everyone to safety.

From Bad to Worse
Go southeast toward the Wreck of the Skyseeker. Continue southeast along the path until you come to the Alliance camp and Delora Lionheart near the wreck (also fairly near the waters edge at the coastline. (42.2 86.6)
There are several mobs of "Darkened Terrors" along the way.
If you go directly to the southwest, you will more than likely encounter more Darkened Terrors and Darkened Horrors than you'd like to. Since most of them are in groups of 2 or 3 these are fights you may want to avoid.
The easiest way to get to Lora Lionheart is to do the following:
1. Jump at the first Darkened Terror or Darkened Horror you find and get yourself killed :P
2. Since you are only level 10 or below, you can rezz without penalty and/or damage, so do just that.
3. Then follow the path back towards the questgiver untill you come to the bridge.
4. Jump in the water on the left side of the bridge and swim towards the end of the stream
5. Get out of the water, talk to Lora Lionheart and turn in the quest
I did this on 2 chars, and both times I only bumped into 1 Darkened Terror and 1 Darkened Horror.

We can help you get your ship free, but we'll need more of the explosives we were trying to take back from the Alliance to make it happen. I ordered the men to grab all the explosives they could before making our escape.

Your friend has been doing everything she can to save my crew. I'm deeply appreciative. We're still dealing with more than we can handle here: quenching the fires on the wreckage, getting my people out, fighting off these evil sea creatures, and trying to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
