Sleeping with the Fishes

Quest ID: 981

Captain Rhubarb suggested that we start digging. With all of these ghosts lurking around, I think we all know what we're going to find. Straw dolls and scarecrows are meant to trick crows into thinking they're real humans after all. The Captain grabbed a few shovels from the cart. Take one and dig until the only thing you can see is sand.

It's nothing but bones. Full human skeletons laid on their backs, weighed down by rocks. Rhubarb and I didn't find any sign of the bones being broken, or any chains that tied their limbs together. They were here willingly. Traditions change over time, and I think the current ritual evolved from a version where the town sacrificed their own people to appease the 'Sea Witch.' Eventually, they tried to trick her by using fakes.
