In exchange for a discount on ship repairs and re-naming the captured french fluyt to the "Cracked Cobbler". They will attempt to locate and rescue if needed, his daughter Veronique who has gone missing a few days prior. They also discover that anything killed on Black Coral bay will rise from the dead at sunset. So they have to be aware that anything they kill here, must be killed again after dark!
They meet a Captain Davies (a fellow Pirate) at the Green Kraken Tavern and relate the death of Captain "Meathhook" and the taking of the french fluyt, while leaving out any mention of Deadman's cove. He and his crew in turn relate recent news and rumours as well as noting the weird change in the weather.

Poking around town the crew befriend Father Wallace and follow him to the ruined castle at Skeleton Point, along the northern edge of the island.
