Granberia
A manage to make the jump. And splash into the water near the forecastle of the sunken ship which I am still unable to unidentify I take the breathing reed and pop it in my mouth and surface enough to poke it out of the water and enter though a gap in the haul. I swim lower and find skeleton. I swim past it. I surface again to breathe inside the ship resubmerging and head for the captains quarters. when something catches my eye underwater. a book near the skeletons hand."
Salamander "This book is enchanted Granberia It cannot become wet, it's probably cursed too."
Granberia "Thanks for the warning. Mom." I say with a smile.
I continue on ignoring the book and entering the captain's quarters i think, but i find the kitchen, I decide to see if I can find any goods.
GM Text Here "what does she find?"
I surface once more and continue onwards and eventually reach my goal, but unfortunately the door is locked.
G "Alright we're going to need a new plan, let's return to base for now."
S "Damn, and I was hoping to see Undine and her pet Hippocampus too. Why couldn't you be a water dragonkin Granberia!"
As I swim by the skeleton I instinctly snatch the book and quickly swim away
I return with the stuff needed to completely explore ship, "the skeleton since I took the book."
@CJC
any chance I can fight the skeletons when I/we come back here? It would of moved of course since removing it's treasured belonging. "this one was the captain."
also I'm curious what the nature of this ship is. Perhaps it was an exploring ship?
Well... self-animating skeletons wouldn't really be a thing. It's possible that a magician could be animating them, but I need to think on this. It will be easier to explain after the next update, as I'll be posting an explanation of each of the magical schools and that can be used as a reference for how the dead are being animated (or rather how the book came to be cursed in the first place).

Scavenge for not rotten food in the kitchen. "Obviously canned goods. I can only carry a small amount in my under garments (top and bottom) since I have my reed and book (ship log???) in each hand.

Granberia,
Alas, it seems this ship has been submerged for quite some time, considering the crew's bodies have nothing left but their skeletons. The kitchen is full of putrescent brown clouds which may have been edible when the ship was sailing but are nothing short of disgusting now.
Still, you do find something interesting: it's a knife. It's made of a clean, white material. Ceramic? It looks very sharp. You take it, since you are currently without weaponry following your loss of the Wyrmkiller.
Emerging from the water, you take note that the book you acquired is a DIARY. As you try to open it you feel a tremendous burst of cold, forcing you to turn away. You slam it shut.
