+You probe the ship. You do not detect the presence of any tentacles
+inside the ship. But you do detect the presence of the crystal you
+seek.
+
+If you scan the trench, you will detect the presence of a
+*harrowkrake*. A colossal, many-tentacled sea monster with a plow
+shaped shell that it drags across the ocean floor, digging deep
+furrows. Kind of like if a giant squid could grow a nautilus shell.
+They are usually content to stay in their trenches, grabbing prey as
+it swims by with their long tentacles like some kind of nightmarish
+barnacle.
+
+The giant manta is still gliding around crunching on candies. A few
+blue spherical globules of harrowkrake blood float lazily upward from
+where Gabs got her stabs on, attracting the attention of a couple
+horkosgrampus. The manta gives them a wide berth but doesn't
+otherwise seem too concerned about them.
+
+Horkosgrampus are toothy whales with a single long tusk. They are
+mostly scavengers, and are only provoked to violence in the presence
+of a lie or the breaking of an oath, in which case they go into a
+frenzy preying on the liar or liars. They can smell blood from a
+great distance, but can hear a lie from much further.
+
+
+You hear a thud from inside the ship, and a slow rustling like smooth
+stones rolling over each other. The ship settles a little further
+onto its side, and dangles just a little further over the harrowkrake
+trench.
