Encountered

Ghost Ship, once the masked shaman is dealt with.

On Winning

If the 5 sailors have not been dealt with:

The hands vanish into mists and the mask hovers, slowly descending towards the deck. The gourd you've been carrying glows brightly for a moment and you hear tortured screams drifting from it.

An explosion rips through the deck, hurling you back towards the main mast, and you see the mask rising back up.

Otherwise:

The hands vanish into the mists. You hear a hollow laugh as the mask hovers, waiting for something. A moment later, the mask falls to the deck and shatters into a thousand bone fragments.
