Wandering over the ship, you find an entrance into a storage area. Along with the food (long rotted away) and the water (evaporated), the room is filled with several large chests.

Choice Text and Results
Search the chests
(With a golden key in inventory)
After a bit of a search, you find one of the chests matches up with that golden key you've been carrying around. The chest pops open obediently, revealing a range of treasures.
Once you've taken your mind off the chest for a moment, however, both the chest and the key have vanished.
You found: 3-5 piles of ancient gold coins
You found: 2-3 of: gold framed spectacles, inlaid saber, medicine pouch, misty gem, rum flask, sailor's charm, sea journal and/or treasured musket
(Without a golden key in inventory)
As you search the room for the easiest chest to open, a spectral form glides through the wall. He grimaces at you and mouths the word "mine" before launching to attack you.

Hide and nap
(Sometimes - no known trigger)
As you lay down to rest, you hear a far off squeaking like rats. It's not a sound you're accustomed to hearing on this ship, but that still doesn't serve to prepare you for the mass of rats boiling from a nearby porthole.

(Other times)
Ignoring the chests, you curl up and take a short nap. Somewhat to your surprise, nothing bothers you.
You feel a bit better and less afraid of the ship.
You've gained 30 hit points
You've earned 3 XP in Will
Walk away
(Sometimes - no known trigger)
As you walk away, back onto the deck, a spectral shape emerges from the mists. It shrieks and charges.
