Mermaid, Board 3

[battleshipmod]

With the help of your animal companions, the submarine's inner machinery sputters and grinds to a final halt, just as you hear and see through the porthole that it has surfaced in a small pool.

When you and your comrades climb out an emergency hatch open and onto dry land, you find yourself in a huge cave. The ceiling reaches high above your heads and into the shadows… and stretching as far as the eye can see is a veritable sea of treasure! It completely covers the ground and stacks high into the air like waves in motion. You can see the mermaids’ missing colors among the various treasures, thankfully still intact.

You're weary. And even surrounded by treasures everywhere, you're kind of mad. You might not have minded helping the mermaids instead of your original quest, but your day just keeps getting ruined by those nasty treasure-stealing goblins. But you'll show them. You're going to finally return the colors back to the mermaids, and you'll claim the goblins' treasure hoard for yourself and your friends.

In the distance, beyond some hills of treasures blocking your view, you can hear the voices and the various clattering of treasures. They don't sound like goblins… they sound like other adventurers! Seems like you're not the only ones in the goblins' treasure cave. You'd better hurry before the others pick the place clean!
