A small island has sails hung from palm trees. It is moving at a rapid pace and pulls up next to you. On it you see a man with tattered clothes and an age-old beard. It's a traveling merchant. It doesn't look like he has many goods, but he appears to have a lot of money. All of his goods are laid out neatly on a very tattered, red and white checker blanket. The trader will buy nearly anything. Any attempt to steal from him or harm him causes the coconuts to become shrouded in blue flames. The island is protected by the haunted souls lost at sea.

The party comes across an unexplained abandoned ship floating on the high seas. Exploring the craft is a disturbing experience - the PC's continually see things moving out of the corner of their eye.
