Trunks Marked with Striker's Name

Two large leather trunks bearing the name 'Striker' stenciled in peeling black paint on their curved brass-bound lids. The trunks sit stacked in the yacht’s hold, their aged hide cracked from salt air and damp, releasing a musty odor that mixes with the ship’s creaking timbers. Turlough’s lantern illuminates the dust swirling around their buckles as he runs his fingers over the monogram, sensing their unnatural presence before the hypnotized crew member appears with his swaying oil lamp.
