Solving the Corsair Curse

1. Investigate the Crew
Captain Tock will give you a captain’s log and ask you to investigate the members of his crew. Talk to the following crew members:

- **Deckhand: Speak to him near the water. He will give you a yellow herring.
- **Gunslick: Speak to him near the cannons. He will give you a green herring.
2. Analyze the Herring
Use a pestle and mortar to grind each of the four herrings into a powder. Then, combine them to create a multicolored herring powder.
