    Cutty resumes being upbeat and encouraging, since heading straight to port town is what she would have done in the first place.

    "I think that went perfectly! All is going according to plan!" Beth insisted, though even she was having a hard time believing it on the journey north.

    "No, of course I couldn't have known what their abilities are. The original plan was to go to the ruins, take everything we wanted, and head off to the port!" Beth bobbed her head left and right, mulling over how to spin this.
    "And then we did. We just realized we didn't want any of what they had."

    You continue on your way. Muk walks ahead of you all, with Gerald in tow, leaving Gwen for you three to look after.

    The nearest port is now quite near-if you travel for the rest of this day and the next, you should reach it at nightfall.

    As you travel, you spot, in the distance, a faint glint of something shiny. It looks valuable.

    "Ooh! That must be..." she looks up at Muk excitedly, then feigns avoiding eye contact. She needs him to think she doesn't want to get his hopes up, even though she totally does. "Well, I don't want to say it, 'cause I'll feel really dumb if I'm wrong... but we should definitely check it out!"

    "Hmm? That must be - oh. Oh. Ohhhh. " Beth bobbed in a hovering nod
    ”I understand. I get you. I am picking up what you are putting down. I have total comprehension of your intended message. We have no miscommunication whatsoever."
    Having thus reassured Cutty, Beth smiled and began following her sister.

    Muk seems at least a little interested, but is still grumpy.

    When you get closer to the shiny object, you see it's a ring, situated on the finger of a skeleton. It looks like there was a small upheaval of dirt, revealing the body and its shiny ring.

    On the way to the shiny Bambi is deep in thought. Nobody had put anything down. Nobody had picked anything up, it was rather confusing.

    "Ooooh! Check it out!"

    At least nominally wary of traps and of the undead, Cutty keeps a relatively safe distance and reaches out with a tentacle to pick up and inspect the ring. Does it have any engravings? Gems? What color is it?

    The ring, when looking closer, is made of fine silver. It's quite sturdy, and has no visible engravings or gems.

    Touching it makes you feel a little lighter.

    Nothing appears to be different. You definitely feel a slight tingling from the ring, though, which has resized itself to fit perfectly. Muk asks "Can I try? It looks pretty!"

    Digging a hole first does not even cross Bambi's mind. Unless somebody stops him, he will simply try to push the skeleton into the ground with brute strength.
