Starting Situation

The restored sailing ship Mercy's Rest, after visiting hours. Holding the logbook you found in a sealed cabin, you have climbed onto the deck alone. The fog is so thick that the dock's streetlights seem far away. The ship is firmly moored, yet the deck beneath your feet slowly tilts, as if drawing a breath, and then settles back. The rusted ship's bell atop the mast tolls once, though there is no wind. Then the cabin doors creak open one by one, at precisely the same intervals. From the moment you read the last sentence of the log, every sound on this ship began to link together like a single sentence. A chill climbs along the grain of the deck planks up to your toes. The ship is watching you.
