Summary
You have acquired The Shroudbreaker Artefact, but the Mysterious Stranger tells you that it is missing four jewels that grant its power to break The Devil's Shroud. He remembered Captain Briggsy reaching the Shores of Gold, so she should have knowledge of these jewels, however she has reportedly become a Skeleton Lord. The Stranger believes that the Order of Souls Mystic, Madame Olivia, on Plunder Outpost should have the tools to track her down.

Madame Olivia tasks Crews with tracking the fate of Captain Briggsy's old Crew, as they may know of her personal belongings. If Player Crews can find her personal items and bring them back to Madame Olivia, she could perform a ritual that uncovers the location of the dreaded Skeleton Lord herself.
