Applying the Fishhook to a water square (pool or moat) turns the square into dry land (as if it had been filled with a boulder).

The quest leader is Jacques Cousteau. Quest levels consist of large expanses of water dotted with islands.

In addition, they can reach Basic in dagger and short sword, and Skilled in spear and javelin. They can also get to Basic level in divination and escape spells, and Skilled in bare handed combat.
