Mission 45 ~ Rolling in the Deep
The shriveled old gypsy is sitting in the far corner of the Ratskellar, covered in layers of cloths and towels as she dries from her forced dip in to the ocean. Marina hangs over her old mentor quietly, watching her with worried eyes as she rubs her back. Even though she only knew her for a short time, she still feels an attachment to the woman.
You approach behind Valentina quietly, but it's evident she hears your group as her head turns over her shoulder. "I must thank you for that."
"It was our pleasure, Valentina." Marina ushers, sounding as though she repeated it for the thirtieth time.
"Well, I still must give them my thanks." Slowly the women begins to pull herself to her feet by holding on to Marina, but her knees buckle and she falls back down in a thud. She sighs as she rubs the pain in her back.
"Please, rest." Marina patterns over her.
"Yes, and while we do, we have a few questions for you." You tell her easily, kneeling down behind her.
"Anything, my child. Go ahead." Valentina nods, winded.
"What do you know... about the Headstone?"
Valentina freezes. She plants her hands firmly on the stone floor and begins to turn herself towards you, revealing a cold, bitter stare. She scowls intensely at each person in your group, and returns her vision to you. "No man deserves to know what I know.... GET OUT!" She screams at the top of her lungs, then turning her head to Marina. "Get them out NOW, Marina. NOW!"
Although often rebellious, Marina does as told and escorts you all to the door, talking under her breath as she does. "She doesn't want to budge, so investigate yourself." She stops you in the doorway, looking back to make sure she isn't looking. "Bev told me as you hunted for Valentina on the seas that there was some sort of journal that she had to throw in to the bay to keep the soldiers from taking at the fort.... I suggest you see if you can recover it."

Objective: Swim in the Bay of Padres to recover the journal.
