Sinking deep down into the depths of the temple, passing old statues and carvings on the way, Jaskier, Zuke, Kazuki and Greg will eventually start hearing a strange song. Of course, one can debate whether or not it is sensible to follow a strange song into the unknown depth of a previously lost temple. In fact, there are probably a lot of cons to this whole plan and very few pros.
And yet.
If they choose to follow the sound, they will eventually come to a low chamber where a trio of pokemon is singing. This, in itself, is not unusual. There are many pokemon known for their song. But in this case, it's not a trio of Lapras or Primarina they will encounter; instead, sitting on a slab of stone is a trio of Cursola, their voices joining together in a haunting melody that stops immediately when they spot the foursome.
Eventually, if properly won over, the three Cursola will move and reveal that they were sitting on
Treasures: Once they have properly ingratiated themselves to the Cursola
Zuke will receive a bracelet from one of the three Cursola. Unlike some of the objects found in this temple, it's not made of precious metals of gems; instead, the bracelet has been fashioned out of bone-white pieces of coral -- most likely the Cursola's own coral branches, in fact -- with roughly shaped beads of blue coral set in between the white pieces. The bracelet is long enough that one can wrap it around their wrist several times. A gift of respect from one musician to another.
In addition, Kazuki will receive a small, old harp from the second of the three Cursola. It is styled like a Cythara anglica, and it is clear that it has been underwater for a long time. The body, at least, is made of ivory or bone, so that has survived the passage of time, but the strings are in a sorry shape. Whether it will ever be playable again depends on whether Kazuki can find a skilled enough luthier to fix it. But if not, cool conversation piece?
In addition, Greg will receive a small statue from the third Cursola. From the barnacles on the statue and general state of the stone, it is clear it has been underwater for a long time, though it doesn't necessarily look like it was part of this temple. Perhaps it was found at sea by the Cursola a long time ago and brought into this place. In any case, the statue depicts a man and a woman. The man is playing a flute while the woman dances. Despite being made of stone, there is something very airy about the statue.
Meanwhile Jaskier will... uh. There are only three Cursola and three gifts. But after confering a bit among themselves, the Cursola will eventually present Jaskier with a Shell Bell. Humans like those, right?
