Thanks for the feedback!Funny enough, I was going to suggest using that male soldier that Ashley was friendly with in the prologue, but I thought he died in the shipwreck.
Also that shipwreck to the south of Gran Pine did not look like a shipwreck, at least to me. Probably change the sprites to an actual wrecked ship instead of a bunch of boards in the middle of the water. It didn't look like a shipwreck so I just ignored it and did not try to explore it.
I will see what I can do.
