While your adventure sounds quite thrilling and harrowing indeed, it reads very much like you were woefully ill prepared to face Bonemass. Perhaps you were simply planning to use the swamp he was located in to gather the iron you need, and to find the turnip seeds and Draugr entrails to cook better foods... but that doesn't make sense to me either, because you would've had to learn the location of Bonemass from a stone found in the swamps. Those aspects are intriguing to me.

Well, I had already landed on a much, much closer Swamp awhile back and had Iron Mace, full Iron Scale armor, Carrot Soup/Turnip Stew/Sausages for food and stacks of poison/healing potions.

Like everything but a Longboat. lol

Guess I'll build a Longboat, put on my old Trollhide armor and bring better food for my SECOND ATTEMPT. Can you have more than one loot grave? Or does the old loot grave disappear if you die a second time (I'm probably going to quit the game if all my gear from the Sea Serpent death has gone poof).

The Longboat will certainly do better if you run into the serpent again!

Yeah, you can have more than one loot grave (mark the grave on your map as soon as you respawn in case you die again).

I like to grab at least 1 item if I do a "naked run" back to a spot where I died, because if I die on the way, I'll get another grave I can loot on my way to my original grave with all the good loot. If I have a bowl of carrot soup or something and die, then I return and loot the grave with the soup, then I'll have the corpse run buff to help me get to my grave with the best gear.

That won't help you with a grave in the water, but perhaps it'll help you later on! Have fun
