Nonviolent Encounter with the Ghost of a Pirate Captain

Hey everyone, in my campaign the party has been travelling on a Ghost Ship that "rescued" them from a Slaad invasion. They ended up on an island with an ancient cursed city. They saved a Marid there and learned the origins of the ghost ship and its captain. They also learned that the captain knows where several campaign crucial artifacts are.

The ghost captain has been sort of mindless up to this point, and the goal of the party is to "bring her back". I want them to return to the ship to find it in disarray. The living crewmembers that they left aboard are comatose and oozing in ectoplasm.

My question is, does anyone have any recommendations of how to run an encounter with this ghost captain (and mayber her ghost crew) that does not involve combat? I want there to be a challenge for them to overcome, but not necessarily be in danger of bodily harm. Any ideas are welcome.

THE END OF HEROES - try out new character classes in the D&D 5e 2014 homebrew campaign! This FANTASY HORROR adventure is a character focused romp with plenty of room to customize your characters exactly as you want! (PAID - $20) - TUESDAYS

The city of Iriesall is besieged by war, rebellion and now one of its most revered heroes has seemingly fallen to darkness. Who will fill the void?

Quinton Veilar, retired member of Emberwatch, Slayer of Ancient Dragons, spends his old age telling stories in a tavern. After he and his companions have saved the City of Iriesall, it seems that the people are determined to destroy it themselves. Between the war with the underdark, a terrorist insurgency in the undercity, and the oppressive reign of Queen Beirona and the Orders of Sybril, there is little peace to be had. But there was peace in drink, and sharing stories with friends at the tavern.

Through his adventures, Quinton has made enemies, acquired dangerous magical artifacts, and kept many secrets... all of which are about to unravel.

Join the adventure, as a former pupil of this retired hero as he trusts you to protect all he holds dear. Travel to stunning locals, meet legends of old, and maybe.. just maybe.. save the world along the way.

You will create a level 3 character, 1 common magical item, 1 uncommon magical item who was a former apprentie of Quinton Veilar or a similar relation.

Players will have all of the 2014 wizard's of the coast official content to choose from. I am familiar with quite a bit of 3rd party material and using those options can be discussed during our session zero or on our discord server.

There are a number of my personal homebrew classes that will be available as well, such as

Occultist, Wrestler, Gunslinger, Mage, Witch, Daredevil, Alchemist, Dancer, Wyrd Blade
