IN ORDER OF OCCURRENCE IN THE STORY:
Milkmire rushes to the corpse. He has no feeling whatsoever for what kind of corpse this is, zombie, human brought back to life, etc. He looks at it hesitantly.
Milkmire, to Corpse: Hello. Um. Excuse me, fine sir. But...have you seen any documents lying around?
DM: Milkmire has screamed out "the ship is alive!" intermittently, while also asking if anyone has seen any documents lying about.
Albert looks over to Milkmire and sees Oliver approaching from the shoreline, lumbering away with his arm draped over a plank for support. Albert looks to Bixby, who is still tired, but seems to be recovering a bit.
A FLASH.
Ability Triggered.
One Albert has seen before. One he knows all too well. A death is imminent. But who?
A strange sensation overwhelms him, causing him to scream at a name...
"BIXBY! MOVE!"
Albert's ability has now concluded.
A sound. A most horrifying screech, and the ship planks begin to shift. planks tumble toward the ship and sink into the ocean. The ship begins to move, the crow's nest resets and rises into the air, it glows a vicious green. The bow reassembles and the boom rises from the waters, with planks re-attaching like magnets.
Bixby uses as much energy as he can to roll away from the reanimated corpse in time to avoid a plank stabbing directly where he was laying. Albert had saved his life.
Everyone turns to watch in horror as the ship's ropes link together with the broken planks, and muscle tissue streams down the planks. It reaches far toward the land, and the re-animated corpse begins to shake violently. The planks, muscle tissue and rope raise it straight into the air, and more planks and rope attach to the corpse arms. It howls like a banshee, and begins to smack the ground around it with its plank arms - nails exposed in the wood for added impact and damage.
The beach is under full attack. The ship has come back to life thanks to the draining efforts of Bixby.

*Albert wakes up screaming. He has no idea where he is, and he's frightened by the people surrounding him. He kicks and yells at anyone who gets near him.
Milkmire: ...Holy fuck.
