Some of these could do with notes to translators

I suggest adding this line above the message:

Abhai can't trigger this event, because the player only finds him once they've reached the other side of this lake.

If you have a unit with high enough mp you can move straight to Abhai's home and avoid the event. Then when you move Abhai he can trigger it. I did this unintentionally on my first playthrough of this mission.

Hmm - another option would be to use an [event]name=enter_hex or [event]name=exit_hex with [cancel_action] to make the unit stop when they enter the water. That would have the advantage of showing the tentacles first, instead of letting the unit get stuck in the village with the tentacles attacking them - although with Abhai around I guess the tentacles aren't a threat.

There's a meaning here that's lost in Abhai and Krash's lines - that the corpses are drifting down from Malifor's throneroom.

Makes sense. I'll update them. I thought the bodies were because of the nearby nagas, since I figured Malifor would have used the bodies for undead.
