[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1976345, member: 9255"] EBERRON 01/15/05 SEGMENT 036 THE ISLAND OF STARVOS As they got closer, they can see buildings and a small smoldering fire in the forest. They decide to land nearby on a black beach. The entire island is made of volcanic rock. As such, the sand and rocks are black. Mixed in with the night’s events and the general feel of the place, everyone is convinced it is a place of evil. Still- it’s dry. They reach the shore and pull the rafts onto the rocks. There still has been no sign of the crew. (6 members) After hiding the rafts, they begin to walk towards the buildings. They are on a horseshoe shaped bay area. The settlement is within the shoe. The water is churned up and dark with the black sand in it. Bits of ship, plants and debris wash up on shore and against the sharp black rock. They notice the buildings have a pier and it was heavily damaged by the storm. A large building is connected to it. It also is heavily damaged. The roofs are missing from several other buildings. They storm struck here also. As the 11 of them reach the limits of the settlement three armed men and a large dog walk out of the forest. “Halt.” They do so. “Who are you?” the leader demands. “castaways” jokes Cedious whom gets an elbow. “Our ship was destroyed on a reef last night during the storm. We were looking for shelter and directions.” Says Bemnol as diplomatically as he can. The leader looks over them carefully. “This is the Island of Starvos. We are the only settlement here and as you can see, we too are recovering from the hurricane.” Bomnel notes the ring on the man’s hand. House Tharashk. The Finder’s Guild. “We won’t take up much room and would appreciate the company.” Offers Boddynoc. “Don’t need it. Next ship won’t come for a week. Maybe two with this damned storm. We have enough issues to deal with.” “Issues?” asks Boddynoc looking at the warehouse and wondering what they would be storing within. “The spirits of the Forest have become angry and wish us to leave. You would do well to leave us and avoid the Forest.” The village leader suggests as he pats the head of his dog. Cedious can’t help himself, “What do you have within the building? What do you do here?” The ½ giant spots metal rails leading from the pier into the woods. “Mining?” I assume the ship coming will be from House Tharashk?” A light switch goes off in Boddynoc’s head. Crystals….? “We need shelter, you need aid with the angry spirits.. can we work something out?” offers Boddynoc. “What has happened?” asks Bemnol. The leader sighs. He knew he couldn’t hide the camp’s secret for long. Not with so many people and two gnomes and a halflings among them. “Very well, follow me.” Shortly within the remains of an open hall, they sit down. The barbarians have wondered off. They do not return. “It began about three weeks ago. Several miners did not return from their shift. We searched for them but could not find them. Four good men.” He hesitates as if to gather his energy before restarting. Then the priest of Olladra (Feast and Good Fortune) disappeared from his home near here. Concerned something was in the woods attacking our men, we sent a hunting party to the mine. They did not return.” Bomnel is listening but unsure if this concerns Zilargo or him. Boddynoc is waiting for confirmation of Dragon Shards. Belair is daydreaming. He wonders how much blame he will receive for the lost of the ship. “Since then, strange sounds have issued from the forest. There have been sightings of animals acting oddly. We were wondering whether to send a second party when the storm came. We lost several people in the storm.” Figuring it is possibly a druid that is angry that the Finders Guild is “raping” the land, Boddynoc figures they can handle it. “If you would like, we can look into it.” The warforged look up from their state of boredom. Something to do and possibly battle. “In return, we can have shelter until the ship comes and get a ride to the mainland.” “Shelter I can promise, being what it currently is but I can not promise a ship ride. I can put in a good word for you however.” He says with a happier look on his face. “Done.” Bomnel looks at him wondering what he is up to. [/QUOTE]
