The seawater laps against the edge and it appears as if it might be underwater during high tides. The cave isn't readily visible until one is right upon it; at least the early part appears to be waist high, but it goes much further in than the light carries.Meanwhile, Keith, Paendaerig and Sildarin (carrying Slith), follow the gigantic tracks. The massive footprints going westward seem the most fresh, and the trio have little trouble staying alongside the path, moving stealthily along. The ground slopes upward and begins to get hilly rather quickly, with the trail meandering between the bases of the hills.After turning a corner all three of the scouts stop quickly. The smoke from a woodfire can be smelled, along with cooking meat, all steaming out of an immense cave mouth. While none of the scouts have seen a hill giant before, the creature standing guard is almost certainly one. Hairy, tall and thickly muscled, it carries a wooden club taller than any two students of Drell combined. It seems to be some sort of sentry.</blockquote>
