Leaving early in the morning you follow the map Captain Dunman gave you to the ruins, following the newly made roadway around Tilverton you manage to catch a glimpse of the Black Crater, the crater itself appears to be a circular depression a mile across, three roads can be seen leading up to the pit.
Even from a distance you can see that the pit appears to contain thick black fog, as you stare at the black fog within, you begin to get a sense of sinister movement, which sends a shiver down your spines.
Resuming your trek you follow the trail north around Tilverton until it meets up with the old Moonsea Ride, after travelling for 3 hours you spot the cairn you were told about, looking southwards as directed and see the remains of the ruins approx 5 miles southwest of your current direction.
Leaving the Moonsea ride means travelling across five miles of gully-ridden, rock-strewn, sun-baked, snake-infested wasteland.
OOC: I forgot to mention that before you left Lord Hawklin's manor you were given a piece of parchment which contains the Netherese alphabet, this is to let you confirm whether or not the ruins are Netherese in origin, also you were advised to keep the mounts you had requisitioned from Eveningstar, and you were each given leeway to buy standard supplies up to the value of 1000gp.
And finally the reward for this mission is 6000gp worth of gems each with a further 6000gp's each in three months time, also you were allowed to purchase items from the crown repository of magical items, so any and all expenditure should be completed before we progress any further.
