As the intrepid adventurers go ashore for provisions, they are likely to encounter:
Crabman Tunnels: massive tunnels in the sand made by humanoid crustaceans, these winding passages lead further and further away from the tideline. Granted, when the tide comes rolling in, you’ll be hoping for a a back door.
Sulphur Mines: (see
Kawah Ijen by night - The Big Picture - Boston.com ) In the heart of a volcano, the party finds an elemental being of eldritch fire.
Mangrove Swamp: (see
Mangrove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) The party will have to abandon the safety of their ship and board weathered canoes, to make their way through the twisted passages leading towards a forgotten city.
Crabs!: (watch
Fooled by Nature: Christmas Island Crab Migration : Video : Animal Planet ) The migration of red crabs across Christmas Island is a sight to behold.
Land-Locked Lake: (watch [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXV1D13f0Ko]YouTube - Jellyfish Lake[/ame] ) Filled with jellyfish that seem menacing yet are completely harmless, the lake holds treasure which is plainly seen in the depths below.
Empty Graveyard: A staple of island adventures, a long-forgotten graveyard is marked by overgrown tombstones and shallow empty graves. Perhaps a Deathmaster lives in the cave atop the mountain, or perhaps a gathering of zombies comes shambling out of the sea at high tide.
Nature Reclaims the Temple: ( see
Cambodia Photos - National Geographic ) I’ve always liked that photo! The movie “The Ruins” might have been devoid of value, but the premise is worth exploring.
