[QUOTE="AxeM, post: 5414938, member: 6666678"] [b]Scene 1: To the Crab Cave![/b] "Go get zee crab eggs!" Zitteaux shouts once more before shooing you all out. [GM]Heading out to the cave on the map is a reasonably easy task. Along the way you all have ample opportunity to catch everybody up to speed and to get to know each other a little bit better. [/GM] As you travel the walls of the city quickly give way to the lapping of water and sandy beaches. After about 3 hours of walking you find yourselves looking at a sandbar in front of the cave you're looking for. Tide seems quite low at the moment but it may not stay that way for long. The cave is dim light other then what you provide and is full of tidal pools.
