[QUOTE="Ringmaster, post: 853854, member: 10983"] --- Don't forget the ever-wondrous sunken ruins. Tying in to Hand of Evil's post - it could be deep below the sargassum and the ship graveyard. The raft islanders (from Hand of Evil's second post) are barely surviving. Some think that the city is the key to escaping their miserable subsistence. Others think that the city sunk for a reason and should remain that way. And the PCs arrive... --- Leaping fish sometimes hit the sails of ships and flop onto the deck. They become dinner.
