Curved wood.   Worked curved wood.   “What is it?” asks Xar standing next to it patting his weasel companion on the shoulders.“I don’t know.   It is clearly man made…. Manufactured.”“Why the ring?” asks Dorque.There is a large bronze and adamantine ring worked into the tip of the curved wood piece.  It seems very much out of place here.Looking about, they find a few more pieces of wood leading towards the center of the island.   Looking they spot a trail leading nearby to the point they wishes to look at.    “Oh.”From this point, one can clearly see The Azure Dragon, the reef and ship wrecks- even the submerged ones.   Xar spots something more ominous.   A footprint.It is of a medium sized creature with three toes and the toes are clawed.  Someone or something has been watching the activities of the ship.   Most likely their own activities.“Two days ago, they said they were being watched.” Begins Xar.“…FELT like they were being watched.   This is closest thing to any proof we are not alone.” Adds Tabask.“Not Alone.” Follows the warforged as he begins to swivel and watch the brush more intently.“Hienes is coming back.”“Can we follow the tracks?” asks the cleric.Looking around a bit the kobold nods and gives a strong “Yes”.“I think so- especially if your companion helps.   We both can track and he can sniff what ever we miss.” Adds Tabask as he begins up the trail.“…but Hienes….” Begins the kobold looking out to the water.“Will know when to return to the ship.   We will get back tomorrow.”“Ah.” Answers the kobold looking to the trail.</blockquote>
