None of her servants are yet awake. Her feet are bare and she is only draped in a robe. She kneels on both knees and begins a her meditation ritual. Within a few minutes a frigate bird circles high over her head. It circles three times then heads deliberately in a northward direction. Oshanti’s eyes are closed, as if she has shut out the rest of the world.Linstahl does not pace the floor as he usually would, especially with Laurel away tending to her own affairs. She had left her brother in the care of two hand maidens and spiked his tranquility tea with alcohol. He would be no good for public, today, but that was of very little consequence.Despite the noisiness of the breeding birds during the day, the replacement sounds of those by the nocturnal denizens of the misty isle are much quieter. The heightened wariness of their unfamiliar environment proves unnecessary as the night is peaceable and everyone gets some rest. Due to the mist obscuring the day break, everyone sleeps longer than they naturally would. Having pondered the emptiness of the village and the strange visage throughout sleep, nothing more definitive can be concluded by anyone. It truly seems that the figure was something that had occurred long ago and the party was able to see it as someone else’s memory. There is absolutely no evidence of what befell the villagers, but they were evidently closer to three strides in height rather than two, as people are now. Forest, who is rather religious compared to the others, believes some act of the gods caused the disappearance.The structures to the left of the entry point fare about the same as those on the right, though several look to have been used for commercial enterprise rather than residence. There is also another bridge over the sharp ridge on that side, as well, but nothing of particular interest. Crossing the river is a different matter. There are two main structures. The one on the left is closer to the river and still structurally sound, being built as well as the strange gate and bridges. The most amazing aspect of the carpentry is the size of the timber and how precisely the pieces are fitted.Three tall steps lead to a wide porch with an opening in the center leading into the main structure. There is a statue on each side of this opening of a haggard man seated cross-legged with his head bowed, holding a bowl above his lap. There are still coins in each of these bowls. They are metal and stamped with an unfamiliar design.[spoiler=Character Data]Coldtree: full wellnesstunic: 59Astarte: full wellnessKite: full wellnesstunic: 60 - 3 = 57Gretda: full wellnessForest: full wellnesshalurin arrows: 10stone arrows: 10Terrendale: full wellness [/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]daystone: 1: {Compulsion, Enthrall} [/spoiler][spoiler=People of Interest]Linstahl: Leader, Lighted Sentinel: Laurel, twin sisterOshanti: Leader, The Zoo.
