The Beach
The group sets off down the beach headed eastward away from the setting sun. As they walk along the beach numersou chest and floatsom can be seen along the beach. Perhaps twenty minutes into their stroll a blurr come slying down the beach followed by a trio of figures who appear to be carrying spears. The form makes striaght for Bertrand and knocks him on the ground where the animal now obvious a large ugly dog stands over the prone figure and begins to lick Bertrands face. A glance at the scene makes the party chuckle as the long canine tounge has now left large wet spots on Bertrands face and drool on his collar.
Being almost halfway to the smoke when they are intercepted, the party now observes that a lage rock outcrop has formed a horsehoe shaped inlet some 100 feet (east/west) and 50 feet (north/south) and rising some 40 feet above the beach. The smoke is now seen to be a large bonfire set atop the outcrop. More importantly the party now sees in the fading daylight the remanits of a ship perhaps 100 yards offshore from the outcropping foundered on a great reef.
The comment is overheard from one of the men "I told you that ugly dog was on to something,,,see what he found" as he points at Bertrand.
For Vadric
[sblock]It would either take the direct hand of another deitiy, a very formal and complicated arance ritual by a cabal, a human sacarafice in connection with demonic rights or a very very very rare fluke of nature.[/sblock]

Bertrand
"Easy Chaucer, I already got a bath in the shipwreck." He pats the dog with great affection and then wrestles his way out from under it and back to his feet. Looking at the three men he asks, "what have you brought me?"
OOC: [sblock]Bertrand takes a moment to examine the breakers, is the tide going in or out?[/sblock]

Finnian watches the reunion of man and best with amusement then turns towards the surf to study the now visible shipwreck. He keeps an ear to the shore while he tries to judge just how difficult it would be to reach the ship.

Anniston smiles at the men and waits for their response to Betrand's greeting. Does Anniston recognize any of them? Does it appear that there are more survivors down the beach?

The Beach
The three men in further on down the beach all are familar to the group as they are part of Bertrand's group of retainers. In response to Bertrand's question one of the men speaks up. "Rendee is out scouting with one of the ship's marines. We have the wounded on the inner ledge, he gesutres to the horshoe shaped outcrop and I can offer you fire for warmth and some provisions we found as well as fresh water"
Looking at the wreck offshore, a heavy surf can be seen coming in reaching to the very lip of the outcropping. The ship at one's best guess is some 100 yards away from the shore grounded fast bewteen two largish rocks. The bow of the ship is sticks out some 15 feet from the rocky grave while the stern appears to be underwater. The quarterdeck however is visiablly above water. In the heavy surf it would be difficult to reach the ship and the party can not discern how deep the water may be or the prescence of any riptides/currents.
