[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 1734340, member: 162"] [b]Arrival at the Lost Isle[/b] The ship sails through the lower clouds, though the dwarf manages to keep the ship out of most of them. The air up here is chilly, and somewhat thin; breathing is slightly more difficult than normal. Thranos and Grakyl, however, seem used to such conditions, and don't seem adversely affected. Eventually, shortly after the sun sets and the two moons rise, you can see the Lost Isle: it glistens in the moonlight, and it appears to be covered in either ice or glass. Regardless of what covers it, it looks very forboding - the northern shore appears to be more of a low cliff than a shore, all sharp points and edges. Strangely enough, you notice signs of civilization: what looks like a roughly-hewn wooden dock extends a small distance into the water, and there are what look like wooden buildings in a small flat region not far from the dock. "We'll lan' there." Thranos says, pointing to the buildings. Pulling the wheel back and tilting it towards himself, the ship slows and takes a sudden, steep plunge for the buildings below, causing the wind to rush by much faster than before. Grakyl yells something high-pitched in a language you don't understand, but Thranos nods, and tilts the wheel away; the ship's descent becomes more controlled, and then slowly rights itself, though it is now a small distance away from the concentration of buildings. The roar of the engine dulls, and the ship sets down slowly into the ice-covered snow of the Lost Isle. The ship shakes slightly as it finally settles into the ground, and then all is quiet. The ship has landed in a small field, roughly one-hundred feet from the closest - and largest - of the buildings, of which there are four or five. The cold here is biting, much more chill than the air above. There is no wind to speak of, but the drifts scattered throughout the field that this is not always the case. "Quite a landin', eh?" Thranos says, and laughs. [/QUOTE]
