A few days later, after being healed and rested, they go back and find volcanic island mentioned by the natives. The ship moors off the east coast, and Alzar, Aleigha, and Estaish take one of the boats to the shore. The island is maybe 10 miles across and roundish, with jagged shores, and a bay to the north west. They rise up on a jagged hill and can see the other side and beyond there, is a compound, with a ship in the bay, and several houses and buildings, all behind a wall. At the back of that wall are the ruins of an old temple, older that the rest – which looks like new construction. It looks like they got lazy, because they ended the wall at the temple, and then started it again on the other side.
There are no lookouts landside. Alzar sends a note to the captain through a teleport jar, telling him o move the ship back and out of the way, and to come back when asked for. He moves behind another island, about ten miles east of this one.
Alzar and company begin to look around, and someone can make out an unusual indentation in the rear of the temple. They work it, and after five minutes, reveals a secret door hidden under years of use and abuse. They open it up, and move into the corridor. (Alzar has memorized two Sleeps rather than Animate Dead Animals for this adventure, since they know their foes to likely be humanoid)
