We head west to V23. Quiet. We head west again. To V13. Quiet. There are reefs to the west and an island to the south tentatively identified as Skeleton Key. We go south, quiet. V12. More reefs to the west. We disembark to E8.
We do not encounter any hostility upon our arrival. We move to explore the key – E23. 2 rations from the fruit here as well. There are thousands of bones littering the ground near the center of the key. This is the site of a major battle more than a hundred years ago, as the remnants of the Taurians that fled from the destruction of their homeland in Hithtris settled here, and were attacked in one great assault.
+2 rations
As they search the battlefield, they find the ruins of the old fort that was once here. They uncover a large plug in the ground and lift it up, and the darkness stretches below them for a long time. Alzar drops a torch and it falls more than 150 feet. There appears to be some sort of tunnel down there. They tie three ropes together and descend, Alzar first.
