Following the leading woman (Mirriana and Elkist striding in their armour) through the gusting wind and swirling rain Zarina soars some 15ft above their heads, the wind singing in an choirlike fashion as its strikes her or Elkist's blades that once belonged to the Wind Dukes. Behind the woman Merrick follows and Lan ranges slightly out to the flank hidden from view with his stealth skills. Its a 6 minute stride down to the ruins where you slip and slide down the cliff path onto the small bay that has the wrecks and the broken walled ruins. Ax you get closer approaching from the NW the black basalt walls rise high above you, a mixture of broken walls and ancient standing stones with markings long since washed off or removed. From down the near the beach you can hear the clunk of working tools and the guttural shouts of orc echoing from the beach to the south and you expect that some of the crew have remained behind to fix the ship.

Plunging into the maze the ground is soft and mossy between the blacks walls and everything glints in the wek sunlight in the storm's eye from a thin covering of salt although there are still plenty of plants and the walls are covered with thick nets of ivy. As you enter the maze you quickly reach a of crossoards of sort (on the NW side), to the north the walls open up into a plaza of sorts, broken columns and smashed tiles with grass and weeds jutting between them suggest it has been ruined for many centuries but in the centre of the plaza what once may have been a collection of four impressive statues of marble and basalt have been reduced to piles of shattered rubble and fragments of the statues lie scattered around the area. However Lan and Merrick's sharp eyes can see a flickering blue glow underneath one of the statues and from near the partially broken archway into the plaza Lan can see fresh-ish blood streaked on the doore frame.

To the south another plaza beckons, this one complicated by numerous stone stalagmites scattered around the broken tiles. These rocky growths are covered with strange slash like glyphs made of vertical and horzontal slashes but seem to have no other purpose. However from the base of the largest stalagmite some 40ft tall and 20ft across a tangle green glowing cystals appears to be "growing"...

So investigating north or south plaza or pushing towards the beach or deeper into the maze?
