All Ashore That's Going Ashore

It was a dark and stormy night...

The party has survived the shipwreck and the first encounter with the local fauna, but they are on the opposite side of the Isle of Dread and must make the long overland trek to Farshore. After two days of gathering supplies, the party head south on an animal trail. The hope is to find a pass in the mountains to the south.

Following an animal trail, Nesta guides the party through the jungle. The party encounters a young Diplodocus being chased by three large prehistoric carnivorous birds (terror birds). The terror birds try to chew on a few party members, but were unsuccessful. Dead, in fact. The Diplodocus flees as the party finishes off the last terror bird.

Further south, the party emerges from the jungle into the ruins of an ancient city. During the exploration of the ruins the party meets Lithira, the queen of the ruined Olman city. She had trouble communicating with the party at first. She asked questions about places far away from the Isle of Dread. She told a bit of history about the area, and suggested the "dark mountain pass that travels under the peaks". She also warned that unnatural things lurk in the dark places. "I know that four eyes have gaed upon you and their servant seeks you out. You would do well to avoid him." And with that, the dusty old lady wandered off and dissappeared.

Continuing the trek south, the party stumbles upon a group of nesting terror birds. Rudolpho rages and makes the charge. Vin takes a deep breath and leaps from the small cliff yelling "Bonzai", but lands on his face. The terror birds pick up their attack, and swarm Ruddy and Vin. A pair of terror birds climb the cliff and attack the other party members, keeping the group scattered. The combat was brutal, only made worse by Ortho's admission that he had forgotten one of his memorized spells. Lighting bolt. After the party recovered from the terror bird combat, everyone pummeled Ortho.

The party arrives at the entrance to the pass and explores the entrance. A fragment of a skeleton is pinned to a stone throne by a spear. A couple of baubles were discovered in a pool. What horrible dark dangers lie ahead?
