After a turbulent night of storms, the party has abruptly arrived on an unfamiliar beach. The ship has been beached and Captain Lucy is furious that the trio has become a sign of bad luck for the crew. She demands they head into the jungle to find clean water and scout the area while the crew tends to the wounded and she tries to determine where they are. Trix heads to the trees with Elaith and Rou walking below them. They quickly come upon a stream and, after having their fill of the cool water, they fill the waterskins and sacks that had been provided to them.

They return to find Lucy and Sam poring over maps and it doesn’t take them long to realize the pair have no idea where the ship has landed. After distributing the water, the party heads back out to begin scouting as they’d been instructed. While exploring, Trix notices a flash of light in the distance and the group follows it to find the trees giving way to reveal overgrown ruins below. This ruined settlement sits on the shoreline with a neglected dock, and beyond the ruins they spy a mountain where the glinting light seems to shine from a large, domed structure. It isn’t until they head into the ruins that they find they’re not alone.
