Sentinel island

Timestamp: Sentinel Island - Daybreak

Night has passed, only a small number of the crew remain on deck while others awake from their rest. The seas are calm and kind, but as 'The Hogue' sails through open waters, it approaches a mighty wall of fog hanging over the water at the rocky shoreline of Sentinel Island.

The sailors do their best to keep their distance to avoid being swept onto the jagged rocks of nearby corals that litter the surrounding waters.

Your vessel drops anchor as you strain to see more of your destination. Following the island's coastal cliffs you spot a three-mast ship’s broken ruins, split in half against a stone shelf that loudly groans with each passing wave.
No one aboard recognises the design of the vessel and you all wonder if this means that Arcadia is home to a sea faring realm.

The first sight of the forgotten vessel are its torn sails. The outer hull has ominous damage fire marks, and none of the other sailors risks a guess on how long the vessel has been there. North of your position you spot a small sanded cove where a landing party can easily make landfall, an unusual break into the island rocky and jagged shoreline.

Beyond the beach all you can spot is a thick tree line of an ancient forest or jungle. The thick fog covers the rest of the island so far.

"Last chance to call it quits." Till shouts with a grin as he lowers a long row boat into the water...
