Here is an Isolated Beach. It has several Coral Naga led by a Coral
Naga Shaman inhabiting it. They also have a Sigil of Pain set up.
You can choose to scout ahead, allowing you to sneak up on the Coral
Naga. The potential drawback is that you likely have to get past the
Sigil of Pain to get close to them. Protecting yourself beforehand with
a Sigil of Pain Wardstone can
negate that.
A Chanter or Druid can identify the Sigil, as can any character who can
make a combined Arcana 10 and Religion 14 check. That offers you the
opportunity to destroy the Sigil outright, although that will alert the
Naga to your presence and begin combat immediately.
Here is an Abandoned Village, from which you can get the Boots
of the White and a few more random items.
Here is the Whenura Cleft. A
Survival check of 11 reveals no immediate threats to the party. A
History check of 13 reveals the rope spanning the Cleft to be of
Dyrwoodan make.
An Athletics check of 12, followed by another Athletics check of 14,
will safely get the party along the rope and to the other side of the
Cleft. There is a real danger of the party dying if you fail the checks.
You'll come across a tree on the other side of the Cleft, with dead
Aumaua bodies hung from the branches. A few of your Crew
Members will join you once you've reached the other side of the
Cleft. At least one of them will want to loot the bodies.
The dialogue option that earns Stoic and Shady disposition allows them
to loot the bodies, and results in a +5 Morale boost for the Crew.
Commanding them to depart post haste for the ship, which earns
Aggressive and Passionate disposition, results in a -5 loss of Morale.
The Benevolent option that obliges them to bury the bodies will not
raise or decrease Morale. However, it results in one of the Crew Members
giving you the Footprints of Ahu Taka.
Whatever decision you made about the Crew Members, you can use your
Watcher powers to learn what happened. Dyrwoodan raiders murdered the
Huana Druid, broke the staves of the Elders, and hung the villagers from
the tree.
If you did not previously oblige the Crew Members to bury the dead
bodies, you can now do so yourself or burn the bodies. Either action
will at this point lead to you finding the Footprints
of Ahu Taka yourself.
