The party landed and made their way across a promontory which projected on the southeast shore of the island, where the aura of evil did not seem so strong. Before they had progressed far towards the stockade they heard a clattering, and saw a group of hideous skeletons marching towards them through the fog that enshrouded everything. Lucius despatched tham with a blast of fire, but they were immediately attacked again, this time by the huge gnarled and rotting oaks which marched towards them on their centuries old roots, churning up the mud as they came...

It was a close fight but Lucius suceeded in toppling them all, and for minutes the sky was filled with fire as he sent out arcs of fiery ribbons and hurled pilums of fire, and summoned winds to drive back the encircling fog. The trees exploded in to burning fragments as they were despatched, but eventually the party won a brief respite and stopped to rest.

Lucius once more used his fire magics to burn down a section of the stockade, and the party cautiously entered the compound. Ahead they saw three piles of rocks which they realised were the remains of collapsed towers, and to their right stood a long low building that may have once been guest quarters.
