Ardin – Day 4
We were planning to head to the island at first light, but after discussing it we were not sure if the villagers went to the island on a daily basis or not, so we decided to wait a few hours until the time they went on the previous day to see.
The time came and passed, and we figured we would be fine to take a look. Mindful still that we may be observed we tried to sail behind the dotted rocks hoping we’d stay hidden until we reached the island.
As we approached we could see a wooden dock where they would fasten their boats, we continued to sail around the island to the back, opting to beach the raft there out of sight then walk back around.
A path connected the wooden dock to an entrance to a cave within the rock, mindful of there perhaps being people inside we carefully entered.
A flight of steps descended down into a rectangular room flanked by wooden columns, at the end sat on a what looked like a throne made of stone was a large figure. We couldn’t make out if the figure was actually made of gold or if it was covered in gold-leaf or something of that nature, but covering its face was a curious white mask carved from some strange material.
We located a recess where we could potentially stand without being seen and set about Writing a Linking Book to the temple so we could return to study it more without having to rely on the boat.
We spent about an hour there, looking around, making sketches and mapping it out before we felt it would be best if we left.
