The island towers over your small group, a majestic domineering hulk of stone and wildlife. As you near the beach, a rocky peninsula to your right obscures the view of the islands beyond. The main island is shrouded in mist and clouds, and even before you reach the shore the cacophony of wildlife can be easily heard.
There aren't many sandy portions on this side of the island, but there are a few, one of which is the one you dock at. This portion of the island seems to slope up very quickly, but at least it's not sheer cliff.
The jungle begins only feet from where the beach emerges from the ocean, the shade of it's leaves almost seeming to beckon you...
