The Seaskipper arrives at the Lighthouse and the party land with their supplies.
The Lighthouse is a 30-foot tall building. Its roof isn't intact but there is a nice walkway around the top. There is a staircase that goes up on the inside, it looks dirty, damaged, and kind of rickety. There's a trap door in the main downstairs area too. Near the to the main door to the lighthouse are three plaques. One plaque is written in old Caldonian, one plaque is written in a language that looks very similar to old-common. The third plaque is a Mosaic made of blue tiles for the ocean and bronze for the land, showing the location of nearby man-made locations.
The plaque says:
:This lighthouse was built as a joint venture between great kingdoms of Drekis and Caldonia after sinking of Salty Maiden.
:Waters around this peninsula are most treacherous in all of Caldonia, and far too many ships have been smashed on hidden rocks.
:Salty Maiden in her hundred and fifty souls be the last lost in these waters.
:Long live queen of Drekis. Long live King of Caldonia
Kel William is surprised there was no record of this back in Drekis, but was likely lost over the past 1500 years.
The party investigate the lighthouse basement and find a number of huge rats.
Grimes climbs to the top of the lighthouse. He finds a big mirror system that was used to enhance the light of the lighthouse.
