Hardigan McCrane - Strange Discovery

I saw the coast for the first time today. It was from a high vantage point, but nonetheless, was crystal clear. My wagon has fared much better than I thought it would on the repaired axle. Fortunately, there have been no further delays.

    I have taken up hunting in the evening with Adian and Tursik before I settle into camp for the night. Already I've brought in some very high quality pelts. The same game I trap around the village, but bigger with much healthier fur. The hounds seemed somewhat taken aback by how much of a fight a single deer puts up here. They did manage to finally bring it down though, and it should be enough to feed us for the rest of the week.

    I have seen signs of gnolls, but haven't come across any as of yet. Hopefully my luck will continue.

    The trapping continues to go well. I am steadily filling my wagon. Today though, the furs were only of minor importance. While checking a few traps near a ledge overlooking the shore, I saw a large group of gnolls wading into the sea.

    My knowledge of the beasts is limited, I'll admit, but I did not think them to be very fond of the water, especially water as cold as this. There were perhaps two dozen of them in total, and it took me several moments to realize why they were there.

    I could not make out exactly what it was, but there appeared to be some kind of wreck gradually washing ashore. Large pieces of what I am assuming was a boat floated a short distance offshore. The gnolls were scavenging the wreck, though from the looks of it there was not much left to be had. I'd like to investigate further, but will wait until the gnolls have lost interest before I get much closer.
