incident report #45b-768
Objective: Determine the whereabouts of the Kynrael expedition to ademonis
First of all, I wish to ask who I offended to get sent after this missing expedition. Honestly, how am I supposed to rise up in the ranks when I am being forced to check upon an ill fated expedition?
Getting to buisness, I explored the site immeadeate to my landing area, finding little more than an improperly harvested tree
A few feet away stood another tree, also improperly harvested. Judging from the hole where the roots were, I am forced to come to the conclusion that they were using dynamite to cut down these trees, which you will recall is in violation of prinicpal seven of our charter "no unnecessary destruction of natural terrain"
nearby was a marker, no doubt intended to guide the supply caravans that were supposed to show up, but apparently never did. It led to a small collection of structures, 2 wood, and one brick
In between the two structures on the right, I have discovered another crater. judging from the gunpowder and other artifacts scattered near the site, the expedition was lost to either a Sneakitus Basterdus (creeper for the commoners), or a poorly conducted wood harvesting
the brick building stands uncompleted. The expedition was probably ambushed by the Basterdicus while travelling to the small shack that served as his sleeping quarters
The chest within the house contained little of note, save for a few pearls of a make I have never seen before.
The remaining shack is constructed a ways away from the "settlement" and is located on a ravine that clearly attracted the expedition's interest
Within the shack is a hatch and a ladder, leading down to the platform seen above
the chest contained nothing of note, some cobble and sticks, nothing more. The crevasse itself contains little of interest, though I am perplexed y this hallway. the windows are crenellated, as if to provide cover from ranged attacks, but look only upon the opposite side of the cavern. my personal belief is that they were constructed by accident, the miner simply digging to the side to ensure he did not dig too far into the dirt.
There is very little else of note here. The aformentioned pearls, a large number of craters near the trees, but nothing else
