Just when you thought it was all over..

Yesterday the district governor was presented with a report regarding the ship wreck and cargo. Most notable mentions by the Magistrato was that a young women rescued from the ship disappeared soon after arriving on the island and that a third of the washed up cargo remains missing from the ship.

That very night the local tavern keeper took the liberty to account the Magistratos findings to his inebriated patrons. Upon hearing the report one drunken sailor in the tavern reported that while walking over from the beach to the tavern he witnessed a suspiciously cloaked figure walking the street next to the coffee house. After trailing the figure to the local smithy the figure was seen in a heated discussion with the resident smith. When he thought they might come to blows the cloaked figure instead took a piece of paper, tore it up and threw it in the fire.

After relating this strange tale the other patrons immediately all laughed at the poor drunken sailor saying he was clearly too drunk that night and was led away by his drinking companions. However, some more sober patrons did make a note to themselves to go visit the islands Smithy next morning just to see if something could be up after all one third of the ship-wrecked ship remains missing..

Inspired by the recent events at Rocca Sorrentina this is a self-contained little spin-off. The above story contains the first clue for the starting point. Hope everyone enjoys it!

Fabulous, thank you for the added fun )

Yay...who needs sleep when there is may be 'loot' to unearth...

My pleasure! This was the first hud I created so I am very proud it actually works and get to share it too :D

exactly right! furthermore it's a supposedly 'boozy' loot to unearth too....;)

OOOO this is so exciting. Great idea!

As to the loot Hester has hidden -- she has NO intention of sharing. Hester is like that.

Lorsagne wishes she had been a fly on the wall at the smithy's...and why was a cloaked figure vising him? What need of his services did he have? A lock that needed to be "picked?" Or . .

oooo-- Claire, this is sooo good. You even managed to send me someplace on Rocca I have never found before. I have pics but won't share until the game is over. This mystery rreally bugs me.

Bugs? On our fair island? Doubtless they came ashore with the missing crew. I must discover if the smith's workshop includes a furnace...so many things can be melted down, recast, etc.

Lady Leena hiccups and takes another sip whispering, "I found it, cheers!"

Glad you enjoyed the hike! When I was setting up the hunt I was aiming to use parts of Rocca that don't get visited very often.

According to the sailor's account the cloaked figure tore up the letter and left. This indicates that what ever he wanted the Smith clearly didn't agree and refused to accept it. The smith is said to be a honest fellow and a good friend of the professore.

I believe there may also be 3 barrels of tobacco somewhere.....the clue is:

They are hidden somewhere a Gentleman would never look.....
