The cave goes northwest towards the hills. As they walk through, the group feels the icy sea breeze and the sound of waves coming from the beach. The wind whistles through the stalactites and seem to seek a space wide enough to reproduce the echo.
The cave forms a kind of tunnel, about nine feet high and wide. After a fifteen minutes walking, the cave becomes slightly wider. The group hears the sound of flowing waters in the distance. It is the sound of a small waterfall or fountain.

The rhythm of the flowing water is gently accompanied by a flute music. The notes come from the same direction, and pass between the rocks like a harmonious fluid, using the stone walls as a resonance box. The music is suave, but discordant at the same. Despite being a melody not resembling anything already known, the mind seem to understand its language, finding the melody enjoyable and relaxing.

Having walked perhaps a mile, do we have a sense of our depth? What we are beneath?
"Amazing! How could all this be here without the town taking notice?"

Where is that music coming from? Does everyone hear that? That's very odd

"Yes, Mr. Edmond, very strange indeed. There must be a higher area that is not flooded at high tide, or another way out for the flautist, but unfortunately we should probably turn back and return at lower tide. We don't have to wait for low tide, only until the tide again recedes to this level, then we should have plenty of time to explore as the tide continues to fall before rising again. Perhaps in the meantime we can try to find the lighthouse keeper."

Everybody´s ok with going to the lighthouse and coming back later at lowest tide?

and then if the others agree, if he isn't there I think we should look for him at his house on Coney Island, based on the info Thomas Cornell provided.

OOC:
I am okay with going to the lighthouse.

The door of the lighthouse is closed with a chain and a lock. You need to break it if you want to go in.

"Still locked. Let's go and see if we can find this Sawney fellow at his house. I know that earlier I did cast some suspicion on Sawney, figuring that if there were two sets of women's tracks that close to the lighthouse he might know about them or be involved, but I think it is worth questioning him, at least preliminarily."
OOC:
I tried to cover this option above, so I think everyone is OK with this as plan B, if not let me know.

OOC:
i believe I have lockpicking skills. May I try it?
"Let me just peek at that."

Binghampton succeeds. The lock is very similar to another one he had picked some time ago. Behind the door is an iron spiral staircase going up. At the top is the lamp room. Nobody´s inside. The ceiling is high, and the lamp was placed upon a platform which is raised above the floor. The room is circular and has windows all around the perimeter.

The lamp is an old model that works throught a vaporized oil burner. The fuel is vaporized at high pressure and burned to heat the mantle, giving the output light. The lamp lacks a 'sun valve', which would automatically regulate the light and turning it off during the daytime.

On the table is a nautical chart of the Bay of Fundy. It is a graphic representation of the maritime area adjacent coastal Greyton and the nearby small Coney Island. The map shows depths of water, heights of land, natural features of the seabed (high density of kelp forests nearby Coney Island and Greyton), details of the coastline, information on tides, currents and winds.

There´s a telescope, but strangely, it is not pointed at the sea. It has been recently moved, as the dust on the floor suggests. It was placed in the opposite side of the room, in a point suited to observe the West Hills.

On the table is some gunpowder and burning dust, as if someone had recently cleaned a gun. There are books about the ecosystem of the Bay of Fundy. There are also books of astronomy, in particular about the periodicity of star constellations.

Mister Edmond walks over the telescope and look through it. I say to the others Looks like there has definitely been someone else here. We may have just missed them?
OOC:
Are there any drawers in the table?

"I wonder why the telescope is pointing the way it is? Let's try to identify some landmarks so we can find and investigate the area that the telescope is trained on."
OOC:
I would like to examine the dust on the floor for footprints other than ours. Specifically, are their women's tracks like we saw on the beach or child-sized tracks?

The table has no drawers. The telescope is pointing at the church that lies at the top of the hill of Greyton.
The dust on the floor is not very thick, but at one point Michael can identify the footprint of a man's shoe.
Jul 29, 2019 2:41 pm
Michael pages through the books, looking for any bookmarks, inserted material, dog-eared pages, or any other indication that the reader focused on a particular section or hid anything within. After that, he says, "shall we go to the church, try to determine why someone in the lighthouse may be interested in keeping an eye on it?"

I look at Mr. o'shaughnessy and say I think that's a great idea going to the church. Did you find anything interesting in the books?
