Call of Cthulhu - The Island - Gameplay

You don't find anything of value or interest on the woman, nothing in her pockets or similar. Leaving the woman by the fire and exiting the tavern, you see the lighthouse in the distance, shining like a beacon. It is still very rainy and stormy outside, and you can hear the waves crash beyond the cliffs. It's probably like 10:00 at night, maybe even later. Searching the ground immediately outside the inn, you don't see any tracks, the muddy ground's pretty churned up by driving rain, and the usual foot traffic of people coming and going from the tavern.

The lighthouse, beach, and docks area are just under a kilometer away, you can get there pretty easily. Since you were indicating you might want to check this area out to see if there's a shipwreck, I'll assume that you'll be heading over, so I can give you the next entry.

You make your way across the island to the lighthouse, moving over rugged rocky terrain. The lighthouse looms up in front of you, the light shining into the night. Next to the lighthouse, you see the edge of the cliff, and the open sea beyond. Looking down over the edge of the cliff, you see a wooden ship, crashed on the treacherous rocks. In the moonlight, you see a pair of humanoid figures, moving slowly along the rocks. They look like men, dressed as a sailor would be, but you can't see their faces. The two figures enter the interior of the ship through an opening broken in its hull, and disappear from view.

The storm continues.

Alright, finally got some time to update. Sorry about the delay everyone, work was really mauling me this week, especially since I'm doing someone else's role while they're away on holiday.

For those of you heading down to the beach, you are able to stop past the fish shacks and pick up some equipment (boat hooks, rope, etc). Making your way further down, you see the ship ahead of you on the rocks, listing onto its side. There is a big hole broken open inside of the ship. The ship shudders suddenly as it's hit broadside by a wave, and there's a creaking and snapping of wood as it rolls against the rocks.

You see that there is some large boxes scattered on the nearby beach, and on the rocks themselves, as if some cargo has hastily been unloaded. Looking closely, you see what looks like a couple of dead sailors, lying amongst the scattered cargo. As you watch, you see another humanoid figure, moving through the darkness, seemingly looking like it's picking through the cargo, as if it's searching for something. Suddenly, it bends down, and picks up something roughly the size and shape of a brass diving helmet from amongst the scattered wreckage, and then the figure begins moving away from you.

It's hard to make out details, given how dark it is, and given the weather conditions. For those of you up top on the cliff, you don't see much of this, just the lanterns bobbing about below, and the listing ship lit by moonlight.
