mapping party redux

[rebells]

Who: mapping party! (late signups for mapping party can go here)
Where: the near western side of the island
When: Day 85
Open/Closed: semi-open! feel free to mingle/run into mapping party at any of the locations. if you would like to be in mapping party, signups are above!

[So maybe you were invited along on this expedition by Jay or a friend. Maybe you heard a telepathic message a couple days ago looking for people with scouting and mapping skills and answered the call. Maybe you just happened to be in the area. Whatever the reason, there's a small group of people and dragons assembling on the beach near the huts, and Jay appears to be in the center of it, checking that everyone he's expecting is accounted for.

They'll be going by air to map the near western coastline and circling back around to camp, touching down every so often to look for landmarks and other potentially useful areas on the way. You're welcome to come along, if you can bargain yourself space on dragonback.]

[Five huts. Well, more like tiny houses. He clears some of the overgrowth away to get a better look at them. They don't seem to need repaired.

He opens the far left one and steps inside. When he emerges he has a puzzled look on his face and a small hand lantern with a half burnt candle inside.]

...this is odd. There's signs of living here but, I couldn't find much. There's no signs of a struggle or flight.

[Moon, having just hopped down off Nebby to take a look, frowns at the candle.] Do you think they all went somewhere? Maybe we should wait before we take anything.

[He lifts the lantern up to inspect it carefully. There's no signs of damage.] I came out here to look at this in the light.

If they went somewhere else there has to be signs around here. What did you see from the air?

[lunala]

I didn't see anyone... But there's a lot of trees and bushes and stuff, they could be hidden somewhere. [The huts seem really strange, abandoned as they are.]

[spaceforged]

Did it look like any of them had been damaged recently? [Shiro glances back at the huts. There has to be some sort of signs around. But he hasn't found any.]

...it's like they were interrupted but. If they left it might have been by choice. That makes this weirder than it already was.
