Shipwrecked on Skeleton Island [40x40]

Small, isolated island in the middle of nowhere. Rickety vegetation, dried-out trees, scuttled rowboats - just about what you can expect as a shipwrecked sailor...



What's not to be expected, however, is a giant skeleton - partially incorporated into the sand and rocks of the island. With two sets of petroglyphs hidden around island - this can provide at least a bit of confusion for the unlucky PCs, and distract them from usual survival attempts...

* Make your players realize, that giant skull on the map was not, in fact, pirate symbolics - but proper cartography....
* Go wild with "Speak with the dead" on a giant skeleton (there's a jaw there, just buried):
* either make your players dig through rock to free the jaw...
* or decide that the skeleton is an undead - and describe shattering of rocks when he unburies himself...
* There's a scuttled rowboat under skeleton's hand - will it react if it's taken away?
