Enter where you find yourself in a foreboding scene outside a coastal fortress with a stone quay and a ballista.

The wind whips strongly across the trapezoidal-shaped granite fortification. The roar of heavy surf crashing against the seawall surrounds you with its disquieting procession frequently accompanied by spray. A narrow stone quay extends northward into the grip of the unfriendly sea, with a narrow stairwell climbing the fortress wall on the landward side. Atop a raised platform at the center of the landing is a massive oak ballista.
