Day 6, Entry by Chief Engineer Wilhelm Putz
I wake the next morning as the men feast on the leftovers from the night before. We have some food, but we will definitely need more. The problem is that if we hunt all the nearby game, we will soon have nothing to hunt. Growing food is time consuming. It may be something we try in the end, but there is an ocean nearly right outside our door. If only we could fish....
Inspiration hits me. The silken string I got from the spiders last night! I quickly fashion a fishing pole and head out. I spend the better part of the day fishing.
Success comes quickly. Strike after strike and I soon have a nice string of fish to fry. With all the wading in the shallows, I notice some clay. With my shovel I soon have a large load to take back to camp. A late lunch of fish, the men experimenting with the red clay, and I have a hours of daylight to go. Looking out of our camp, I see the two caves in the side of the mountain. Perhaps its time to check them out.
I search first one, then the other. There is some coal in one, the other is just a large open cavern Still, the exploration takes time. I fix some torches up so we can see inside if we climb up. As I exit, I marvel at the beauty of the moon rising behind the hill that sits atop our camp.
As I head back to camp, I put two torches up where we last saw one of those skeleton archers. Perhaps it will be the next place to be explored.
