II. Battle on the Hill
Getting to the top of the cliffs is work, but not particularly dangerous. There are just enough ledges sticking out that one can almost walk up the cliff. At the top of the cliff, nearly the whole island is laid out in view. The rain coming in thick across the island reduces visibility to a few hundred feet. The highest and most forbidding hills are westward, running the entire length of the island from North to South. Northward is broken terrain, passable but not easy going, while eastward the terrain seems to flatten out a little bit. However, since it's still hilly and broken even in that direction, nobody can see any sign of shelter or a human community in any direction.
There's not much green to be seen, except for some common, practically indestructible scrub growth, the island seems to be totally lifeless.
