The giant beast falls, exhaling it's last breath.

Erriviel studies the bird thing's body for a moment, "It seems that someone was keeping pets. Let's find our irresponsible owner."

AREA 2 - THE COURTYARD GARDENS

An archway in the fortress’s outer wall provides access to a large courtyard, now filled with vegetable gardens and a small orchard of stunted apple trees. Stairs to the east and west lead up to walkways overlooking the yard. To the southwest, the base of the bell tower is obscured by thick growths of vines, which also shroud the west stairs. A set of double doors stands along the front of the hermitage on the far side of the garden, and appears to be the only way inside.

Along the eastern side of the courtyard, the wall of the fortress once abutted the larger of the island’s rocky hills. But that hillside has since been hewn away to create a passage rounding the corner of the hermitage.

The wall surrounding the courtyard is 15 feet high and has a 3-foot-wide walkway along its top, accessed by the stairs to the east and west. The wall has no parapets and provides no cover to those atop it. A pile of gardening tools lies at the base of the east stairs, next to wooden buckets.

Any close inspection of the double doors leading into the hermitage reveals that they were recently broken open and have been jammed shut again. The doors can be forced open with a successful DC 16 Strength (Athletics) check.

AREA 3 - YARD AND CISTERN

A low, unfinished stone wall encloses a broad, sandy yard abutting an open vista of beach and sea. A small tower accessible by an external stair rises against the hermitage’s eastern wall. Several scrubby bushes stand to the north of a large oval pool at the center of the yard. Along the north edge of the yard, the wall of the fortress once abutted the larger of the island’s rocky hills. But that hillside has since been hewn away to create a passage rounding the corner of the hermitage.

DC 17 Wisdom (Perception) check: ?????
