Critical Success: You walk for a while until you reach the center of the crater. It appears that something impacted here, but in the middle of the crater, you find only a rune with a thunderbolt engraved on it. While you don't understand the meaning of the rune, you can't help but feel a strange connection to it. Unfortunately, it's too heavy to carry. As you look around, you find plenty of shards scattered about. You take the opportunity to rest a little before moving on.

(Bernard) "Hmm... Did you know that this island underwent a dramatic change about seventy years ago? The Sahti folk believe that a great warrior was expelled from the heavens after a rebellion, and her landing created this crater. Hmm... But between us, it wasn't a rebellion. She's too kind for that. I believe it was more of an... accident." You head to the location Bernard mentioned, where you manage to rest and find some shards before continuing on your journey. You get: Shards 160, XP 116 • Requires Sigrun in party The geography of this island is unique. There is a big crater that covers the majority of the island. Sigrun points out the best approach to the island, noting that it is a good place to replenish the ship's supplies. She also mentions that she would like to retrieve something from the island, indicating that she knows this place very well. Do you accept her request? Choices:

Lord Hanshek and the princess are within your grasp, and the mission must continue. Sigrun watches with a hint of sadness as the island gradually fades from view on the horizon.

(Sigrun) "I barely remember anything before my arrival. The first thing I recall is the current Sahti elder, who was much younger at the time, helping me. Although they tended my wounds and healed my body, my soul still suffers. Why was I rejected? Why did I fall? I used to come here to meditate. I even buried some of the gear I carried when I fell nearby. Come with me; I'll show you." Sigrun leads you to a rune engraved with a thunderbolt. She explains that she cannot fully read it because she doesn't remember all the symbols, but they seem familiar to her. She then digs up a hidden box and shows you its contents. You get: XP 152 Unlocks an option at Kraken's Treasure Item draft (6 items, including Sea Shell, Runic Ring, Lightning Rune or Gold 50 )

Sigrun nods to Bernard, and Bernard begins to speak. (Bernard) "Hmm... I remember it like it was yesterday. The young man who found you came running to me, asking for help. What he said didn't make any sense at first, something about a woman from the sky landing on the island. I was about to give him some potion to calm him down, but I saw the truth in his eyes. My concoctions helped alleviate your pain, but I know they can't heal everything, Sigrun. Hmm, let's continue our journey and see where it leads us." You find a nice spot to rest on the island before continuing your journey. You get: XP 152
