Returned to the caravan to find aftermath of tin soldier attack. We're missing 8 expedition members and the rest are dead.
- Grug and Jerrek are among the missing; we set out to find them
Found and followed a wagon trail through the woods; wagon was not animal powered
Came across a makeshift fort at the end of the trail; found some sort of golem creature inside
Killed the clockwork creature; found an unrecognizable 8 star symbol
Investigated the beach; found our missing wagon, but no trace of the 8 missing expedition members
Found a journal of a sailor under a bed in the fort about their expedition (notes to follow):
- Mentions a country called Calmer (never heard of this place before)
- Never mentions sails at any point; talks about stoking the flames in a sailor's journal
- Uses strange, unrecognizable dating system
- Mentions an emperor and finding a strange, new land and making contact with mainland
- Colonizers withdrew after encountering a large group (maybe us?)
Journal also held a propaganda poster about "joining an expedition to serve Calmer"
- Prominently features a large, 8 pointed star identical to the ones on the gears and robots
