258.101 (The grassy climb)

 258.101

Listed elevation: 0 sea level but rising.
Complexity  5 (tall grass many boulders , difficult terrain.)

Nearby hexes have higher elevations so the terrain must be climbing up away from the beach in a grassy  rocky scramble. High stalk's of  marsh grasses and bamboo like trees are all around. The vegetation is thick and hard to see through. The team quickly looses site of the ship as they walk inland.

 A feeling of quiet isolation befalls the  party as they move up the  gentile slope. Insects buzzing about and  the  occasional sounds of exotic birds are all that greet your ears. Small talk concerning the  adventures ahead break the silence.

The  weather is fine for walking but getting  cooler as the  sun dips lower.

The Vista: 

• North: To the  North the  sea is still on the horizon as you  climb steadily the ship recedes from view blocked out by a sea of tall grasses.
• West: To the  west the  grassy marsh extends outward as far as your team can see.
• South: :To the  south The terrain climbs steadily (about 1100 feet in elevation crossed 7 miles. a gentile 3% grade) the  thick shore grasses begin to thin out on the  southerly border giving way to the larger slower growing tress of a proper forest.
• East: To the  east  One can catch glimpses of the rolling dunes of a vast sandy beach. 

Obvious features:

• Tall grass
• very tall Bamboo like trees.
• small game trails
• A 10 foot by 12 foot stone foundation covered in grass and moss sitting precariously on a slope.
