Day Thirty: The Dead and the Lost
The day dawns with cloudy skies and moderate temperatures of 24C (75F) and relatively high winds. A storm does not seem imminent, but the breeze will prevail all day long. It will prove to be a good day for drying any items that have been laundered, although care will need to be taken with the fire so sparks won't ignite the lean-tos or the nearby brush.
At the exact northeastern point of the island, not far from the shore, someone will discover a graveyard that shows signs of once having been carefully tended. There are nine wooden crosses arranged in rows, lashed together with strong vine, although some of the ties have loosened and some of the crossties have fallen to the ground. Some of the inscriptions carved into the wood are no longer legible, but some are; the most recent is marked with a name and the date '2006?' The graveyard is surrounded by brush and rocks, at least somewhat sheltered from the wind and rain, and there is an eerie silence that hangs over it. It is approximately half an hour's walk from camp, and nearly an hour's walk from where Quinn Landry was buried.
Once evening falls and the tribe gathers for an evening meal, it will be discovered that Olivia is nowhere to be found. At first others might assume she has gone to use the restroom or to take an evening bath, but if anyone should go searching for her, they won't find her.
Please ping here if you would like your character to find the graveyard. This can be a single character discovery or multiple characters; first come, first serve!
