Underwater Cave

We set out first thing in the morning to survey the continuous cliffs running along the north side of the lake.

The problem with these cliffs was that we had no idea how far the sheer precipice continued.

Even after sending up the drone, we couldn't see the end, so I didn't think we could cover it in a single day.

That meant there was no shore where we could put out the container house, and we might end up spending the night on the water.

We had already confirmed that this lake contained monsters like the kraken, so I wanted to avoid danger somehow, but...

The beastfolk went ahead along the cliff, rowing by hand.

Our rubber boat, equipped with a two-horsepower outboard motor, followed behind while surveying.

The beastfolk marked the rock face with pink spray paint, then measured the distance to each mark with a laser.

We recorded the bearing and distance on the map.

The beastfolk's boat ahead of us was fast even under oars...
