However, there should be some sort of challenge or complication as the Castaways search through the ruined volcanic island looking for the lair. These random complications might also apply to any wandering encounters that might happen if the Castaways decide to take a long rest, so maybe we make some encounters that might provide some sort of boon as well? | This step would be finding the lair of the basilisk.
