Since I am a fan of the "Player Handout" I decided the players needed a bit of visualization of their surroundings to get the ball rolling. I gave them a quick sketch map of the area that was visible to them from the point that they had washed (or swum) ashore. They were currently at the spot marked on the beach.
The black flag indicated where the Seaward Howl went down and the two other flags marked the spot to which the other ships had backed off during the storm. I wanted them to realize, without me telling them, that the threat of the slavers was far from over. I also let them know that two lifeboats were ashore with them. An overgrown path skirted the base of the hills and led into the jungle. The map covered an area of approximately 6 miles x 6 miles.
Also from the beach, the body of the slain sorcerer could be seen floating just a bit further out from lifeboats...
