Week 2: Bone Island

This is the dumps. Literally. The bottom of the garbage shoot where 11 levels of prisoners toss their rubbish. The excluded, unwanted, and forgotten live in houses of bone built up along the wall and along the giant's skull. They search the island of bones and trash, compete, and at times cooperate, with the predatory fish people in the lake and the harpies along the wall. Clockwork creatures of bone and pit beetles scutter underfoot, and giant spiders hunt the caverns behind the skull.

Rumors:

• The lake is miles deep, and if you go down far enough, you can find the entire skeleton of the giant.
• At the bottom of the lake, under the trash, is a gateway to a world of water that lets you escape from the prison if you can breathe underwater.
• The water level is rising, and it will eventually flood the entire dungeon.
• The harpies have a collection of magic wands they do not know how to use.
• The clockwork creatures are all spies for the Engineer.
