Step Two Some of the caves house many useful stones, other house things waiting to kill you. You can keep on collecting for as long as your willing to risk it (or until you die.)
Roll 1d8
1: A few stones! Roll 1d4 to see how many you find in this cave!
2: Sentient sea weed aggressively gropes you! Roll 1d4 to see how much damage it does!
3: A nice amount of stones! Roll 1d8 to see how many you find in this cave!
4: Tentacles! Roll 1d8 to see how much damage they do!
5: A bunch of stones! Roll 1d10 to see how many you find in this cave!
6: This area becomes permanently mob free and reveals a large cache of stones, roll 1d20 to see how many you find in this cave!
7: The mermaids guarded several large, dark caves that are now open to explore. Hundreds to thin, snake-like tendrils shoot out from the darkness. Roll 1d12 to see how much damage they do!
8: The mermaids guarded several large, dark caves that are now open to explore. What appears to be a cave full of inviting stones is actually a huge toothy maw, patiently waiting to devour you. Roll 1d20 to see how much damage it does!
It was an odd thought as he moved to a small cluster of coral where a few rocks were collected.

It was here he noticed the caves. Open maws where shadows moved.

Inside the cave, the tendrils shot out, trying to pull him inside towards the mermaids and the darkness inside. Whatever they were guarding was aggressive and important, and he wanted nothing to do with it.
Kicking out, he tore at the tendrils until he pulled free, and quickly swam away. HP: 36/50 Stones Found: 8

Sure of his ability, he moved closer and went to reach out, but noticed that the stone moved. It was cameo - something alive was looking like stone!!
He darted back, but the mouth slammed shut and tiny, barbed teeth dug into his arm and tore in, scraping his Fear shield as he pulled his hand free and swam back. Heart pounding, he kicked out and away, not wanting to see if the owner of the mouth could swim towards him or not. Instead, the cave opened up again, waiting for something a little more stupid to come in.

If you roll 10+ you escape it, if you roll below you receive 10 damage and need to try again. 5: a bus-sized sea creature attack you. It has 30 HP and 5 auto damage.

He turned, heading upwards - but was intercepted by what appeared to be a jellyfish. It was pink of all colors and spotted blue. Not natural by any means and he was instantly suspicious. The was furthered by the fact it turned and headed towards him.
Great.

It would turn around him with almost mocking grave and ease in the water, brushing against his thigh and stinging him once more. If it wanted to play, he wasn't interested. HP: 23/50 Stones Found: 8

Quote: Find a place where you can reach the most perfect calm and focus possible, and then begin carving Uruz into each of your stones. Think on the purpose of the stone, and meaning of Uruz as you do so. Focus as much of yourself and your actions on the rune and the act of carving. Some people choose to chant out loud or do visual exercises to more perfectly focus on the task, but different methods work best for different people. Once the rune begins to glow, you'll know it's finished. Because this process depends more on people than lab computers and code, it's less consistent and predictable in its results. Roll 1d10 for each rune stone 1-4: failure! The runestone never glows and eventually breaks. 5-8: Regular Rune! The runestone can power small, battery-operated runic devices for up to a week. 9-10: Superior Rune! The runestone can charge your runic weapons. (In and out of battle. If in battle, it will take 5 turns for the weapon to properly charge.)
He worked slowly, having more time to focus on each stone without possible eye strain from doing too many, and was pleased with his success. Over half were perfect! He was very pleased with himself. He managed one regular stone, and the rest were just duds due to his own mistakes. Still, half that were great made him feel proud, and he placed them into his storage case and admired his handiwork for a moment before closing it.

Week Four:Step One In the water surrounding the island there's numerous edlritch horrors of the deep waiting to attack your hunter.
Roll 1d6
1: a massive sea creature attacks you. Roll 1d20 to escape its gaping maw. If you roll 10+ you escape it, if you roll below you receive 10 damage and need to try again.
2: a bus-sized sea creature attack you. It has 30 HP and 5 auto damage. You can escape it by rolling 1d20 and getting 13+, failure results in auto damage.
3: a small-sized sea creature attack you. It has 15 HP and 3 auto damage. You can escape it by rolling 1d20 and getting 15+, failure results in auto damage.
4: you are safe.
5: you are safe.
6: you are safe.
He didn't know what to do, and upon entering his own room, felt too overwhelmed being anywhere near Rin's things. He had a list of things to do. Packing for her. Preserving her things in perfect condition in order to have even the smell kept locked and sealed - that way they would be ready upon Rin's return. He needed to leave the island and collect things for such a move and also arrange his small room for all her things. Her room still kept half her things she hadn't already brought to his room. He also had the garden to take on and send a request to take over.
Those tasks were distractions, ones he needed, but they were still overwhelming due to the reason they were being taken.
A swim in the ocean was just something that seemed good. To just get away and sink a little.
He gathered his things, signed out the equipment, and took a moment just wading in the water. Out on the ocean, he looked out at the island and wondered if he could just turn and start swimming forever towards nothing.
Instead, he dived down, more or less letting himself sink a moment and turned around to look up at the sun pouring through the rippling surface. He took deep breathes, loud behind his breathing mask, and let his mind just - face out.

In the end, he was curious about something. Had the mermaids just evolved to guard these caves due to seeing that the hunters were collecting them? Did they also create runics or use the stones for some other purpose? Was there something more hidden in these caves.
He moved in a little closer to one of the less guarded caves where a pile of stones was resting. He decided sticking to normal caves was better, but had to be sure that the next one he saw was actually a normal cave. He tested this out by picking up a rock and throwing it into the cave. It was a bit hard throwing anything under water, but after giving it a few tries, the rock went in without so much as a twitch from the cave.
With that, he moved in closer and started to collect some stones.
