The village is a simple village, a cluster of raised houses surround a platform that centers on a large natural pillar of stone.  Wooden walkways run between the dwellings and out towards the sea, becoming great piers that can hold all manner of boats.  The village itself is a small one, making it's living primarily off the sea itself by fishing but it is a popular place for merchants to stop by and as such the port is typically bustling but from the deck of the ship on which you stand it seems oddly desolate.  A single fishing boat rests at the lowest pier and beyond it, in the village proper, you can see another fishing boat on it's side, clearly under repair.<br/><br/>You knew the monsters had been growing restless of late, that was why they sent you out here after all.  The hunter's guild holds a long and proud tradition of sending it's untested hunters and huntresses into these places as a trial by fire where they can start with the little tasks and work their way up to becoming fully-fledged warriors.  You know a guild station is already here and has been for some time now, surveying the surrounding islands and sorting the tasks that need to be accomplished by their difficulty.  The villagers will have set aside housing for you too, and a craftsman has been found who can make whatever weapons you need from whatever you manage to obtain.<br/><br/>In short, everything that can be prepared for you, has been.  All you need to do is hunt monsters.<br/><br/>It's hard not to suspect that it may not be quite as simple as it sounds.
