A faint trail follows around the base. This spot has been nicely shielded from the winds and sand. A nice spot to rest perhaps. ~ 0 268435458 10 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17084 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17079 S #17084 Naratian Desert~ ~ ~ You come across a pile of large boulders jutting out from the cliff.

Blood stains the light brown sands that the wind so eagerly attempts to cover up. There is a small corpse laying here, that of a goblin. It looks as if the battle had occured just hours ago.

The trees overhead form an arch, and cut off almost all of the daylight, making it pretty dark. The floor is devoid of plants without the lifegiving light. Animals peer at you intently from in the woods, interested by your curious appearance. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17136 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18383 S #17133 Towering Redwood~ ~ ~ A single, large Redwood has grown before you. Surrounding the Redwood are several other trees. From off in the distance, you hear the sounds of animals walking amoung the underbrush. Several branches are swaying in the light breeze.

The lush greenery of the leaves reflects the sunlight all around. In the distance, you hear the sound of running water which must be the reason for the life in these trees. Some chirping can be heard coming from a nest in the branches hanging above. The power and life radiating from these trees is immense. One can just sit and wonder how much these have trees have seen over thousands of years. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17324 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17224 S #17135 Small Forest~ ~ ~ The surrounding trees are slowly falling over into the dirt. The grass has been completely stripped from the area around this forest. Footprints in the ground are all thats left from the constant trampling. To the south, one can hear the voices and sounds of the city. The pollution from the nearby city has started to take it's toll on these first few trees. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17258 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17804 S #17136 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A small breeze filters through the trees around you. The soft cracking of branches can be heard from everywhere. A family of small rabbits hop across your path into the bushes. A sweet aroma is coming off the little purple flowers growing off some bushes. The leaves crunch as you crush them with your every footstep. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17137 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17153 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17132 S #17137 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The small path has been cluttered with falling leaves. Small branches from the smaller trees brush against your clothing as you walk around. The bushes covered with purple flowers continue to grow here. The bushes seem to originate from a large patch of them growing at the base of a mountain. The mountain does not seem to span very high into the sky but looks impossible to cross at this point. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17138 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17152 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17136 S #17138 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A large group of trees seem to be huddled around a small pond. This pond must be what is keeping the wildlife alive in this part of the forest. Along the side of the pond is a squirrel quenching it's thirst. The trees growing along the side of the small pond appear to be much healthier than the rest of the plant life. The swaying of the branches breaks the silence of the forest. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17139 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17151 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17137 S #17139 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The trees in this part of the forest do not seem to grow within five feet of the mountain. All that lies between the trees and the mountain is dirt. As one looks up at the top branches, you can see that even the branches are leaning towards the west. The wind seems to be coming from the east but does not seem to be strong enough to cause this. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17140 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17150 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17138 S #17140 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The forest continues here with the trees towering all who pass underneath them. The sight of squirrels and other wildlife can be seen throughout the trees and along the ground. From behind a bush slightly off to the side, one can smell the droppings of passing animals. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17143 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17149 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17139 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17141 S #17141 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A rocky path leads off to the east towards a mountain. The trees have started to grow sparingly in this spot. Small rocks cover the ground instead of leaves as one moves closer to the mountain. There appears to be a path leading into a mountain pass to the east. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17142 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17140 S #17142 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A small clearing has opened up between all the trees. A circle of rocks have been left in the middle of the clearing from a previous campfire. The grass immediately surrounding the campfire is trampled and brown. Small logs have been dragged from the forest to surround the rocks making room for one to sit. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17143 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17141 S #17143 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The forest has stopped abruptly at the side of a mountain. No life appears to live on the side of the mountain. Even the forest creatures seem to stop and turn around at the base. There seems to be one single bush growing against the mountain. ~ 0 1 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17144 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17148 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17140 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17142 S #17144 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A giant Redwood can be seen growing to the north. It appears to stand above even the tallest trees of this forest. A hole has been dug into the ground. A small underground stream flows underneath the forest. This must be how the trees and bushes stay so green and healthy. This must be a popular watering hole from the markings around the hole. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17145 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17147 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17143 S #17145 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A rocky path leads up into the mountain in the east. The path grows very narrow as it reaches further into the heart of the mountain. Boulders appear to have fallen recently to the side of the path. Off to the west, a light forest has taken root. You can hear the sounds of wildlife in the air. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17146 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17144 S #17146 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The path gets very narrow as you walk through the mountain pass. The light reflects brightly off the rocks in the side of the mountain. The wind is whipping through the pass at extreme speeds. Small rocks are knocked off the mountain and are constantly bombarding you as you try to move. ~ 0 268435460 3 Rd 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17154 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17147 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17145 S #17147 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The path gets very narrow as you walk through the mountain pass.

The path grows very narrow as it reaches further into the heart of the mountain. Off to the east, a light forest has taken root. The sight of the green leaves brightens the entire area. You can hear the sound of running water off in the forest. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17148 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17157 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17150 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17140 S #17150 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ Several trees have grown apart from the rest. There appears to be three of them that have wrapped around each other. This has caused many of the larger branches to grow towards the ground. It appears that one could use these branches to walk higher into the tree. Many squirrels seem to be running up and down these branches. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17149 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17158 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17151 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17139 S #17151 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ As one looks off to the west, you can see a small pass through the mountain. A small stream flows slowly at your feet. This water has caused the surrounding ground to become mud and you can see that several paw tracks have been left behind. Many trees have several of their roots reaching for the water of the stream. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17150 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17159 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17152 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17138 S #17152 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ This area of the forest is lacking in the beautiful trees seen thoughout the rest of the forest. Many small bushes grow in a row along the edge of trees. Each of the bushes have small black berries growing off the branches. The sound of running water can be heard from the west. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17151 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17160 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17153 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17137 S #17153 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ A mountain appears to block the forest to the west. A patch of wild clovers has started to grow along the small stream flowing along the base of the mountain. Many small forest creatures scurry from the trees to nibble on the clovers. The branches sway slightly with the breeze. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17152 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17161 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17136 S #17154 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ Many beautiful trees have taken root in the grass. The sweet smell of the forest is carried on the breeze that passes your nose. Some small flowers are growing along the edge of many of the trees. The sound of many animals can be heard all around you. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17133 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17163 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17155 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17146 S #17155 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The mountain has stopped any further growth of the forest to the west. A small stream flows along the edge of the mountain. Animal tracks can be seen in the mud along the stream. The grass has been stepped and clawed enough to stop its growth anywhere near the stream. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17154 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17164 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17156 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17147 S #17156 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The trees of the forest completely surround you as you walk in the forest.

The trees and bushes to the south appear to be falling over and dying. As one looks north, the life of the forest appears to be better off then their southern counterparts. One can slightly hear the sounds of civilization off the wind coming in from the south. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17156 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17166 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17158 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17149 S #17158 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The crossing of branches has made it hard for more than one person to stand here with comfort. From the top of the trees, one can skim the tops of the forest. There is a mountain to the west but one can't see if there is a path through from up here. One can see the tops of buildings from the city far to the south. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17157 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17167 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17159 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17150 S #17159 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The forest around you seems to be the same on all sides, and you wonder where to go. The only landmarks you can see are the mountain to the west and a tall redwood higher than the surrounding trees. To the east you hear the sound of running water. The flowers beneath you have a very peculiar fragrance. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17158 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17168 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17160 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17151 S #17160 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The trees around you seem all the same. THe pine scent is somewhat overwhelming. You hear the chirping of birds and the sounds of the winds rustling the trees. A calm breeze is causing this, and feels cool against your skin. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17159 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17169 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17161 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17152 S #17161 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The small bushes and plants here are covered with a light dew. It is very quiet here, and there is a atmosphere of calm serenity. The silence is broken only by the occasional animal and your constant footsteps.

It doesn't look as if you'll be able to pass through this way. The forest lightens up to the north and east. An owl stares at you from a limb above you a moment and flies off. You watch it for a second and continue on your way. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17161 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17171 S #17163 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ This seems to be the perfect place for a picnic. You sit down against a large tree to the north, which bars your path. A small squirrel investigates you from a distance, and shows particular interest in the food you are carrying. As it nears you, you offer it a cracker, which it eats happily. It carries some of the food with it, perhaps for its family. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17172 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17164 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17154 S #17164 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ To the south you see a clearing in the woods, and can see an old tree towering gracefully over the other trees. A tree here you look at has a hole the size of your fist in it. Peering inside you see a nest of newly hatched birds. They screech for their mother as you look inside. You see the mother swoop beside your head with a worm into the hole, and it gawks at you for disturbing its children. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17163 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17173 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17165 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17155 S #17165 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The trees here have receded into a clearing, with a solitary tree in the center. This tree seems to be ancient, far older than any other in this forest. Its massive truck appears to be several feet across.

Apon closer examination, you find a spider web crossing your path. This spider web is so complex and fragile, you almost feel guilty for breaking it. The morning dew has collected on it and streaks to the bottom where it drips. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17165 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17175 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17167 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17157 S #17167 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ You hear the sound of water to the south. The forest here seems very light and the plants here have been trampled. It appears this is a game trail, probably to the water you hear.

It has been wounded, its leg grazed by a weapon of sorts. You walk toward it, and it attempts to stand up with little success. As you get closer, you see the wound was made recently, and you wonder if you are not alone in this forest. Coming within three feet of the young doe, with a final burst of strength it stands up and walks off, limping. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17168 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17178 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17170 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17160 S #17170 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The vegetation here seems to get thicker, and it slows you down.

The animal isn't here now, but an obvious bed of leaves and the reminants of a meal lay on the ground. Bushes with very sharp thorns lie to the south, and you don't dare venture into them. The nest lies under them, safe from predators. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17170 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17180 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17162 S #17172 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ As you look up, a large mountain looms in the distance.

A doe slowly trots up to a close bush and starts to nibble on the leaves. A pair of squirrels dart into a hole within a tree carrying acorns and nuts in their tiny claws. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17175 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17181 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17177 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17167 S #17177 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ You hear the voices of men to the south. Looking in the air, you see a pillar of smoke towering in the sky above. There is a camp there, and a small bonfire is blazing. Animals stray from this area of high activity. ~ 0 5 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17176 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17182 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17178 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17168 S #17178 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ You find yourself in an abandoned camp. Its occupants are probably not too far off, because the embers are still glowing in the campfire. You figure from some maps strewn about that their objective was to cross the mountain pass to the east. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17177 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17183 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17179 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17169 S #17179 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ The soft layer of grass has been stomped into flat, lifeless blades.

The breeze flowing through the forest is a nice relief to the skin. You can almost feel the sweat evaporate off your skin. A large chipmunk sits on one of the lower branches and watches you.

You can see where the grass has been stomped constantly since there are a few patches of dirt. Even the rest of the grass isn't very tall or lush. ~ 0 4 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17182 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17184 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17178 S #17184 Rathasia Forest~ ~ ~ You look all around the forest and see the variety of wildlife that as grown.

Twigs and dead leaves litter the ground, their strength too feeble to hold onto the tree when a wind swept through the forest, and so the life that held them to the tree was torn from them, and they fell slowly to the ground, exhausted, and finally at rest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17554 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17550 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17540 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17548 S #17550 A Rune Covered Rock~ ~ ~ The forest surrounds you still, but here lies a large, flat rock buried deep into the ground. It's surface is covered in strange runes of a civilisation long dead. They enjoyed their time of supremecy within the forest, and when the time came, they yielded to those who came after them, giving the forest over to a new group of beings who would care for it. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17555 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17537 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17549 S #17551 Trees all around~ ~ ~ Towering trees grow all around you, blocking out the suns light with hundreds, thousands of leaves that rustle softly in a gentle breeze as it blows by, caressing them. The simple sounds of chirping birds and the shifting leaves are all that great your ears. There is not much else to listen to save yourself. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17556 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17552 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17546 S #17552 Thorns all about~ ~ ~ Vines lace the forest floor here. They zigzag this way and that, going here and there, mindless in the patterns of their growth, but they are thick and tough and covered in thorns. Sharp piercing thorns that could tear flesh and draw blood in a second, perhaps that is their purpose. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17557 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17553 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17547 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17551 S #17553 A Small Dip in the Forest Floor~ ~ ~ You enter a sort of valley, the ground slowly slopes downwards gently to a level center, pass that, it creeps up slowly again till it's even again. It's almost uncanny the precision of it. Perfect in the angles and slope all the way around. Of course many trees grow within this little depression. These seem to be larger than the others, they sore higher than those around them. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17558 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17554 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17548 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17552 S #17554 The Forest~ ~ ~ A small rivulet of water flows past your feet, it is perhaps a foot wide. In it are carried small bits of debris, little twigs, small leaves, small little things like such. This little stream will likely dry up in a day or two, and you will likely be the only person who will remember it, and if you don't, in essence, it shall truly be dead. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17559 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17555 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17549 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17553 S #17555 Deep in the Woods~ ~ ~ The trees around you sway in a sudden gust of wind, some of the younger ones bending over, their uppermost branches brushing at your head. Leaves are tore from the limbs of the trees in the violent shaking, and are carried to who knows where. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17560 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17550 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17554 S #17556 A Tangle of Roots~ ~ ~ Two rather massive trees grow beside each other here. Their roots also grow here...And that has made for quite the mess. They intertwine, each searching for fertile soil that the other hasn't already used, it's a battle for life, slow and nearly invisible. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17562 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17557 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17551 S #17557 Tranquility~ ~ ~ You find it easy to think clearly here, in the silence that surrounds you. There isn't much in the way of noise save the sound of the leaves moving in the wind and the little noises that you yourself make. This is truly a peaceful place where silence seems to reign. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17563 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17558 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17552 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17556 S #17558 The Forest~ ~ ~ A world of trees. No houses, no people save travellers. This is a place where people just don't decide to live. Do they fear the untamed wilds. Do they fear having to live alone, left to their own skills and intelligence in order to survive. Do they fear that they lack the skill and intelligence required? Or do they simply fear being alone. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17564 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17559 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17553 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17557 S #17559 A Symbol in Bark~ ~ ~ A large tree grows here, towering high, high into the air. You look at it and you can sense that it's age must be incalculable. You also see when you look at it, that the surface of it's trunk has been marred. Here and there are symbols carved into the bark. A heart with two letters here, two letters overlapping each other over there, a myriad of them all over, each symbolizing and remembering the love of those who put them there so long ago, or so recently. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17565 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17560 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17554 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17558 S #17560 A Pond Within the Woods~ ~ ~ A small pond is here, filled with a somewhat brackish water that seems to suit such animals as frogs and turtles, who seem to enjoy it well enough. Lilypads cover the pond, giving the frogs and other such animals someplace to goto for shade when the sun does on occasion shine through the trees. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17566 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17561 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17555 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17559 S #17561 Within the woods~ ~ ~ You are deep within the forest, there really is little remarkable around you. Mostly trees, the occaisional big rock, and little pools of dirty water where you can see animals drinking from. They run away at your approach, never allowing you to get too close less they give you an opportunity to kill them. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17567 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17560 S #17562 Within the Dark Forest~ ~ ~ Trees surround you on all sides...but then..you're in a forest, what did you really expect? Crazed knights to charge at you, dragons to swoop down from above, breathing fire and stuff all over the place? Perhaps a tiny leprechaun who would offer you his pot of gold if only you could catch him... ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17563 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17556 S #17563 A little sapling~ ~ ~ There is a small tree growing here, it hasn't quite made it pass being two 4 feet tall yet, it's still quite young, new to thhe world if you look at it from a tree's span of life. There is much that this tiny little thing will witness if it is to live out it's life to the length it could. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17564 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17557 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17562 S #17564 The woods~ ~ ~ You are within the forest. Trees surround you, the sky is pretty much completely hidden from view by the myriad leaves that adorn the many trees. Silence permeates the area. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17565 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17558 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17563 S #17565 A Big Slab of Granite~ ~ ~ A big slab of granite rock rises up from the earth, on it are scrawled a few words, carved by a bored adventurer, or a lost traveller, or maybe by a forlorn lover, seeking that which he or she truly desired. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17566 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17559 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17564 S #17566 Near the Mountain~ ~ ~ An ominous shadow rises to the east of you, towering high, high above the trees around you. It's presence sends shivers through your soul. You can't see much of it though, the leaves still being thick above you, blocking out a great deal. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17567 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17560 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17565 S #17567 The Foot of the Mountain~ ~ ~ You stand at the foot of an incredibly enormous mountain which towers so far into the sky, you can't see it's tip. Looking around, you can see no distinguishable trail that goes up the mountain.. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17568 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17561 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17566 S #17568 The Foot of the Mountain~ ~ ~ The rocky surface of Mount Heaven lies to the east, rising high into the blue sky, overshadowing the forest. No trail is visible that could lead you to it's summit, though there are those who try nonetheless and die in vain. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17569 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17567 S #17569 The Foot of the Mountain~ ~ ~ Little is known about Mount Heaven. It's there. That's all that most need to know. Not everyone looks at something and thinks to themselves, Where did that come from? Why is it here? What is it's purpose? And such can be good. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17570 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17568 S #17570 The Foot of the Mountain~ ~ ~ Rubble, debris knocked lose from centuries of wind battering the side of the mountain, lies in the path you follow, it sometimes causes some difficulty, but there isn't really that much of a problem created. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17571 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17569 S #17571 The edge of the Mountain~ ~ ~ You are at the edge of the foothills of a rather large mountain to the southeast of you. It rises high, high into the sky. High enough in fact that to you it seems to pierce the gray clouds overhead. South of the small trail that leads south past the mountain, you can see forest which is much more dense than that which surrounds you. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17574 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17572 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17570 S #17572 The Base of the Mountain~ ~ ~ The mountain takes up all the space to the south and east of you, it's either go around it or sit here doing nothing. I think that the choice is rather obvious, but then, some people are stubborn. The sky above you has a few clouds, and all is well. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17575 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17571 S #17573 A Stump~ ~ ~ The stump of what must have been a rather old tree is here. It seems to be in rather good condition, the suface smooth and there is no sign of decay, perhaps some ranger lives within these woods, taking care of it, or perhaps it's simply some woodland spirit.. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17578 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17574 S #17574 A little forest~ ~ ~ You are within a lightly wooded forest. It's not thick enough that the sky is blocked from view, allowing you the chance to look up at the sky whenever you wish. What you might be looking for, who knows. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17579 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17575 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17571 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17573 S #17575 A Small Forest~ ~ ~ The foilage here isn't very dense, you can see all around you without much trouble. The sound of birds chirping and the sound of wind moving softly through the forest is all that is evident of this areas life. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17580 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17572 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17574 S #17576 The edge of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ You're on a beach that looks out onto the Great Ocean. It's water all over the place, and there isn't a single bit of land anywhere near you beyond what you stand on for as far as you can see. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17581 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17577 S #17577 The Edge of the Forest~ ~ ~ You're at the edge of a forest, it spreads out to the east and south of you. To the west, you can see a great expanse of water, and little else. The forest you are within is rather thin, the trees being fairly spread apart. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17582 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17578 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17576 S #17578 Within the Forest~ ~ ~ Trees are spread about you in great lengths, there is nothing about you that grabs your eyes, there being little else besides the trees, some rocks, and a few animals, squirrels and such. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17583 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17579 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17573 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17577 S #17579 Within the Forest~ ~ ~ The ground below you is covered in a scraggly, not very healthy looking grass that is yellow in colour. Rocks also seem to be littered about. Jutting up from the ground, minor problems for the traveller who looks where he/she is walking. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17584 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17580 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17574 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17578 S #17580 At the Northern end of the Mountain~ ~ ~ The last little bit of the mountain juts out to the north east of you. It's not as high here, but the cliff side is quite sheer, not climbable at all. There is a forest to the west, it's rather thin, not too dense, but it's most definately a forest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17585 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17575 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17579 S #17581 Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ A huge expanse of water is the the west of you. White caps form as waves flow towards the beach that you stand on. The east is dominated by a small forest, green leaves blowing genlty in the breeze. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17594 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17582 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17576 S #17582 A couple of trees~ ~ ~ You're surrounded by a couple of trees. Not very interesting, but it's the truth. The trees are still rather young, not many are over thirty feet tall. Which when you compare to what you can see of the forest to the south, they are quite small. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17595 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17583 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17577 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17581 S #17583 A Grove of Oak Trees~ ~ ~ You enter a grove of birch trees that seem to have grown in a natural circle, then center vacant save for a large flat rock that's about three feet high. Perhaps this grove isn't natural, but it could be. It most certainly could be. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17596 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17584 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17578 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17582 S #17584 The Forest~ ~ ~ Clouds float in an otherwise clear sky high above the trees that surround you. There is from the west and north, the sound of the ocean, and the smell of the sea is strong in the air. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17597 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17585 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17579 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17583 S #17585 Darkness~ ~ ~ You find yourself beneath an enormous tree. The leaves are thickly cluttered together, blocking out most of the suns rays, leaving you in semi darkness. There is a small trail going to the east past the mountain, and the forest widens to the west. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17586 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17580 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17584 S #17586 A Narrow Path~ ~ ~ You walk along a thin stretch of beach, the mountain looms up to your south, and waves from the Great Ocean collide on the shore to the north of you. To the east, you can see a forest, and much further to the east you can see a cliff face. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17587 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17601 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17585 S #17587 The Border of the Woods~ ~ ~ The forest spreads out the the south and east of you. A small trail goes to the west, along the edge of the mountain, the Great ocean is also present, a frothy menace to the north. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17588 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17602 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17586 S #17588 The Edge of Ocean and Forest~ ~ ~ There is to the north, the great body of water known as the Great Ocean, and to the south of you, a forest spreads out, a pleasant looking wooded area that suggests nothing but warmth, and comfort. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17590 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17603 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17587 S #17589 ~ ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17588 S #17590 The Edge of the Ocean~ ~ ~ Waves lap continuously on the beach shore to the north of you, and there is to the south of you a forest that goes on for quite a distance. The clouds in the sky float along without any sign of other life. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17591 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17604 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17588 S #17591 The North Shore~ ~ ~ Trees are a great deal of trees to the south, part of a large forest that spreads out for quite some time, in fact, you can't really determine when it ends, and to the north of you, crystal blue water sparkles in the light of the sun. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17592 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17605 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17590 S #17592 On the North Shore~ ~ ~ The sound of waves lapping on the shore great your ears, quite an over powering sound, blocking out the sounds of the forest to the south of you, that thickens the farther south you look, until you can't see another thing. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17593 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17606 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17591 S #17593 The Base of A Cliff~ ~ ~ A cliff face looms to your east, the rock is sheer, it looks as if climbing it would be more than...difficult. The forest of oaks and maples runs on to the west and south. And of course, the north still borders you on the north. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17607 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17592 S #17594 The Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ The ocean occupies everything that there is to see west of you. To the north and east of you are the forest, while the forest ends rather... shall we say abruptly to the north, where it again meets up with the great ocean. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17598 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17595 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17581 S #17595 The edge of the forest~ ~ ~ You are very near the edge and last little bit of the forest. To the west and north of you, you can hear the sound of the ocean as waves crash upon the shore. The east and south hold more forest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17599 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17596 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17582 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17594 S #17596 The Edge of the Forest~ ~ ~ You basically at the edge of the forest. There is to the north and east of you a brief expanse of forest, then there is nothing but water for as far as you can see. To the south and west of you, you can see only more forest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17600 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17597 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17583 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17595 S #17597 The Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ Breathe the smell of the sweet salt air. Hear the sound of the waves as they smash on the sandy shore. Watch the soothing motion of the ocean before you, then realize you can't go there, turn around, and go back into the woods. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17584 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17596 S #17598 The Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ You stand on a sandy beach, bits of driftwood litter the ground, they ended up, and they started off who knows where. There is a forest to the southeast, it seems to str on for quite some time, and in the distant southeast, you can see a huge mountain rising into the blue sky. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17599 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17594 S #17599 On the Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ The ocean lies to the north and east of you. It seems to go on forever, there is no sight of land anywhere other than that which you stand on. There is a forest that goes to the south, stretching on for quite some while before you can see a mountain rising up into the sky. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17600 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17595 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17598 S #17600 On the Shore of the Great Ocean~ ~ ~ There is nothing to the north of you but water, a whole lot of the blue stuff fills your vision, and it's rather unspectacular, a few white caps and the occaisional bird flying about, but little else. The south has a great expanse of trees. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17596 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17599 S #17601 The Foothills of a Mountain~ ~ ~ You are still within the forest, at the edge of the mountain. The ground around you is much rockier, and the trees have thinned out a bit, but none the less, there is still a rather thick canopy. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17586 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17602 S #17602 The Forest~ ~ ~ The trees around you seem to be in good health, growing strongly and tall. Sapplings dot the ground, in several years, they might be able to attain the height of the others around them, of course, at that point, the others around them will be much taller. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17587 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17603 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17608 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17601 S #17603 A Small Pool of Water~ ~ ~ A pool of water, most likely the remnants of a rainstorm, is used by fauna in the area to drink, the ocean water being a tad on the salty side and thus useless to them. A few of the animals run away at your approach, their natural fear of other creatures helping them stay alive. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17588 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17604 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17609 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17602 S #17604 Within the Forest~ ~ ~ Slender trees rise up on all sides of you, growing gracefully towards the blue sky, each striving to get there first, and to stay there for eternity. But alas, not all can survive this test, and some will wither and waste away. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17590 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17605 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17610 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17603 S #17605 Under the Canopy~ ~ ~ You move beneath the canopy of the trees, the leaves create a somewhat dense barrier that prevents the passage of sunlight to the forest floor below. You would likely be able to find shelter from some of the other elements within these woods, able to keep yourself dry from rain etc. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17591 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17606 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17611 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17604 S #17606 A Depression~ ~ ~ The land seems to have experienced some sort of natural disturbance... It drops down a good 5 or so feet, causing the image of an empty pool, as there are no trees about, or any rocks to speak of. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17592 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17612 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17605 S #17607 The Base of A Cliff~ ~ ~ You stand at the base of a 1000 foot cliff that's been worn sheer by erosion over thousands of years. From the north you can hear the sound of the ocean, waves lapping on the shore, and the sound of sea birds as the fight over scraps of food. The south holds the forest, which as you look deeper into it, you still cannot see it's end. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17593 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17613 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17606 S #17608 The Base of the Mountain~ ~ ~ Gray rock blocks all passage to the west of you. The mountain towers far up into the blue sky, and from what you can see of it at this level, it seems to have little in the way of handholds that could be used to climb to it's summit. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17602 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17609 S #17609 The Forest within the Valley~ ~ ~ You are in a valley of sorts, the ocean is a little ways to the north of you. On your far east, you can see through the trees a cliff face. And to the west of you rises a mountain. The forest is cradled by all these natural oddities, and what lies to the south can't be seen from this vantage point. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17603 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17610 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17608 S #17610 The Woods~ ~ ~ You walk in a lightly wooded forest. The trees around you are still rather young compared to how old they can grow to be. Animals run about, gathering food and whatnot, doing what animals do. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17604 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17611 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17614 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17609 S #17611 Within Nature~ ~ ~ You are immersed in nature.

Everything in life that's natural and beautiful, in all it's innocence. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17605 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17612 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17615 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17610 S #17612 Within the Forest~ ~ ~ Through the dense foliage, you can watch the clouds pass you by slowly in the blue sky. They are of the nice white fluffy kind, the kind that children look up at, and imagine that they are something other than clouds.

The very high cliff that you come up against tends to block out a great deal of sunlight, so not many trees are able to grow in that area. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17617 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17612 S #17614 The Foot of an enormous Mountain~ ~ ~ You stand in the shadow of a mountain that overshadows the forest in which you have been walking. It's impressive in size, and you're not sure, but you think you've maybe heard it's name somewhere before, was it perhaps Mount Heaven? ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17610 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17615 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17621 S #17615 In the Woods~ ~ ~ Brushing past a little shrub, you get yourself a little wet, moisture had accumulated on the surfaces of the shrubs leaves, pooling in droplets and when you brushed it, the movement send it splattering all over you. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17611 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17616 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17622 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17614 S #17616 The forest~ ~ ~ A leaf falls down on you, it's tenuous grasp to the branch above you broken, perhaps by a passing wind, or perhaps simply by lack of strength. It falls past you to the ground below, where it shall decompose and be used to nourish other trees so that they might grow other leaves. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17612 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17617 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17623 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17615 S #17617 Corner of the Cliff Face~ ~ ~ You stand at a sharp edge of the cliff face.

It's still firm and holds you fine. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17617 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17625 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17631 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17623 S #17625 The Forest~ ~ ~ Clouds slip past above you, slowly to your perceptions, but were you up there, you would realize that it's moving much faster than it appears from your current vantage point. The trees block your view somewhat, but they are not spaced that closely together. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17618 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17626 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17632 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17624 S #17626 At the Base of a Cliff~ ~ ~ You're at the bass of a very high cliff that rises up into the sky on your east, preventing passage in that direction.

It's a big mountain that has nothing in the way of handholds, or suitable footing, basically it's kinda unscaleable. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17620 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17628 S #17628 The Woods~ ~ ~ Oaks, maples, birch, others you can't name, others that you can't even verify having ever seen before. All different sorts of trees surround you, each with it's own special leaf, it's own special bark, and each growing high into the sky, reaching for the sun. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17621 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17629 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17634 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17627 S #17629 A Small Rivulet~ ~ ~ You follow a branch as it is swept by in a little rivulet of water that's maybe a foot or two wide. It's speed is far from rapid, but it's odd for so small a body of water to sustain itself and to exist for as long as the marks of erosion suggest that this one has existed. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17622 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17630 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17635 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17628 S #17630 A Dying Tree~ ~ ~ There appears to be a tree here that is in an advanced state of decay.

And you figure it's responsible for the beautifully clear and vitalizing air that you breathe. But perhaps.. it's not exactly true to say it quite like that. Perhaps it's better to say that the air elsewhere is contaminated by the presence of one of the races. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17630 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17637 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17642 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17635 S #17637 The Southern woods~ ~ ~ About you trees grow high into the sun, blocking out the better part of the sun's light from getting the the ground below, thus explaining why the ground is for the most part bare of grass, there is only a bit of moss here and there on rocks that lay about. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17631 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17638 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17643 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17636 S #17638 The Forest~ ~ ~ The forest is spread out around you, moss covered logs blocking your path are the norm, as are rabbits, squirrels, and other such little animals running about before you, enjoying the freedom that they live in. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17632 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17639 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17644 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17637 S #17639 A Large Rock~ ~ ~ There is before you a large granite rock that protudes from the ground. You could almost say that it's shape is cylindrical, why, who knows.

The trees and shrubs tend to hide obstacles such as fallen logs, sharp rocks, holes etc. Thus it is that most will not ride a horse through forests. It is considered highly dangerous to both the horse and the rider. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17634 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17641 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17646 S #17641 The Woods~ ~ ~ The blue sky above you is hidden behind numerous branches that are covered in green leaves, which are absorbing the suns rays in order to survive.

Even from here you can smell the sea, and hear the soothing crash of it's tide. The prairie grasses are thinning here and the soil becomming more sandy. With the sun shining brightly overhead this would be a particularly scerene location save for the bustling sounds of the merchants unloading their vessles in the distance. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18035 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18033 S #18035 The Docks~ ~ ~ The waves lap gently against the shore here.

All along them merchant vessles sit in harbor and men bustle about unloading the valuable cargos aboard them. The smell of sea salt drifts into your nostrils as does the smell of the workers.

The stench of a swamp can be smelled all around you, its scent almost overwhelming your senses. You can go back up the cliff, or further into the swamp. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17260 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 17808 S #18073 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Towering hundreds of feet above you, a vertical stone face drops pebbles on you, and on the other side, a freezing lake lies, its deep blue waters opaque to your eyes. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18075 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17963 S #18074 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The path has nearly turned into beautiful forest. Large trees cover the area, and the sound of life is everywhere. Birds dart from tree to tree while squirrels scuttle around in search of nuts. The lake and cliff both end a little ways farther, and the stillness of the path has now ended as well. ~ 0 4 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18510 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18115 S #18075 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Thin ripples from the center of the lake move toward you slowly, forming huge perfect concentric circles of water.

A bird soars overhead looking for fish in the lake but finding none. Its wings make no sound whatsoever. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18077 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18075 S #18077 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ An eagle dives by your head, barely missing. It screams and flies off, its powerful wings creating a forceful blast of wind about you. It's call echoes loudly, fading out after a few seconds, and the new ripples formed on the surface of the lake collide with the old ones in perfect synchronization. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18076 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18078 S #18078 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The path narrows here, with only a few feet to walk on without getting soaked. A large tree juts out of the cliff face in the wrong direction, a pile of dead leaves is under it on the ground. It looks very strange. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18077 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18079 S #18079 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The path curves here, widening a few feet, then nearly closing up at the corner of the cliff. A few trees block your path, forcing you into the freezing water. While wincing and forcing your feet to move, a bird lands on one of the trees and begins singing, as if mocking you. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18080 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18078 S #18080 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Several trees are clustered together here, around a large bush. Everywhere around you, you see small birds nesting and screeching. Several dive at you from the tops of trees and fly back before you can reach them. After doing this for a few seconds, they all hide and quiet down to silence. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18081 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18079 S #18081 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ It becomes very quiet, and the usual bird or insect you could find is gone-there is no visible life here at all. A lone tree sits here, withered but surviving, aged beyond years. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18082 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18080 S #18082 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A huge dragonfly whizzes by your ear, deafening you for a few seconds. It circles and snatches something tiny a few feet behind you. Its wings seem painted, and it seems too big to be real. It hovers for a moment and flies off the way it came. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18083 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18081 S #18083 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ You hear a loud crack as a few trees coming out of the cliff face collapse under the weight of a few large chunks of earth. Large rocks begin falling down the cliff, nearly blocking your path, and when several smaller pieces hit you, they dissolve into fine powder instead of cracking your skull open, the dust effectively blinding you. The world becomes a gray brown. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18082 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18084 S #18084 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The lake's deep blue has shifted into a pale green, allowing you to view some of the life beneath the surface. The amount of life living in these freezing waters is astounding. Large red fish slowly coast around schools of striped violet. Bright green fans sway back and forth with the current, and small black dots flash around them. A few birds dive into the water, the immeasurable source of food never ending. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18083 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18085 S #18085 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The rhythmic ripples of the lake have stopped; the water is now slightly translucent. Every few seconds, a flash of color appears and disappears just as quickly. Birds glide above diving down every few seconds but flying up before reaching the water-the fish not visible enough to catch. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18084 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18086 S #18086 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The sound of a pair of crickets in nearly perfect harmony is unnerving, as it is the only sound you can hear. Two trees on each side of the path sway towards and away from each other, their leaves making no sound though it seems they should. The crickets continue their song. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18087 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18085 S #18087 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Walking by the lake, a small gray fish jumps out of the water several feet and lands with a small splash. It disappears immediately, the only proof of its existance is the new set of circular ripples from where it came and went. A rock falls from the cliff. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18088 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18086 S #18088 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Several bushes block your way growing fiercly with the rich nutrients the lake provides, and there's no real way to go around them. They're low enough to walk through, but they're sharp and seemingly serrated. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18089 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18087 S #18089 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Still walking through the large cluster of bushes, the skin on your legs is getting ripped and torn. The pain is nearly unbearable, and you see no end in sight. The thin serrated leaves are everywhere. ~ 0 268435456 11 Rd 20 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18090 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18088 S #18090 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The path to the south is blocked by a large cluster of bushes-low enough to walk over, but their leaves are sharp and serrated. The lake water looks like its trembling, and several rocks careen off the top of the cliff.

While nearly blinding, its beauty astounds you. Your eyes are filled with bright green, blue and white. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18092 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18090 S #18092 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A swarm of gnats blocks your path, too thick to see through. The buzzing sound moves through every part of your mind, until its nearly impossible to think. They quickly outline the path, and then move together again, seemingly taunting you. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18093 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18091 S #18093 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A swarm of gnats lies to the west, their buzzing rising and lowering in a steady pulse. The sound seems unnatural, far too regular to be part of nature. The path twists again. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18094 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18092 S #18094 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A wing begins to develop through the path. Its starts calmly, but as time passes, it whips your clothes and hair about your body. Waves appear on the surface of the lake, and dust is churned up and into your eyes. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18095 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18093 S #18095 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The wind suddenly stops, and everything is still. A sudden loud shriek echoes off the cliff and halts as fast as it came. Downpath, a pebble rolls towards you, bounces off the path and flies towards you at incredible speeds, flying past you as the front of a huge blast of wind pushes you onto the ground. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18096 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18094 S #18096 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A strange cloud drifts above, shaped like a nearly perfect sphere. Its color is a pale gray, and looks far out of place. It moves swiftly, within the minute disappearing above the cliff. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 E rod~ The rod looks like...YOUR HEAD!! AHHHH!!! ITS YOUR HEAD!! You're STRANGE... ~ E sphere~ In looking closer, you see a small black rod sticking out from the bottom. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18097 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18095 S #18097 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ Thin wisps of clouds coat the sky in pure white. They mingle with the sky perfectly, each cloud beautiful by itself, the whole sky a wondrous picture. There is no wind, and the clouds are perfectly still. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18096 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18098 S #18098 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A quick gust of wind sends a large leaf swirling past you, dragging a thick earthy aroma with it. The trees sway back and forth, dropping seeds and leaves into a small pile on the ground. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18099 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18097 S #18099 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A line of ants marches in front of you, a thin black against the orange mixture of sand and dirt. They come from a small hole near the lake and move towards the cliff face, going into another hole there, and endless stream of black specks. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18100 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18098 S #18100 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ You hear a slow drip down the path. Its perfectly steady, and its source is unclear. The wind has stopped entirely, and several wisps of cloud stay frozen in the sky far above. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18101 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18099 S #18101 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The steady beat is much louder now, and you can see its source, nearly a hundred feet up. A huge tree sticks out of the cliff face, one slender branch going farther out than the others, with a drop of water striking the lake about every second. No other sound can be heard, and the near-silence is mind numbing. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18102 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18100 S #18102 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The world becomes quiet, the wind stopped, the lake still.

Except for a faint dripping sound in the distance, previously unheard. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18103 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18101 S #18103 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A deafening splash causes you to leap in fright. The spray of icy water, and the small beads of cool sweat forming on your neck cause you to shiver. Quickly looking behind you, you see.. Nothing. There is no change in the pattern of ripples on the lake, nothing that could make that big of a splash. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18104 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18102 S #18104 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A dying tree rains down dead leaves in front of you, each delicately spiraling down, one by one. A small pile of them rests near the cliff face, every few seconds getting stirred up by a small gust of wind and then settling yet again. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18105 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18103 S #18105 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A pair of sparrows fly dart pass your head and zig-zag down the path, going around a bend and disappearing. A low rumble from above follows their leaving, strange with the lack of clouds in the sky. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18106 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18104 S #18106 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A huge dragonfly circles your head and flies off across the lake. It's nearly 4 feet long, and gracefully lands on the surface of the water to catch a couple insects. Some rock and dust falls from the cliff, and when you can open your eyes again, the dragonfly is gone. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18107 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18105 S #18107 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A huge shadow drifts over the ground towards you. It quickly turns the bright day into night. Above, a gigantic black cloud floats over the edge of the cliff, changing the whole feeling of the path.

This natural path seems almost man-made. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18111 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18113 S #18113 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ A bright white cloud above drops its shadow on the part of the lake closest to you, and the effect on the water is incredible. Any place on the water the sun touches is opaque, but under this shadow, the water changes from dark blue to a light green, and the life is amazing. A large coral reef rests just a few feet below the surface, as brilliant fish swim in huge schools around it. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18112 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18114 S #18114 A Lakeside Path~ ~ ~ The shadow of the cloud continues here, and the life below the lake does not end.

The sweet smell of the earth infuses you with vigor, the ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18173 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18182 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18193 S #18182 In the Depths of a Forest~ ~ ~ You walk in the dark depths of a forest, only thin shafts of light pierce the dense canopy of leaves above you, illuminating particles of pollen and dust that float on the currents of air that course the entire world without regard to anything but that which opposes them, stopping them from travelling one way, but unable to stop them from travelling period. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18174 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18183 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18194 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18181 S #18183 Under the Heavy Canopy~ ~ ~ You may perhaps realize that there are enough leaves above you, hanging from the many, many trees, that if they all decided to fall at this moment, you would quite easily be buried. Giants and dragons would be less likely to suffer such a fate, but they would most certainly be covered in a spattering of leaves. The weight of which, on a wet day, would be most impressive to say the least. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18175 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18184 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18195 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18182 S #18184 The Woods~ ~ ~ Birds fly from this tree to that tree around you, yet high above you. They seem unconcerned with your presense far below, they figure you to be a creature that is forced to forever walk the ground, and perhaps you are, but such lack of caution has more than once cost the life of an innocent bird, pierced by a barbed arrow that tore its way through it's fragile body. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18176 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18185 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18196 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18183 S #18185 The Forest~ ~ ~ The dark shadow of a mountain can be sighted to the north of where you stand. It looms high, high into the blue sky, becoming a overbearing point in your field of vision, to which your eyes are almost always drawn to without hesitation. Unconsciously, you wish to make sure that it still lies as before, that it hasn't gotten up and moved while you had looked away. But it's a mountain, there is no need to display such fears, so you don't, and simply check up on it once in a while. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18177 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18186 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18197 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18184 S #18186 Within the Woods~ ~ ~ Light plays on the surface of your skin, dancing here and there as the wind shakes the leaves, the spaces through which light travels constantly shifting. Birds fly about, occaisionally causing new shadows to form as they fly above you. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18178 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18187 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18198 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18185 S #18187 Trees all about~ ~ ~ There are numerous different types of trees surrounding you that grow to heights the likes of which you've seldom witnessed. The sweet smell of the earth flows up from beneath you, clear and strong in the fresh air that permeates throughout the forest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18179 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18188 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18199 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18186 S #18188 A simple pool of water~ ~ ~ A small pool of slighty muddy water fills a little hole in the ground here. A couple of small animals scurry away as you approach, not willing to find out too late whether or not you be friend or foe. The water ripples as for some of them, the quickest path is that through the pool. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18180 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18189 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18193 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18187 S #18189 In the cool shade of the trees~ ~ ~ The trees many leaves protect you from the baleful gaze of the sun. Whilst you walk within this forest, seldom shall that great orb in the sky have an oppurnity to touch your skin, to singe and burn it without regard to you. Mind you, who's to say that other dangers don't lurk within these darkened woods. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18190 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18202 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18188 S #18190 The Woods~ ~ ~ There is about you a number or large oak trees, all of which seem to have seen better days. Here and there along the lenght of their trunk you can spot holes that have been bored through the bark into the wood that lies beneath. It would appear that there is a large number of woodpeckers in the area that have taken a liking to this particular area of the woods. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18191 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18203 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18189 S #18191 The Shadow in the Rocks~ ~ ~ A large group of rocks bursts forth from the soft earth. You can tell that they are indeed old. Moss covers almost every square inch of their surface and they have been worn nearly totally smooth, few indeed are the edges that remain jagged and sharp. Rising up into the air, they prevent the growth of trees in this section of the woods, and so you can clearly see the sky above, in which white clouds pass you by. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18997 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18204 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18190 S #18192 A Feast of Sorts~ ~ ~ There lies on the ground a log of unusual diameter, it being nearly as wide as it a grown human tall. Mosses and lichens grow all about it, and you can see thousands of insects walking along its surface, plodding slowing from one place to another, seeking the bounty of nourishment that adorns this dead tree. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18193 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18205 S #18193 A Simple Stream~ ~ ~ A small stream carries with its gentle current little bits of wood, some leaves and little else. However, it does beyond that seem to be fairly clear, you most certainly if you so wished could drink from it without any worry of it doing you damage. The water is actually very pure and clean. Animals along its banks drink from it, raising their heads on occaision, feeling instinctively that you watch them. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18181 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18194 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18206 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18192 S #18194 In the depths of the forest~ ~ ~ As you are in a forest, you find yourself surrounded by trees. Small trees, large trees, stunted trees, dying trees, even trees that resemble people you may have met. Though anyone who resembles a tree is rather odd and I wonder why you might be hanging around with such a person. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18182 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18195 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18207 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18193 S #18195 The Woods~ ~ ~ An odd looking rose bush stands alone here, there isn't another form of vegetation within ten yards around it. You look closely at it, and you can see that it's thorns are tinged a light red, similar to that of blood. You would almost think that perhaps this thing is carnivorous, but it doesn't bother you as you pass it by, though you think just maybe, maybe you did see it move out of the corner of your eye. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18183 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18196 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18208 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18194 S #18196 The Scent of Nature~ ~ ~ Ah, the beautiful smell of flowers and the other pleasant smells of nature has been rudely interrupted by the stench of feces, and an awful lot of it. You see the pile in a little clearing, and you wonder if perhaps a dragon or some other enormous creature had the sudden impulse to relieve him or herself of an unpleasant burden. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18184 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18197 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18209 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18195 S #18197 Animal Dens~ ~ ~ You have come across a couple of small holes that have been burrowed deep into the ground. They must serve as homes for some forest creature, most likely a rabbit, but there are certainly other animals who live in such dens. There is to the north more forest, to which there doesn't seem to be an end, in fact, all directions hold the same destiny from what you can see at the moment. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18185 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18198 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18210 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18196 S #18198 The Cold Embrace of the Earth~ ~ ~ A most unusual sight greets you as you enter this part of the forest. You will likely never see anything quite like this. Before you is a large mound of rock. Encased within the rock, you can see bones protruding.. You recognize the bones as those of a dragon, and from their size, you would be able to safely estimate that it was a large dragon. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18186 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18199 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18211 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18197 S #18199 Deep in the Forest~ ~ ~ You are fairly deep within the forest. You have seen little besides trees for quite some time now. Well, there are the occaisional group of large rocks, or stone formations bursting through the ground, to rise into the canopy of the trees that surround them. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18187 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18201 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18212 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18198 S #18201 In Shadow~ ~ ~ There is actually no actual sunlight penetrating the dense canopy that unfolds above you. The foilage makes sure that the sun doesn't leave your skin brazen and burnt. It's protecting you. Of course, it could also be protecting the low flying dragons that fly above it, searching for a meal. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18188 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18202 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18213 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18199 S #18202 An Aviary~ ~ ~ The number of birds that flit in and about the branches of the trees above you is astonishing. They seem to be infinite in colour and size. The forest is filled with their shrill voices raised in sweet birdsong and in some cases, raucous, horrible, noise. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18189 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18203 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18214 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18201 S #18203 The Forest~ ~ ~ Sap drips from a couple trees around you. It would appear that some animal has been scratching the surface of the bark, and leaving the soft tissue beneath exposed and vulnerable. The tree in response has allowed some of its fluids to seep out and close the wound. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18190 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18204 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18215 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18202 S #18204 A Wooden Grove~ ~ ~ A circle of large, ancient oaks has grown here, the center is relatively bare with the exception of a large rock which would make for a comfortable place to sit for a humonoid type creature, were one wont to do so. But then, such races are impractical, and do things that you would not expect or even find remotely logical. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18191 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18216 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18203 S #18205 Within Mother Nature~ ~ ~ Mother Nature has indeed created a world of splendor and grace. Animals walk about, feeling the cool breeze sweep through their soft fur. Birds float on the currents of air that rustle the leaves on the trees around you. And flowers bloom all over the place, the sweet fragance filling the forest with a pleasant aroma. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18192 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18206 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18232 S #18206 The Woods~ ~ ~ The trees about you climb high into the blue sky, which you really can't see, but you may always assume is still there. The dense foiliage of the trees prevents the sun to pass very far through the leaves. You get nothing but light which has passed through the photoreceptors of the greedy leaves. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18193 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18207 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18233 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18205 S #18207 Within the Woods~ ~ ~ There are about you thousands of trees, making up a large forest in which you've been travelling for a while. A gentle breeze caresses you, cooling the surface of your skin, making sure that the heat doesn't get to you too much. But perhaps it is the heat you seek, for some prefer the boiling sun to the cold and dark depths of a forest. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18194 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18208 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18234 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18206 S #18208 The Forest~ ~ ~ A large mound of earth rises here, at its crest, a large slab of granite breaks through the ground, rising skyward in the hope perhaps of salvation, though what salvation a rock needs is questionable to say the least. From atop the rock, you figure a most beautiful dawn you would be able to behold in the morning, when the suns first rays touch down on this section of the earth. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18195 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18209 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18235 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18207 S #18209 An interesting tree~ ~ ~ There is a tree before you here. You think that perhaps the best adjective that you could use to describe it is...odd. Its basic shape is that of the letter 'Y', and as the branches extend upwards, more and more of these 'Y's form and branch off. But the other thing to note about this rather peculiar tree is the fact that it is for all purposes, mostly two dimensional. The branches don't branch out in all directions, they branch out as if there was only the two dimensions to grow.. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18196 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18210 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18236 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18208 S #18210 A Brisk Wind~ ~ ~ The wind suddenly picks up, and the leaves swirl in a sudden and tiny whirlwind which sweeps past you with great haste, eager to be on its way to someplace. Of course, what concern of it is your where a whirlwind of leaves wants to goto? ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18197 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18211 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18237 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18209 S #18211 A Bee Hive~ ~ ~ You see hanging from a branch an unusually large bee hive. It would appear to have been there a rather long time, and thus far, it has enjoyed peace and quiet, having never been disturbed. Are you brave or perhaps foolish enough to go rouse the bees from their sleep, and bring forth their rage upon you? ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18198 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18212 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18238 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18210 S #18212 A Couple of Pretty Flowers~ ~ ~ A few nice flowers grow on the ground, carefully and away from the path of humans and their type. They grow because that is their nature, they are very pretty, and remind you perhaps of a love who you haven't seen in a long time. Thinking about this person, you wish perhaps you had given, or been given flowers such as these, to be shown, or to show the depth of your affection. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18199 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18213 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18239 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18211 S #18213 The Woods~ ~ ~ A bell chimes in the distance, you think perhaps you are not alone in the woods, but perhaps it is not but a strong memory that has been given a bit of substance, so that others might remember it. A world of magic is a world of unpredictable things, and things of wonder and amazement. The bells could be anything, but you do not hear them anymore, they have faded away, and you can, and in fact never could, really distinguish from which direction the sound emmanated. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18201 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18214 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18240 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18212 S #18214 A Long Log~ ~ ~ A long log lies here, cut down long ago by who knows whom for who knows what purpose. But looking at it, you can see that its purpose has become that of a resting place for travellers who have travelled through this area. The bark on its upper surface is worn from people sitting there, playing in and about its dead branches. Its time in the sun has long since past, and it no longer enjoys life, but others enjoy it in its fallen company. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18202 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18215 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18241 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18213 S #18215 The Protection of a Leaf~ ~ ~ Above you hang hundreds of thousands of leaves, suspended on thousands of branches attached to hundreds of trees. You can see that a leaf does not offer the best of protection to things harmful. Sure they work well enough when it's raining or when it's windy, but let's say acid started to fall from the sky. Would not the acid eat through the leaves and get to the soft tender flesh that sought to hide beneath anyway? Or would they be able to stop a meteor from crashing and crushing those who walked beneath the green canopy? Think about it...and watch your step with much care. Or else. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18203 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18216 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18242 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18214 S #18216 Forest Winds~ ~ ~ You walk within the forest, which is shrouded in semi darkness, the canopy of leaves above you prohibiting most of the suns light from touching down on you. If you would like to see again the light of day, get moving and pray that nothing befalls you along your way. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18204 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18217 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18243 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18215 S #18217 Along the Beach~ ~ ~ To your north, there is a lake. Looking at it though leaves you somewhat dubious as to how safe travel across this body of water is. You can't see across it fully. Why? Because the center is enshrouded in a thick mist which doesn't allow you to see the center. Memory stirs, and you think perhaps you've heard of such a lake, and it's name was Lake Vohan. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18218 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18244 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18216 S #18218 The Shoreline~ ~ ~ The beach laps gently on the shore to the north. The sound is rather soothing. It's constant, soft and very gentle. The mist in the center of the lake hasn't as yet dissappeared. To the south, the forest does of course continue on for as far as you can see. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18219 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18245 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18217 S #18219 Along the Beach~ ~ ~ The shore line is made of a type of white sand, which looks as though it would be soft on bare feet, or running through the fingers of your hand. To the south, the forest continues on for a great distance, the trees swaying gently in a soft breeze. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18220 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18246 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18218 S #18220 Along the Beach~ ~ ~ Waves roll gently towards the white shoreline. They are not violent, merely little waves, no foam or froth to them. Bit of wood float in with them, gathering in piles along the beach. The air carries the scent of the water, a clean and fresh scent. The center of the lake is still indistinguishable, you cannot penetrate the thick mist that resides there. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18221 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18219 S #18221 The Shoreline~ ~ ~ There is about you, a beach to the north, followed by a lake to the east. West of you stretches more beach and shoreline. To your south there is a great forest, filled with many different kinds and ages of trees. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18222 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18220 S #18222 The Shoreline~ ~ ~ Gulls swoop over the water to the north, seeking fish to eat, or whatever it might be that gulls like to eat. They dive and fall through the air, splashing at the water with surprising speed. The south holds other birds, which prefer the trees to the open water. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18223 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18221 S #18223 Along the Beach~ ~ ~ The beach ends here and beyond a few trees you see that a vast meadow begins. Birds swoop low over the water, skimming the surface lightly to find fish that have swam close to the surface, before heading into the meadow to feast. ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18225 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18224 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18222 S #18224 A Meadow~ ~ ~ Grass grows high around you, nearly 3 feet tall. It waves gently in the breeze that sweeps down from the north. In that direction, you can see a lake, which from here seems to be enshrouded in mist. You can also see to the south west, a forest of immense size. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18226 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18223 S #18225 A Meadow~ ~ ~ The beach ends at this point making way for a vast meadow filled with wildflowers. In the distance you can make out a small forest which seems to run zig-zag through the valley, as well as a patch of mist that you cannot see through at this point. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18226 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18223 S #18226 A Meadow~ ~ ~ You continue to walk through the tall grass towards the lake. The grass gently brushes your hands and legs as you pass through and leaves grass seeds behind in your clothing. The mist from the lake does not obscure your vission and so you are left to enjoy the view of the beautiful meadow. East you can make out the shape of the lake, and to the west lies more of the peaceful meadow. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18227 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18224 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18225 S #18227 Near the Lake~ ~ ~ The lake is much larger than you first thought. The mist becomes thicker as you approach and perhaps it is the source of your miscalculation. It greatly obscures your vision of some parts of the lake making it seem smaller from a distance. Just east you can wade into the lake and bathe in the shallow water if you like. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18228 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18226 S #18228 Meadow Lake~ ~ ~ A gentle breeze from the lake cools the tiny droplets of water that cover your face. Walking through the lake mist has made your clothing very slightly damp and moist. You opt to rest shortly and wade into the lake for a few minutes before continuing your travels. You find it to be a very refreshing and invigorating experience. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18229 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18227 S #18229 Near the Lake~ ~ ~ Just west lies a meadow lake from which a mist drifts ever so slowly along. You walk through the meadow so far has been very pleasant and eventless. Wildflowers grow in abundance and are slightly wet with dew. To the east the meadow continues. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18231 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18230 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18228 S #18230 In the Meadow~ ~ ~ As you travel through the meadow you find that there are plenty of natural provisions provided for you. Berry bushes and edible plants grow all over the fields and not far to the west is a lake where you may refresh yourself with water. Not far to the east you can see a forest. ~ 0 0 2 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18172 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18229 S #18231 Between Wood and Meadow~ ~ ~ Just north lies a vast forest known as Vespen Wood. From here you can smell a sweet smell that seems to come from the direction of the woods. You wonder what you might find if you explore the woods or what dangers might lie ahead. ~ 0 4 2 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17704 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18229 S #18232 The Forest Dark~ ~ ~ You have wandered from the beautiful meadows into a dark and foreboding forrest. You notice that something is not quite right with the forest, as you hear nothing but the sound of your feet crushing old leaves and branches beneath you. Where have all the animals gone? ~ 0 0 3 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18205 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18233 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18247 S #18233 The Forest Dark~ ~ ~ You are wandering through a dark forest. Your footsteps are all that you hear. There is a large rock here, with odd writing on it.

0 0 18650 S #18650 Mountain Path~ ~ ~ The small path comes to a halt at the base of a steep cliff. Small pebbles rain down from high above every few minutes. There are some larger rocks sticking out from the mountain. These rocks give just enough hold to climb on. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18651 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 18649 S #18651 Mountain Path~ ~ ~ A small path through the mountain continues its way to the north and south.

Even the path is really smooth and allows no trouble with travel. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18650 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18652 S #18652 Mountain Path~ ~ ~ The mountain path takes a drastic turn to the north and east. A large boulder has falleen down the mountain side stopping here. As one looks up at the mountain, it is impossible to see the top. You wonder how far this rock must have fallen. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18651 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18653 S #18653 Mountain Path~ ~ ~ The path through the mountain sweeps off to the west and south. The path starts to become steeper as you make your way. A couple rocks tumble down the mountain into a pile slightly off the path. The mountain seems to be devoid of all life at this particular spot. ~ 0 0 5 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18291 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18652 S #18654 Continuing Along the Forest Path~ ~ ~ You follow the path eastward. It still consists of flat, hard-packed dirt with few stones or ridges which you are thankful for.

Hunting trophies line the walls, while a giant fireplace provides warmth and light, filling the air with smoke. The Black Boar seems to be popular with the hunters and farmers who live in the surrounding area, as well as the occasional traveller, and you feel strangely comfortable in the bucolic surroundings. The only visible exit is to the south, through the door you entered from. ~ 0 393224 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17365 S #18901 The Horn and Pheasant~ ~ ~ You have entered the large common room of the legendary tavern, the Horn and Pheasant. The room is packed with patrons, mostly travellers and local farmers, and the smell of sizzling beef wafts in from the kitchen to the west. A small staircase leads upstairs, while to the east is a door leading to the stables. ~ 0 393230 0 Rd 0 S #18904 Inside the Small Inn~ ~ ~ This small inn doesn't seem to get many visitors. Constructed of aged wooden planks caulked with tar, there are only a few patrons in here. The wind batters vainly at a small glass window, and a cheery fire burns in the hearth. A small stairway behind the bar leads up to the second floor, but the sleeping innkeeper blocks the way. ~ 0 393226 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17422 S #18905 The Sleeping Room~ ~ ~ This room takes up all of the inn's second floor, and contains several wooden cots lined against the wall. Some are already occupied, but there are a few free. Strangely enough you suddenly feel extremely tired, and the cots don't look too uncomfortable... ~ 0 262154 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18904 S #18907 Inside the Old Inn~ ~ ~ You have entered an old inn built against the forest path. At the moment the inn is not particularly busy; only a few travellers sit at the tables, nursing their drinks, while an old farmer sits before the fire, silently musing. You feel at peace here, and think that maybe you should stop your journey for a bit to relax and refresh yourself. ~ 0 393226 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18380 S #18908 Inside the Cottage~ ~ ~ This small cottage seems to be neatly kept. Rustic wooden furniture lies about, and a colorful tapestry depicting a court scene hangs on the wall. You can exit through a door to the west. ~ 0 12 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17252 S #18909 A Workshop~ ~ ~ You have entered a large workshop, filled with woodworking tools and pieces of wood. The smell of sawdust fills the air, and unfinished musical instruments are scattered about. ~ 0 393226 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18519 S #18910 Inside the Hut~ ~ u5_johne~ This tiny hut is crammed full of fishing tackle and boating equipment. Dried nets hang from the walls, while a tiny fire releases smoke that escapes through a hole in the ceiling. The smell of fish is very strong here. ~ 0 131080 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17316 S #18912 Inside an Abandoned Cabin~ ~ ~ This cabin seems to have been abandoned years ago. Despite it's lack of care it seems to be in reasonably good shape. And at least it lets you get out of the snow, though it isn't any warmer inside here, making you eye the fireplace speculatively. Perhaps you should start a fire. ~ 0 12 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18505 S #18913 Inside a Hut~ ~ ~ You have entered a dim hut constructed of rotting wood and filled with smoke and the odor of strange herbs. The only furniture is a table made from a wooden plank, and a sleeping pallet constructed from dried swamp grass. Not the loveliest of surroundings, but they seem to fit the hut's inhabitant just fine... ~ 0 393224 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 17262 S #18914 The Lumberjack's Hut~ ~ ~ You have entered a large hut, filled to overflowing with pieces of wood of various size and quality. Rusty sawblades are hung on hooks on the wall, and the sole pieces of furniture are a huge wooden worktable and a sleeping pallet. To the east is a doorway leading outside. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18606 S #18915 The Woodpile~ ~ ~ You are surrounded by piles of logs, stacked precariously upon each other. Several of the logs have strange scratch marks on them. And where is that squeaking coming from... ~ 0 4 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18916 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18614 S #18916 The Woodpile~ ~ ~ The squeaking sound is getting louder, and you hear the sound of someone-- or something--scuttling around the piles. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18915 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18917 S #18917 The Woodpile~ ~ ~ Gleaming red eyes are staring at you from every side, and the squeaking sound has increased in volume. Piles of wood lie about, some of it looking quite valuable. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18918 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18916 S #18918 The Woodpile~ ~ ~ Your way is blocked by huge piles of wood in every direction save south. The squeaking echos around you, and you detect a note of anger in it. Perhaps you should leave... ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18917 S #18919 Inside the Owl and Egret~ ~ ~ This large common room is sparsely populated; apparently these lands are not well-travelled. A roaring fire provides a cheerful counterpoint to the damp cold outside. The few patrons are quietly tending to their mugs of ale as they stare into the fire. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17561 S #18920 In the Lodge~ ~ ~ While the wind shrieks outside in arctic fury, in here it's quite warm and comfortable. A huge, roaring fire is set in the brick hearth on the eastern wall, and around it are wooden chairs. Most of them seem to be occupied by the hunters and trappers who move through the forest, as well as an occasional traveller stopping for the night. The lodge continues to the south, while a wooden stairway leads up. ~ 0 2130952 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18921 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 18922 S #18921 In the Lodge~ ~ ~ This section of the room is darker and quieter. A huge pot of something savory sits on a cookfire, and a few tables have been set up so guests can eat. Ancient hunting traps line the walls, and an enormous stuffed boar head glares out at you from a wooden plaque. ~ 0 2098184 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18920 S #18922 The Common Room~ ~ ~ The top floor of the inn is taken up mostly by a large common room. Bunks line the walls, some of them filled with sleeping occupants. To the south is a large wooden door leading to what must be a private room, while the worn set of stairs leads down to the first floor. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 18923 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18920 S #18923 A Private Room~ ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18922 S #18924 Inside the Hut~ ~ ~ This small hut is surprisingly snug and warm. Countless fishing implements have been hung about, and a small fire flickers in a stone hearth. You wonder where the occupant is. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 18570 S #18925 In the Lodge~ ~ ~ The huge main room of the lodge is filled with hunters, trappers and traders conducting their business. You're disreputable-looking enough not to attract attention, fortunately. ~ 0 2098176 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 18585 S #18926 The Tavern's Common-Room~ ~ ~ What a cozy place! This small tavern seems to be quite popular with the local farmers and the odd traveller or two. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18369 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 18930 S #18927 In the Water~ ~ ~ This is totally your fault you know. Attacking an innocent hobbit like that. You brute. You now are under the icy water; you'd better think of how to get out of here, fast. ~ 0 131078 8 Rd 0 S #18928 Aboard the Merchantman~ ~ ~ You stand on the deck of a merchantman. The deck seems to be cleared of sailors; perhaps they're all carousing in the grogshop next to the dock. The hatches are battened down, and the door to belowdecks locked tight. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18038 S #18929 A Grogshop~ ~ ~ This grogshop is filled with sailors making merry before they have to set sail again. Huge casks of rum are arranged behind the bar, and the proprietor is busy passing out cups of the sweet liquid. ~ 0 2098176 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 18035 S #18930 The Common Room~ ~ ~ This large room takes up the entire second floor of the tavern. A row of bunkbeds lies against one wall, with heavy curtains partitioning them off from each other, providing some privacy. A few of the beds are occupied, and the faint sound of snoring drifts through the room. ~ 0 295936 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18926 S #18931 In the Bottom Bunk~ ~ ~ The mattress is surprisingly comfortable, and you feel an urge to lay down and rest for a while... ~ 0 34312 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18930 S #18932 An Ancient Tower~ ~ ~ You have entered an ancient stone tower deep within the woods. A stone staircase spirals upwards into the gloom, and the walls are thick with cobwebs. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17585 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 18933 S #18933 The Stone Steps~ ~ ~ The steps continue up and down through the gloom. Light streams in through ancient, paneless windows. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 18934 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18932 S #18934 The Top of the Tower~ ~ ~ You have reached a chamber at the top of the ancient tower. It appears as if this place has been uninhabited for many a year; cobwebs and dust cover every surface, and a nest in the stone rafters indicates that birds have taken up residence here. Empty stone shelves lay about, smashed and cracked, and the remains of a huge stone table stand in the center of the chamber; perhaps this was some spellcaster's laboratory. In one corner is an ancient brass mirror, too heavy to be carried off by looters. The glass shimmers strangely in the dim light. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 18933 S #18935 Inside the Outpost~ ~ ~ This small building houses a small team of Methidoral's guards, stationed here to protect wayfarers and pilgrims. The room is small and neat, with bunks for those who are off-duty. To the east a doorway leads back outside. ~ 0 8 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17239 S #18936 Inside the Outpost~ ~ ~ This large stone structure has been built to guard travellers moving through the desert pass.
