Scanning about, you see that every direction appears to be exactly the same as all the other directions. The wide paths are cast in perpetual shadow as thorn bushes tower above, as far as the eye can see. The razor-sharp thorns are coated in a deadly venom and you can see that to touch them even slightly would be fatal, making passage through them virtually impossible.

Scanning about, you see that every direction appears to be exactly the same as all the other directions. The wide paths are cast in perpetual shadow as thorn bushes tower above, as far as the eye can see. The razor-sharp thorns are coated in a deadly venom and you can see that to touch them even slightly would be fatal, making passage through them virtually impossible. ~ 0 0 2 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17968 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17977 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17988 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17979 S #17979 A Four-Way Junction~ You stare about you in dismay, you feel like you are standing in the exact place you just left. Everything looks exactly the same. Wondering how this could be, you scan about hoping to see something that distinguishes itself from everything else. Nothing pops out at you and you begin to wonder if you will ever find the exit or, a more likely possibility, be lost in here forever. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17989 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17970 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17969 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17978 S #17980 A Four-Way Junction~ Completely enshrouding the carpeted pathways, a dark, swirling mist hovers just above the ground here. You step carefully into it and shudder as it engulfs your lower body. It wraps around you, caressing your body with its darkness. You can't quite be sure, but it almost feels alive. You hurry through it, not quite caring which direction you go, just anywhere away from it, even if that means becoming more lost. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17990 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17981 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17970 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17989 S #17981 A Four-Way Junction~ Lost and without hope of finding your way out, you stand in the middle of the intersection trying to figure out which way you should go next. You face north, east, south, then west, scratching your head in utter bewilderment. You step toward the north, then change your mind and start heading south. You stop again and mutter irritably to yourself.

Upon closer inspection you notice that it is full of crisp, cool rainwater. A silver dipper is hooked to the rim for any who wish to take a drink. You wonder what divine hand reached down and put this generous reprieve in such an unfriendly place. ~ 0 0 2 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17983 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17994 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17974 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17985 S #17985 A Four-Way Junction~ All about, the sounds of laugther and talk can be heard. This is quite surprising as the thorn bushes are extremely dense and should be blocking the surrounding sounds. You look about to see where the sounds are coming from and see an occasional scuff mark marring the lawn covered path. Aside from these few marks, the grass is perfectly tended by someone who obviously takes great pride in his work. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17995 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17986 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17975 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17984 S #17986 A Four-Way Junction~ You are taken by surprise when you notice and exquisitely sculpted flower nestled amonst the poisonous thorns. The petals range in colors from the deepest purples to the palest yellows. You wonder how such a flower could grow in such a deadly place. Then you take a second look at it. Maybe, at long last, you have found something to help you figure out where you are. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17996 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17987 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17976 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17985 S #17987 A Four-Way Junction~ You begin to feel dizzy as you look about. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same. You begin to wonder if you are going crazy. You consider asking for directions, but no one looks very friendly. Everyone is too busy doing other things to give you the time of day, let alone tell you how to leave seemingly exitless maze. You wonder which direction you should go next, of if you should even bother to continue on. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17997 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17977 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17988 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17986 S #17988 A Four-Way Junction~ Clustered in a tight circle near the edge of the thorn bushes, similar to a faerie ring, grows a patch of brilliantly colored blue mushrooms. Dotted in lighter colored blue spots, they look very tempting. You consider tasting one, but wonder if they too, like the thorns they grow near, are poisonous, especially as they seem so out of place in this perfectly manicured labyrinth. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17998 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17989 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17978 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17987 S #17989 A Four-Way Junction~ An unnatural green light shines down over the hedges, casting grotesque shadows along the pathway. You look about trying to see where it is coming from, but like everything else in this maze, you can't find anything. You glance more closely at the shadows and notice that the thorns create the appearance of rows of razor-sharp teeth readying to tear your flesh to pieces. Although you know this is an illusion, you hurry onward. ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 17999 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 17980 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 17979 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 17988 S #17990 The Cell~ The Commander's favorite place, this cell is used for any foolish enough to cross his path. Completely austure, not even a chair graces the room. The walls, floor and ceiling are painted the dullest of greys, and the doors, facing south, east and west have no latch of any kind. Although they stand open when not in use, for any who wish to pass through, they work on a spring, timing mechanism when the Commander has locked someone in. If he had to let them out himself, they would find themselves rotting in there permanently. ~ 0 8204 0 D2 ~ ~ 4 17915 17980 S #17991 A Four-Way Junction~ You begin to feel dizzy as you look about.
