This is a vast desolate place where the wind can howl undisturbed since nothing but you bars its way. However you are not the first to wander here. Before you somebody has left a small path. The path looks rather bewildered and is not the kind of path to lead to anywhere significant or important but it seems to have made up its mind to enter the hills far away north. ~ 0 0 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 4000 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 3501 S #3501 The Lane~ You are strolling along a pleasant, shady lane.

The road leads east into the peace and quiet - and dangers - of the forest; and to the west it becomes the main street of the town; surrounded by a confusion of shops, bars, and market places.

A path leads south, but the passage to the east is easy enough. To the west, smoke can be seen rising above the treetops. The sprawl of Midgaard lies north of here. ~ 0 0 3 D0 To the north, you see the bridge to Midgaard. ~ ~ 0 0 3504 D1 More light forest. ~ ~ 0 0 3506 D2 This path cuts through the darkness of the Miden'nir. ~ ~ 0 0 3507 D3 The Woodsman's Inn. ~ ~ 0 0 3570 S #3506 The Miden'nir~ You are in a dark forest.

Mountains slash the scenery to the west of here. ~ 0 0 3 D1 Wind-swept forest. ~ ~ 0 0 3507 D2 To the south, the trail continues. ~ ~ 0 0 3511 S #3509 The Miden'nir~ The trees of Miden'nir are lush and green, hiding the evil that lurks in these woods. The trees become too thick to the west, but you may go north, south or travel toward the mountains that lie east of here. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The trees lighten up a bit this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3506 D1 Huge grey mountains lie in this direction. ~ ~ 0 0 3512 D2 The forest continues. ~ ~ 0 0 3514 S #3510 A Crossroads~ Here footworn paths meet leading north, south and east. The trees seem to be closing in on you at this point, and you can barely see the sky through the thick branches above your head. ~ 0 0 3 D0 Trees as far as the eye can see. ~ ~ 0 0 3507 D1 There is an especially dark part of the forest this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3514 D2 There is an especially dark section of forest this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3516 S #3511 The Trail~ You are on a north-south trail through the woods. To the west, impassable mountains glare at you, and the thick woods and undergrowth prevent any movement westward. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The trail bends to the north. ~ ~ 0 0 3508 D2 To the south, the path re-enters the forest. ~ ~ 0 0 3515 S #3512 The Miden'nir~ The trees of Miden'nir are lush and green, hiding the evil that lurks in these woods. You can go north toward the mountains, or west to the forest, but the steep mountains prevent any movement east. ~ 0 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 3550 D2 A light section of forest. ~ ~ 0 0 3513 D3 The forest continues here. ~ ~ 0 0 3509 S #3513 The Miden'nir~ The forest is dark, and becomes even darker west. You sense that there is something evil hidden in these woods. The forest gets lighter to the north.

Your boots make a disgusting SQUISH as you walk here. You can go in any of the four cardinal directions from here. Hopefully, it will be dryer. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The Miden'nir continues. ~ ~ 0 0 3510 D1 More trees. ~ ~ 0 0 3517 D2 The trees get VERY thick to the south. You can barely see... ~ ~ 0 0 3519 D3 Some light trees and daylight. ~ ~ 0 0 3515 S #3517 Near the Mountains~ The most prominent feature here is the mountains that lie to the east. You can only go north and west from here as the rocks stop all other movement. ~ 0 0 3 D0 Many trees to the north. ~ ~ 0 0 3514 D3 There is a bit of a slope downward to the west. ~ ~ 0 0 3516 S #3518 The Fading Trail~ The trail becomes nearly unpassable here. You can go north as the forest is relatively light. To the south, you can see a path. ~ 0 0 3 D0 You can see a trail this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3515 D2 Dark forests. ~ ~ 0 0 3522 S #3519 The Dark Path~ You are hemmed in by trees on either side of you. The path continues north and south, and while is much to thick to explore west, you can head off into the woods to the west. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The forest gets lighter this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3516 D1 The forest continues. ~ ~ 0 0 3520 D2 There is a strong stench coming from this direction. ~ ~ 0 0 3521 S #3520 The Dark Forest~ You stomp your way through the underbrush. The dark forest of Miden'nir get pretty thick here, and the branches high above your head are so thick that they block out all direct sunlight.

Blood is everywhere... on the trees and soaked into the ground. Two carcasses lie in front of you, seeming to look up at you. The forest is impassible to the south, but the other directions look ok. ~ 0 1 3 E carcass body corpse carcasses bodies corpses~ The corpses looked as if they have been pierced by a large, jagged spear. The damage these people sustained is simply amazing. Worse, the lips on the bodies are a light shade of blue, hinting at poison in their systems. ~ D0 Darkness... ~ ~ 0 0 3519 D1 Your light does not extend that far. ~ ~ 0 0 3523 D3 More dark forest. ~ ~ 0 0 3522 S #3522 Deep in the Forest of Miden'nir~ There is a sickening stench here. It smells of blood and death. To the north, you catch glimpses of daylight. To the east, you simply cannot see. The trees are close and stifling. ~ 0 0 3 D0 You see daylight and a trail to follow. ~ ~ 0 0 3518 D1 The stench seems to becoming from this direction. ~ ~ 0 0 3521 S #3523 The Dark Forest~ The branches above you block out all direct sunlight, making the forest in this area rather dark. The forest continues east, where it meets the mountains.

The forest continues west, but mountains block further exploration in all other directions, except south, where you notice a small tunnel dug into the mountainside. ~ 0 1 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 3552 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 3523 S #3552 A Tunnel in the Mountains~ The walls of this tunnel were carved out many years ago by the goblins of this forest. The floor is well worn, and continues south, into the mountain, or back north out into the forest. ~ 0 1 1 D0 Outside, you see the forest of Miden'nir. ~ ~ 0 -1 3551 D2 The tunnel continues to the south. ~ ~ 0 -1 3553 S #3553 A Tunnel in the Mountains~ The tunnel gets lighter to the north, presumably leading out, while to the south the passage gets smaller and smaller. A small alcove has been carved into the east wall. ~ 0 1 1 D0 The tunnel gets wider in this direction. ~ ~ 0 -1 3552 D1 You see a small alcove. ~ ~ 0 -1 3554 D2 The tunnel gets smaller in this direction. ~ ~ 0 -1 3555 S #3554 A Small Alcove~ A small alcove has been carved out here. There are a bunch of twigs and leaves thrown into a pile here, probably serving as a bed. ~ 0 1 1 E twigs leaves bead~ The twigs and leaves have all been piled together as a makeshift bed for some small humanoid. ~ D3 You see the main passageway. ~ ~ 0 -1 3553 S #3555 A Tunnel in the Mountains~ As you explore further into the mountainside, the tunnel gets smaller and smaller to the south. You almost have to hunch over to make your way thru this area. A small archway to the south leads into a large chamber. ~ 0 1 1 D0 The tunnel continues north. ~ ~ 0 -1 3553 D2 You see a small cavern. ~ ~ 0 -1 3556 S #3556 The Goblin Headquarters~ The tunnel widens into a large (well, large for goblins) cavern that serves as the living quarters for the goblins of Miden'nir. The bones of numbers woodland creatures are strewn about the room, the remanents of a recent meal. ~ 0 1 1 D0 The tunnel heads north. ~ ~ 0 -1 3555 S #3570 The Front of the Inn~ You are standing on a well-worn path which opens into a clearing. An old, wooden building is here with smoke billowing from its chimney. A painted sign is visible on the porch to the west. You could go north or south around the building or leave this place and return to the forest. ~ 0 0 3 E sign~ The sign reads: The Woodsman ~ E credits credit author~ +-------------------------------------------------+ | This zone originally written for Copper II DIKU | | by ? | | Modification and alterations for MERCmud DIKU | | by VampLestat 1 JAN 93 | +-------------------------------------------------+ ~ D0 You can go north around the inn. ~ ~ 0 0 3571 D1 Back through the trees to the Miden'nir. ~ ~ 0 0 3505 D2 You can go south around the inn. ~ ~ 0 0 3572 D3 The front door of the inn beckons. ~ ~ 0 0 3574 S #3571 North of the Inn~ You are standing north of the inn. Things don't look much different from this angle. The air here is filled with smells of smoke and cooking. South, the front porch is waiting for you... or you can see if there is a back door. ~ 0 0 3 D2 You see the front of the Inn. ~ ~ 0 -1 3570 S #3572 South of the Inn~ You are standing south of the inn. You could easily go north and enter through the front door, or west and to the rear of the establishment. You here some muffled cries from a tiny trail leading south of here. ~ 0 0 3 D0 This way leads to the front of the inn. ~ ~ 0 0 3570 D2 The trail heads south. ~ ~ 0 0 3575 D3 This way leads to the back of the inn. ~ ~ 0 0 3573 S #3573 Behind the Inn~ You now stand behind the inn. The smell here is not so pleasant as the keeper and his help throw a good deal of garbage here. A couple of piles of rubbish are to the west, but you will smell the worse for meddling there. As a clean alternative, you can go north or east around the inn. ~ 0 0 3 D1 You can go around the inn this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3572 D3 Only rats and fool adventurers play in garbage. ~ ~ 0 0 3578 S #3574 The Woodsman Inn~ You are in the common room of the Woodsman Inn. A thin haze of smoke sits in the air here. The Inn is often empty, as the forest has become overrun by goblins as of late, and it is no longer safe in these parts. The bar is just north of here. If you'd rather have your own table, one is empty to the south. ~ 0 12 1 D0 The bar is here, manned by the innkeeper. ~ ~ 0 0 3576 D1 You can leave now and return to fresher air. ~ ~ 0 0 3570 D2 An empty table is a rare commodity. ~ ~ 0 0 3579 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 3577 S #3575 The Ambush Point~ This is a overgrown foot-trail south of the inn. It leads west, but you would be hard pressed to follow it far. A number of bushes are trampled on and some medium sized branches have been knocked down. Obviously there has been a battle here rather recently. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The inn lies to the north. ~ ~ 0 0 3572 D3 A trail thru the woods. ~ ~ 0 0 3581 S #3576 The Bar~ This is where people use to come and enjoy the food, drink and hospitality of the innkeeper, but as of late, he only serves the few adventurers that manage to survive a trip thru the forest. You can leave south and return to the common room. ~ 0 0 1 D2 You may retreat south back to the common room. ~ ~ 0 0 3574 S #3577 The Bard's Table~ You are in a darker corner in the Inn. A large round table with a few wooden chairs sits here. There is a large stain on the table, the remnants of a spilled drink. ~ 0 8 1 D1 You see the main floor of the Inn to the east. ~ ~ 0 0 3574 S #3578 Garbage dump~ You stand knee deep in garbage. YECCH!!! It smells terrible and who knows what vermin live in these piles of filth ... ~ 0 0 3 D1 You can return to cleaner lands this way. ~ ~ 0 0 3573 S #3579 A Quieter Section of the Inn~ There seems to be no one in this end of the Woodsman, probably a safe place to rest and lick your wounds ... ~ 0 8 0 D0 You see the common room. ~ ~ 0 0 3574 S #3581 On the Trail of the Horsemen~ The path continues east and west of here. You notice fresh tracks in the soft ground that show the horsemen fled to the west. ~ 0 0 3 D1 Back to ambush point. ~ ~ 0 0 3575 D3 The trail continues. ~ ~ 0 -1 3582 S #3582 On the Trail of the Horsemen~ The path continues east and south. You notice fresh tracks in the soft ground that show the horsemen turned, and fled south. ~ 0 0 3 D1 The trail continues. ~ ~ 0 0 3581 D2 The tracks lead south. ~ ~ 0 -1 3583 S #3583 On the Trail of the Horsemen~ The trail of the horsemen continues east and north along this path through the forest. The tracks are still fresh, so they must be near. ~ 0 0 3 D0 The trail continues. ~ ~ 0 -1 3582 D3 The tracks lead east. ~ ~ 0 -1 3584 S #3584 A Dead End Trail~ The path comes to an abrupt end here, as the trees close around you and make any further exploration impossible. Fresh tracks cover the ground, and end right here. The horsemen must be nearby. ~ 0 0 3 D1 Back to along the trail. ~ ~ 0 0 3583 S #0 #SPECIALS M 3500 spec_poison Load to: the wyvern S #RESETS M 0 3500 2 3521 M 0 3500 2 3521 M 0 3501 8 3512 M 0 3501 8 3512 M 0 3501 8 3509 M 0 3501 8 3506 M 0 3501 8 3513 M 0 3501 8 3556 M 0 3506 4 3551 M 0 3506 4 3556 M 0 3507 1 3556 M 0 3502 1 3575 M 0 3503 1 3576 M 0 3504 1 3577 M 0 3505 4 3584 M 0 3505 4 3584 S #SHOPS 0 #$
