Nearly one hundred feet high and half as wide, the massive green cactus towers over the desert, a splash of color in a barren land. Nestled between the man-sized spines of the huge plant, lovely flowers bloom in a splendor of crimson. A gaping archway has been cut in the base of the cactus, allowing easy exit and entrance. ~ ~ 301465601 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68502 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68500 10 10 5 E cactus~ This immense specimen of desert flora stands straight and tall. Two arm-like limbs protrude from the main body stalk. The left limb is turned up, while the right limb is turned down. Crimson flowers cover the upper regions of the cactus. ~ E archway entrance north~ A symmetrical opening has been expertly cut out of the giant cactus. Obviously an old cut, the green flesh of the cactus has had time to heal and a thick skin has grown over the sliced portions. ~ -1 S #68502 Within the Giant Cactus~ You stand inside a huge green chamber. A transluscent amber material creates the floor for the chamber above, as well as the ceiling of this chamber. The walls of this wide room are the verdant green of the cactus' inner flesh. Sticky beads of moisture run down the green walls, collecting in dewy puddles on the floor of the chamber. In the middle of the room is a large, round pole about four feet in diameter. The smooth, polished pole runs up through a wide hole in the amber ceiling. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68501 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E walls~ The inner flesh of the huge cactus is a deep green and beads of sticky moisture continually run down to collect in puddles on the floor of the chamber. ~ E up amber ceiling~ The thick sheet of amber material that hangs overhead is clear enough to see through. Marks the size of a gnome's foot appear as black dots on the other side of the amber. A large pole runs up through a wide hole in the amber. ~ E hole pole~ The pole runs upward as far as the eye can see. There is room all around the pole, plenty of space for someone to climb up the pole and through the hole. ~ E puddle~ A thick, viscous golden liquid lies in a puddle on the floor. ~ 819 17 1509949540 -2 21 -1 S #68503 Giant Cactus - A Central Chamber~ You stand on a sheet of amber material that is covered with a layer of sticky liquid. Tracks dot the surface of the transluscent material, though the viscous layer of a honey-like substance makes the source of those tracks impossible to determine. The brilliant green walls of the are wide and the chamber has exits to all four directions. A pole of a polished dark substance runs through the center of the floor and continues up through the amber ceiling. ~ amber is a honey-like substance that hardens, secreted from the ants. look pole ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68507 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68506 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68504 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68505 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68502 10 10 5 -1 S #68504 Giant Cactus - A Tiny Side Chamber~ The walls of this small chamber are full of empty holes. Quite obviously dug recently out of the cactus' flesh, the holes are a brilliant green color which is at odds with the duller green of the rest of the chamber. A few scraps of cactus flesh are scattered about the floor, though most of it seems to have been cleared away. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E flesh~ A few scraps of cactus flesh lay here, verdant green and juicy. ~ -1 S #68505 Giant Cactus - A Tiny Side Chamber~ Small indentations are scratched into the walls of this chamber. Set apart at intervals of about two feet, the circular indentations are quite obviously part of a deliberate pattern. Tiny scraps of cactus flesh have fallen to the floor as they were gouged out of the walls. The marks in the walls are a bright green which contrasts against the dull green of the walls. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E indentations~ Each indentation is about two inches in diameter. The bright green color is the hue of recently gouged cactus flesh. ~ -1 S #68506 Giant Cactus - A Tiny Side Chamber~ This small green chamber appears to be a storage area for a syrupy golden liquid. A myriad of holes have been dug out of the wall and filled in with golden liquid. A hard amber material caps off the holes, keeping the syrup safely inside. All along the floor are the tracks of what looks like some large insect. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E floor tracks~ The small slash-like tracks appear to be those of a massive ant. ~ -1 S #68507 Giant Cactus - A Tiny Side Chamber~ The walls of this tiny side-chamber are riddled with holes. Each hole is filled with a golden liquid, and capped with a hard, transluscent material of the same color. Tiny beads of the golden liquid run every so slowly down the walls of the cactus as they overflow the confines of their holes. The green walls of the chamber are marred by scratches all around the holes. A few half-dug holes dot the western wall. ~ honey in the holes. ~ 301465605 0 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E west~ The beginnings of new holes have been scratched out of the wall here. Only a few inches deep at the moment, the holes seem to be half finished. ~ E holes wall~ Each hole is about a foot in diameter and it is impossible to see how deep they extend into the cactus. A viscous golden liquid is held in each hole. ~ 2918 17 1509949540 -2 21 -1 S #68508 Giant Cactus - A Central Chamber~ Standing on a sheet of transluscent amber material, you can look down through the floor and see a blurry image of the floor beneath you. A pole of polished dark amber runs up through the floor, continuing on through the ceiling to provide passage higher into the cactus. Four chambers have been cut out of the green walls of the cactus. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68511 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68509 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68512 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68510 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68503 10 10 5 E pole~ This wide rod seems to be of the same material as the amber floor, though it lacks the sticky layer of syrup that coats the floor, giving it a darker cast. ~ E down~ You can see the next level down through the transluscent amber floor. ~ -1 S #68509 Giant Cactus - A Tiny Side Chamber~ Green surrounds you as you step into this small side chamber. The little room is no more than twelve feet across and appears to have no designated use. Pale green liquid sweats from the wall to run in little beads down to the floor of the chamber. The eastern wall is slashed and torn as though something has been digging at it. ~ trapped wasp ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 E east wall~ The wall has bears enormous scratches and gouges, as though something were trying to claw its way out. ~ 2071 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #68510 Giant Cactus - A Chamber of Red Petals~ The fleshy green inside of the cactus has been hollowed out to form a small side chamber. The walls glisten with sticky juice, secreted from the living cactus. Covered in crimson, the floor is strewn with lovely red petals that are almost as large as a gnome. The almost sickly-sweet smell of the petals permeates the area. ~ these petals are from the blossoms outside the cactus petal acode ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 E petals floor~ The petals are a deep, brilliant crimson color which almost seems to glow. They are seemingly strewn in a random order, though they are stacked five high throughout. ~ A ~ ~ ~ ! 0 0 0 -1 S #68511 Giant Cactus - A Storage Chamber~ The chamber here seems to be used for storing various objects. A jumble of items lie around the room, each coated liberally with a syrupy golden liquid. The verdant walls of the chamber drip with a pale green liquid which slowly runs down to puddle on the floor among the clutter of objects. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 E pile~ Many items lie here, covered so thoroughly in honey that it would be impossible to extract most of them. ~ -1 S #68512 Giant Cactus - A Pool of Liquid~ The green walls of this chamber run with a pale liquid. The room is humid and a sickly sweet smell permeates the area. A section of the floor has been hollowed out to create a depression in the middle of the room. A puddle of pale green liquid has accumulated in the depression. Ripples spread out from the center of the pool as the cactus juice drips down into the puddle. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 E pool puddle~ This shallow pool in the center of the room is about five feet wide. It is filled with a pale green liquid. ~ 1388 17 1509949540 -2 41 -1 S #68513 Giant Cactus - A Central Chamber~ A pole of a dark, polished, amber-like substance runs vertically through the center of the room. The transluscent, deep-yellow floor of the chamber has a wide hole in the center to allow the pole to run through it. The floor is anchored into the brilliant green flesh of the cactus. Hewn out of the giant plant, four small, rounded archways form the entrances to four seperate chambers. ~ the rooms in this level are a little blah. I lost my inspiration after north, cuz I couldnt think of a way to make little larvas exciting :P Any suggestions would be helpful. ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68515 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68516 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68514 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68517 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68508 10 10 5 E pole~ This thick, polished pole of a dark yellowish substance appears to be the same material as that of the floor through which it runs. Continuing up and down through the cactus, it looks like this pole would be easy to climb. ~ -1 S #68514 Giant Cactus~ The floor of this chamber is littered with orderly piles of opaque amber-colored eggs. Set in stacks of five eggs per pile, each stack is set at an orderly interval about three paces of a small gnome apart. The green walls and floor are coated with a thin film of a transluscent amber material which seems to be secreted from the walls. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 E eggs piles stacks~ Each of these eggs is a globe about one foot in diameter and is an opaque amber color. The outer shell is leathery and rather yielding, easy to for soft larva to break out of. The eggs are set in orderly piles. ~ -1 S #68515 Giant Cactus - Ruined Chamber~ This section of the cactus has been torn apart by some large entity. Large gouges and scrapes in the green walls of the cactus were obviously made by something trying to get in. The northern wall is almost completely gone and the larvae which were housed in it appear to have become the tasty meal of a large predator. A few small larvae lie on the floor, obviously dead. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 E larvae floor~ These foot-long larvae are yellowish in color, though they are beginning to dry out and fade to grey. A few have large gouges in them. ~ -1 S #68516 Giant Cactus -- An Egg Chamber~ A couple of stacks of amber eggs sit off to one side of this small, rounded chamber. The rest of the chamber is littered with the shells of the amber globes which once held what must now be ant larvae. The cast off shells of the eggs have dried into dangerously sharp shards of an amber-like material. The room is curiously humid; a sticky greenish liquid seeps from the green walls to puddle on the floor in various places. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 E shells floor shards amber~ The amber shells which litter the floor are dangerously sharp. They are shattered into a myriad of pieces which cover the floor of the chamber almost completely. ~ E puddles liquid~ Beads of this greenish liquid run slowly down the walls of the chamber to collect in small puddles. The liquid smells sickly sweet and slightly floral. ~ 819 17 1509949540 -2 41 -1 S #68517 Giant Cactus - The Ant Nursery~ The walls of this small side chamber are riddled with large holes. In almost every hole, a small, yellowish larva squirms around. The holes are partially covered up by a transluscent amber-colored substance, ensuring the small baby ants stay within their holes until ready to emerge. Tracks sprawl along the floor of the chamber, coming and going in a random, criss-crossing pattern. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 -1 S #68518 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68520 10 10 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68519 10 10 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68522 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68521 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68523 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68513 10 10 5 -1 S #68519 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68524 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 -1 S #68520 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 -1 S #68521 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68526 10 10 5 -1 S #68522 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 -1 S #68523 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ top of cactus ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68518 10 10 5 -1 S #68524 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ downward turning limb of the cactus ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 68519 10 10 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68525 10 10 5 -1 S #68525 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68524 10 10 5 -1 S #68526 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ upward turning cactus limb ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 68521 10 10 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 68527 10 10 5 -1 S #68527 Nothing~ Under Construction. ~ ~ 301465605 3 9 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 68526 10 10 5 -1 S #0
