The ground here is very stiff. Vegetation has been cleared, and the dark clouds are kept at bay by an unseen forcefield. Dark clouds dominate the north. West leads to dense foliage. East leads to a misty area. ~ 0 1 12 E monolith~ This huge monolith resembles nothing you have ever seen before. You have a strong feeling not to go within. ~ D0 To the north is a cloud of darkest evil. ~ ~ 0 -1 8311 D1 Eastward lies a murky bog. ~ ~ 0 -1 8314 D3 Near Vegetation from Hell. ~ ~ 0 -1 8312 S #8314 Murky Bog.~ A murky bog surrounds you.

Colored steam rises from its surface. The water is very calm, but also hard to maneuver through all of the junk at the surface and in the water. The southern part of the lake looks more pleasant. The west leads to the swamp. ~ 0 1 7 D2 The southern portion of the lake lies to the south. ~ ~ 0 -1 8316 D3 To the west lies a murky bog. ~ ~ 0 -1 8314 S #8316 Southern Lake Side.~ You travel through a shallow, shady section of the lake. The bottom is sandy and shows depressions where bream are nesting. To the south, an overcast trail leads into the darkness. The north and west shores are a short distance away. You also notice a small section of the lake is very deep. ~ 0 1 7 E north~ The way to the north seems to be impassable, due to the rough water and strange wild life. ~ D0 Northern lake side. ~ ~ 0 -1 8315 D2 There is a murky trail leading south. ~ ~ 0 0 8319 D3 To the west the swamp seems to clear up. ~ ~ 0 -1 8317 D5 Down leads to the bottom of the lake. ~ ~ 0 0 8329 S #8317 Swamp's Edge~ This seems to be the edge of the swamp.

Overhead, the vegetation is thick enough to block out the sky completely. Tiny phosphorescent insects flit and blink all around you, lighting the clearing in an emerald hue. ~ 0 4 12 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 8319 M 150 H 150 S #8321 An Oozing Bog~ This part of the bog is so saturated with water it seems like quicksand. It's still strong enough to support weight, and the thousands of mosquitoes. The source of the mosquitoes seems to be coming from a lake to the east. ~ 0 1 12 D1 To the east is a shallow lake swarming with mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8322 D2 Southward is a thick bog of ooze with lots of mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8300 S #8322 A Mosquito-Infested Lake~ Tens of thousands of mosquitoes swarm above the water's surface, making it seem like one huge living entity.

Green stuff covers most of the lake in this region, and where it does not, mosquitoes take its place. You see some wreckage of a boat east of here. To the west and north the lake continues. ~ 0 1 12 D0 You see the north part of a shallow lake swarming with mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8323 D1 You see the remains of a wrecked canoe. ~ ~ 0 0 8326 D3 You see the west part of a shallow lake swarming with mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8324 S #8326 Wreckage of a Canoe~ You enter the wreckage of the large canoe.

You can swim deeper into the lake or surface to the mosquitoes. ~ 0 5 6 D4 You see the surface of the lake, swarming with mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8323 D5 You see the bottom of the lake, along with some fish, but no mosquitoes. ~ ~ 0 0 8328 S #8328 At the Bottom of the Lake~ The water down here seems to clear up, since no eggs or larvae have made it this deep. The bottom of the lake is covered by very dark grass-like vegetation. Swimming around are weird-looking fish that do not seem to have an interest in you. ~ 0 1 6 D3 The space narrows westward. ~ ~ 0 0 8337 D4 You see water filled with mosquito larvae and eggs. ~ ~ 0 0 8327 S #8329 Deep in the Southern Lake Side~ You can hear the splashing of the swamp creatures going through the water above, and also feel the thuds of the swamp trolls and giants stomping in the water, but none of them go down here. You can surface back to the lake or head east, deeper into the lake. ~ 0 5 6 D1 You see the water become very cloudy and dark. ~ ~ 0 0 8330 D4 Up leads to the surface of the lake. ~ ~ 0 0 8316 S #8330 Murky Water~ The water here is very dark and cloudy, making visibility poor. The local marine life consists of very dark, grass-like plants protruding from the bottom of the swamp, to weird-looking fish that seem to kick up the dirt as they pass by you. You see a small entryway at the bottom, while west leads directly beneath the southern side of the lake. ~ 0 1 6 D3 West leads to the bottom of the southern lake of the marsh. ~ ~ 0 0 8329 D5 You see murky water. ~ ~ 0 0 8331 S #8331 Murky Water~ The water here seems to clear up a bit, but still you can only see a few feet in front of you. The plants tickle your underside as you pass by them, and the occasional fish swims close by you, oblivious of your presence. ~ 0 1 6 D0 You see murky water. ~ ~ 0 0 8332 D4 You see murky water. ~ ~ 0 0 8330 S #8332 Murky Waters~ The dark plants seem to be more dense in this area, as well as the weird-looking fish swimming between them. The place looks very bland and uninteresting. To the west is a water-filled tunnel, probably dug by one of the water's inhabitants. ~ 0 1 6 D2 You see murky water. ~ ~ 0 0 8331 D3 West leads to a water-filled tunnel. ~ ~ 0 0 8333 S #8333 A Water-Filled Tunnel~ This tunnel is filled with many nooks and crannies that are too small for you to enter, but you see lots of small plants and fish nests inside. Lots of very small fish swim around, unphased by your presence. ~ 0 1 6 D0 You see a water-filled tunnel. ~ ~ 0 0 8334 D1 The tunnel widens to lead to murky waters. ~ ~ 0 0 8332 S #8334 A Water-Filled Tunnel~ You spot a small fish nest dead in the middle of this tunnel.

From the looks of the area, this looks like a small tunnel, dug by some marine animal. There are many branches that are too narrow for you to enter, but you see fish nests in them. The tunnel continues south. To the north the tunnel opens up. ~ 0 1 6 D0 North leads directly below the bogs. ~ ~ 0 0 8336 D2 You see a water-filled tunnel. ~ ~ 0 0 8334 S #8336 Beneath the Swamp~ You notice only a few marine animals down here - weird-looking fish, eels, and more weird-looking fish. They seem to scatter when eels get too close, hinting that the eels might be the predators down here. There isn't much room to maneuver down here. You can swim east or south. ~ 0 1 6 D1 You see the bottom of the lake. ~ ~ 0 0 8337 D2 You see a small, water-filled tunnel. ~ ~ 0 0 8335 S #8337 At the Bottom of the Lake~ The space down here is cramped. It is also very dark now, making visibility very poor, as you can only see a few feet in front of you. The grass-like plants guide your way. ~ 0 1 6 D1 You see more of the bottom of the lake. ~ ~ 0 0 8328 D3 West leads directly below the bogs. ~ ~ 0 0 8336 S #8338 A Caved-In Building~ Not much remains intact inside this building. All of the valuables have been looted. Furniture has been crushed, and pottery lay in pieces all over the floor. Most of the building is covered with moss. East leads back to the swamp. ~ 0 0 0 D1 A muddy path is to the east. ~ ~ 0 0 8301 S #8339 Marshy Forest~ This place is sparsely populated by trees, most of which are saplings. A large puddle is between two trees, and you see it shiver as the inhabitants of this swamp heavily stomp on the ground. To the east, the ground becomes very soft. The marshy forest continues north. ~ 0 1 12 D0 A sparse, marshy forest lies south. ~ ~ 0 0 8303 D1 Eastward is a thick bog of ooze. ~ ~ 0 0 8340 S #8340 An Oozing Bog~ The earth here has suddenly become very soft, almost oozing with water. There are many impressions on the ground, mostly footprints that range from very large to tiny feet. The oozing bog continues east and north. To the west the ground becomes more solid, and you see a few trees. ~ 0 1 12 D0 Northward is a thick bog of ooze. ~ ~ 0 0 8305 D1 Eastward is a thick bog of ooze. ~ ~ 0 0 8341 D3 To the west you see a sparse marsh forest. ~ ~ 0 0 8339 S #8341 An Oozing Bog~ All around you, you hear squishy, suction sounds made by the swamp's inhabitants. You also hear faint buzzing noises in the distant north. The oozing bog continues north and west. ~ 0 1 12 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 8306 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 8340 S #8342 Dense Foliage~ The foliage becomes too thick to travel west and north. Some odd plants seem to move away when you get near them. Some other plants seem to ooze a bright green liquid on their leaves. The ground here seems to be more solid than the rest of the marsh. You can continue east and south. ~ 0 524289 12 D1 Foliage is heavy to the east. ~ ~ 0 0 8312 D2 Foliage is heavy to the south. ~ ~ 0 0 8344 S #8343 Dense Foliage~ There are many plants here, native to the swamp, along with the insects and small creatures that make their habitat in or around them. The leaves of some of the plants rustle as you pass. Shadows casted by the large plants and the thickness of some make this a good hiding place. ~ 0 524289 12 D0 Foliage is heavy to the north. ~ ~ 0 0 8312 D3 Foliage is heavy to the west. ~ ~ 0 0 8344 S #8344 Dense Foliage~ The plants on the ground seem to be somewhat crushed by a heavy weight or creature. The crushed trail leads west. The dense foliage continues east and north. ~ 0 524289 12 D0 Foliage is heavy to the north. ~ ~ 0 0 8342 D1 Foliage is heavy to the east. ~ ~ 0 0 8343 D3 You see a lair of a marsh creature. ~ ~ 0 0 8307 S #8345 A Caved-In Building~ Most of this building has collapsed. Green vegetation, mostly moss, occupy most of the space. Anything of value that used to be in this building is either missing or buried in the mess. The only exit is to the west. ~ 0 0 0 D3 A muddy path is to the west. ~ ~ 0 0 8301 S #0 #SPECIALS M 8309 spec_poison M 8310 spec_poison M 8312 spec_thief M 8313 spec_cast_undead M 8319 spec_cast_cleric M 8322 spec_poison M 8323 spec_poison S #RESETS M 0 8301 2 8303 1 M 0 8302 6 8303 2 M 0 8303 3 8303 1 M 0 8302 6 8304 2 M 0 8306 2 8304 1 M 0 8310 2 8304 1 M 0 8314 6 8304 1 M 0 8307 2 8305 1 M 0 8309 2 8305 1 M 0 8310 2 8305 1 M 0 8314 6 8305 1 M 0 8302 6 8306 2 M 0 8305 2 8306 2 M 0 8314 6 8306 1 M 0 8303 3 8307 1 M 0 8304 1 8307 1 M 0 8314 6 8307 1 M 0 8320 5 8307 1 M 0 8301 2 8308 1 M 0 8308 1 8308 1 M 0 8314 6 8308 1 M 0 8312 2 8309 1 M 0 8314 6 8309 1 M 0 8320 5 8309 1 M 0 8306 2 8310 1 M 0 8312 2 8310 1 M 0 8313 1 8310 1 M 0 8309 2 8311 1 M 0 8320 5 8311 1 M 0 8318 2 8312 2 M 0 8318 2 8312 2 M 0 8319 1 8313 1 M 0 8303 3 8313 1 M 0 8307 2 8313 1 M 0 8320 5 8313 1 M 0 8320 5 8315 1 M 0 8321 2 8318 2 M 0 8321 2 8318 2 M 0 8300 6 8321 2 M 0 8300 6 8323 2 M 0 8300 6 8324 2 M 0 8311 1 8325 1 M 0 8315 1 8326 1 M 0 8316 1 8327 1 M 0 8317 5 8331 2 M 0 8322 2 8333 1 M 0 8317 5 8334 2 M 0 8322 2 8335 1 M 0 8317 5 8337 2 M 0 8323 2 8342 2 M 0 8323 2 8343 2 S #SHOPS 0 #$
