#9600 Within the %4mists%0~ Dark %4mists%0 hang low to the dirt and pine-needled ground in this area. Large, damp trunks of seemingly topless trees surround you in silence, each of which absorb much of the light that would normally fall on you. Each step you take leads you into yet another area which looks the same as this. Occasionally you hear small animals and their feeble attempts at calling for help in finding their way out of these mists. ~ 96 67127296 3 r2097152 D0 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9643 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M-1 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9601 The edge of the %4mists%0~ Though forest sounds fill the air to the south, this area is amazingly silent. Towering trees, mostly pines, enshroud the sky above you with an opaque canopy, allowing hardly any light to penetrate down to the dirt and needled forest floor. No breezes, no normal forest animals seem to dwell in this area... nothing but silence lives here. Silence as still and frightening as death. ~ 96 67127361 3 r4194304 D2 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V128 0 6078 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9647 D8 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9643 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M20 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9602 Within the %4mists%0~ Dark %4mists%0 hang still around you, absorbing nearly all of the slivers of light that barely penetrate through the treetops high above.

Water slowly forms on your skin in tiny beads, whether from the damp air, the heat, or your nerves, and drips off onto the ground. Any attempt at calculating your present location proves futile as even remaining aware of what direction you're facing is a challenge.

Large, damp trunks of seemingly topless trees surround you in silence, each of which absorb much of the light that would normally fall on you. Each step you take leads you into yet another area which looks the same as this. Occasionally you hear small animals and their feeble attempts at calling for help in finding their way out of these mists. ~ 96 67127296 3 r0 D1 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9647 D7 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9615 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M-1 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9638 Within the %4mists%0~ Dark %4mists%0 hang still around you, absorbing nearly all of the slivers of light that barely penetrate through the treetops high above. In every direction, the %4mists%0 continue, concealing any hope of escape within their silent grasp. Any sounds you make are quickly muffled out by the thick array of damp pine needles sitting quietly on the forest floor as well as the massive tree trunks. ~ 96 67127296 3 r0 D7 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9642 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M-1 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9639 Within the %4mists%0~ You are surrounded by a blanket of humid %4mist%0 which leaves a layer of thick moisture on everything is touches, including your skin. Everytime you inhale, a thick plume of air fills your lungs with mist so damp and stagnant, you are forced to exhale it quickly to avoid coughing. Dark outlines of the ominous and towering trees come into and fade away from your line of sight, though the mist does not appear to move at all. In fact, nothing appears to move, not even time itself. ~ 96 67127296 3 r0 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9611 D9 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9630 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M-1 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9640 Within the %4mists%0~ The soft, pine-needled ground caresses each step you take and engulfs each footstep so it hardly produces a sound.

Looming above you, surrounding you along with the %4mists%0. You catch brief glimpses of movement far off in the distance in between the trees, but the mists conceal anything more than that. High above you, the dark mists grudgingly give way to an even darker barrier of treetops. In every direction, there lies nothing other than more forest... and more of this gloom. ~ 96 67127296 3 r0 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9607 D7 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9643 D8 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9610 D9 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9638 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M-1 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9643 Within the %4mists%0~ Silence.

Rotted wood forms the semblance of steps which lead into an uncomfortable darkness beyond the four foot door. A slope leads back up into a relatively brighter area, though neither there nor here can be considered bright by any means. A cool breeze accompanies a stagnant stench which originates from beyond the polished door leading into utter darkness. ~ 96 2368 3 r4194304 D1 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V16039 -1 9652 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9649 D4 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V128 0 9650 R A slight breeze, smelling of death, oozes out from the crypt.~ &~ &~ &~ The only sound to be heard is silence.~ p 0 0 0 0 M8 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P rtrigadd #|o|door| { recho The door begins to glow... rgoto teletag } rtag waithere rtrigwait rgoto waithere rtag teletag rif tarcharlevel >= 60 { recho Blinding light fills the area! rtele char +C 10112 recho The light fades... rgoto waithere } recho The light fades... rgoto waithere ~ S #9652 Before the %4Gateway%0~ Bleh. ~ 96 2057 0 r4210688 D0 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9646 D2 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9615 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V16039 -1 9651 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p -1 -1 -1 -1 M8 F0 Q0 d-1 t 0 0 -1 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #9699 The edge of the %4mists%0~ Though forest sounds fill the air to the south, this area is amazingly silent. Towering trees, mostly pines, enshroud the sky above you with an opaque canopy, allowing hardly any light to penetrate down to the dirt and needled forest floor. No breezes, no normal forest animals seem to dwell in this area... nothing but silence lives here. Silence as still and frightening as death. ~ 96 67127361 3 r4194304 D0 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V128 0 10101 D3 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9603 D6 ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ V0 0 9635 R ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ p 0 0 0 0 M20 F-1 Q-1 d-1 t 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 o -1 -1 -1 m 0 ~ P ~ S #99999 $~
