There are many different forms of plant life wrapping themselves about your legs. They appear to be moving as if they have an intelligence, and are plotting towards your death! ~ 54 512 1 D0 On the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16904 D1 intro 3 ~ ~ 0 -1 16902 S #16904 On the river~ You are now up to your waiste in muddy water. Occasionally, you can't help but trip over some underwater rocks and brush. There are hundreds of fish brushing up against you, obviously a great place to go fishing. ~ 54 512 1 D0 Before the fisherman's shack.~ ~ 0 -1 16905 D2 On the river. ~ ~ 0 -1 16903 D3 A trail leading away from the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16908 S #16905 Before the fisherman's shack~ You are just west of a small dock, connected to a run-down shack. The aroma of dead fish lingers in the air, almost causing you to vomit. The underwater brush here is very thick, grabbing on to you like strong hands. You decide it would be best not to stay on the river much longer... ~ 54 512 1 D0 On the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16907 D1 The fisherman's shack.~ ~ 0 -1 16906 D2 On the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16904 S #16906 The fisherman's shack~ You have walked across the dock to this run-down old shack. Part of this shack has been built out over water. Between the boards you can see the sludge of trapped water and mud. There is a single table and chair here, neither which should really still be standing. You sense a great sadness here, perhaps from the fisherman who owns this place. ~ 54 520 1 D3 Before the fisherman's shack.~ ~ 0 -1 16905 D5 You see nothing special here... ~ door~ 17 0 16929 S #16907 On the river~ The banks of the river are now completely consumed by intense vegetation and mud. The water itself appears to be coagulating into a jelatinous mixture... almost like clay. What you had once thought to be fish, you now fear maybe something much, much larger and more dangerous... perhaps a snake of some sort. ~ 54 512 1 D0 Edge of the Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16911 D2 Before the fisherman's shack.~ ~ 0 -1 16905 S #16908 On a path leading west~ This trail appears to have been made by several small animals, and leads off to the west. The vegetation is very thick on both sides, discouraging leaving the beaten path. The trees in the distance appear to be swinging back and forth... perhaps in the wind. ~ 54 512 2 D1 On the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16904 D3 On the beaten path.~ ~ 0 -1 16912 S #16909 A dead end~ The trail that you chose has just formed a dead end... You think to yourself 'how strange' because the path is recently beaten in. You notice that whatever has beaten the path in must have been wet because the drips lead off into the distance to the west. ~ 54 520 1 D1 Fork in the path. ~ ~ 0 -1 16912 S #16910 Entrance to the forest~ You stand before a large, lighted forest. A small, curvy trail leads through the forest, and it appears to have been used frequently!

On either side of you are bogs and marshes full of strange plants and repulsive creatures. A slight breeze from the north gives you your first whiff of the death and decay that can be found there. ~ 54 512 2 D0 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16923 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16914 D2 Back on the river.~ ~ 0 -1 16907 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16915 S #16912 Fork in the path~ The path makes a sharp turn here, heading east back to the river, and north into the forest. There is an oppressive feeling about the forest, and you have the distinct impression that the trees are very much aware of your presence. You sense a general uneasiness about the forest; the tension of ancient oaths unfulfilled. ~ 54 512 2 D0 Entering the forest. ~ ~ 0 -1 16910 D1 On the beaten path.~ ~ 0 -1 16908 D3 A small path. ~ ~ 0 -1 16909 S #16913 The Swamp of Apocrypha~ You find yourself wading through the Swamps of Apocrypha.

In the distance, you can distinguish large rock formations. These two formations appear to be the only land left of the once fertile and prosperous Apocrypha.

There are strange, scaled beasts swiming around in the water. On occasion, you notice a scaled back dip out of the water for a moment, and then return to the depths from which it came. You notice body parts, some with armor on, floating past you. You wonder what could have possibly sloughtered so many people, and crushed the legendary civilization, which was the economic center of this region for so many centuries. ~ 54 512 2 D0 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16920 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16913 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16915 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16916 S #16918 The Swamp of Apocrypha~ You are wading through the muddy Swamp of Apocrypha. The creatures of good and evil lurk through the mysterious water... as they once did on land centuries ago. You wonder what force could ever turn such a prosperous empire into a barren swamp. You notice a metal hoop protruding from the water not far ahead... ~ 54 512 2 D0 Before you is the Entrance to the old Aprocyphan Sewer, now partly exposed, and looking quite DANGEROUS! ~ ~ 0 -1 16925 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16919 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16913 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16920 S #16919 The Swamp of Apocrypha~ You are wading very deep in the Swamp of Apocrypha. There are beasts of great power and speed swiming near you in the water. You decide that it would be wise to leave this area at once. Just as this thought occurs, an unknown creature peers at you from the shadows, its eyes share with you the despair of a civilization torn apart by greed and corruption. ~ 54 512 2 D0 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16918 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16920 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16916 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16918 S #16920 The Swamp of Apocrypha~ The land is somewhat higher here, forming a mini-island. The surface is made of a hard, black rock... similar to that of volcanic rock. However, it has the ancient symbols depicting the corruption of the Apocryphan civilization. While you can not read these symbols, a few stand out to you and represent war, hate, love and greed. You try to paint a picture of the Apocyphan civiliztion centuries ago. ~ 54 512 2 D0 The Swamp of Aprocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16924 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16918 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16917 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16919 D5 Too dark to tell.~ door~ 16 0 16921 S #16921 An Apocryphan Gate~ You are standing before a huge, iron door. It appears that the door has not been open in centuries! You sense the great magical powers that lie on the other side of this gate.

The smell of dead bodies lingers in the air, as you feel that you may be stepping on a decomposed body. At this point you wonder if the entire swamp bed is made up of nothing but bodies of old Apocryphan soldiers. ~ 54 512 2 D0 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16914 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16915 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16915 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16914 S #16924 The Swamp of Apocrypha~ You find yourself wading deeper into the dangerous Swamp of Apocrypha. It seems as though the creatures, that were once eyeing you for dinner, are now closing in for the kill! There is an old tree here, growing out of the water. It seems to have a sentient look to it, and you have the feeling of being watched. You cut yourself on a piece of metal, as you nearly miss a swipe from a giant water snake. You notice that the snake has the symbol of the great Apocryphan Empire repeated down its back... could it have been sent to kill you? ~ 54 4608 2 D0 Deep into the Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16928 D1 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16925 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16920 D3 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16925 S #16925 Before the Tunnel~ You have explored even further into the great Apocryphan Swamp! What you once thought to be a large hoop of metal, has turned out to be a large tunnel... You can hear a loud breathing coming from within the tunnel.

While thoughts of the Midgaard sewer system relax you, the sound of the breathing from the next room vex you. A dead body floats past you, and you notice that it is sill fresh! ~ 54 513 2 D0 The crushed end of the sewer lies before you.~ ~ 0 -1 16927 D2 The Entrance to the sewer.~ ~ 0 -1 16925 S #16927 The Crushed Sewer End~ You have wandered into the home of the most vicious creature that you have ever seen...

The water is now up to your shoulders, and there are more mean-looking creatures here then before. Just as you are ready to continue exploring, you notice a stick protruding from the swamp water, with a necklace stuck onto it. At first, you attempt to steal the necklace, but then you realize that this is the grave of the last Apocryphan hero. The legends told of the man who gave up his life fighting for a lasting peace in the Apocryphan Empire, but never did you think that you would see his grave! ~ 54 512 2 D2 The Swamp of Apocrypha.~ ~ 0 -1 16924 S #16929 A Secret Escape Passage~ As you look around, you realize that this was once a secret escape passage for the fisherman, or one of his ancestors.

Whe the evil forces ruled Apocrypha, the fisherman's ancestors were forced to reside in this hidden basement. However, when both the evil and good forces fled the barren land, the fisherman was free to live his own life. Now, this is probably used as a bedroom for the evil creatures! ~ 54 520 1 D1 The tunnel.~ ~ 0 -1 16930 D2 Nothing specail there... ~ door~ 17 0 16932 S #16932 Inside the Passage~ In your rush to flee the evil creatures, you almost missed the well concealed exit to the passage.

As you look down, you cling for life to the tree, in fear of falling. You must make the decision: proceed in climbing the tree, or take your chances on jumping.

It appears that they all lead to balcony-type extensions of the tree branches. The balcony to the east has a rope that is hanging from something above! ~ 54 8 1 D3 You peer out onto the west balcony.~ ~ 0 -1 16976 D5 Now look, climbing higher up the tree REALLY isn't going to make jumping any safer. It still looks pretty DEADLY to me. You wonder why you see an occassional ripple in the visual spectrum while looking down. Could it be the sun reflecting on the ground this high up? ~ ~ 0 -1 16975 S #16975 The Shanodin Dryads' Treasure Room~ You are in some kind of hollowed oak...
