#10000 Inside a Small Cabin~ As you step into the shabby cabin the smell makes you gag. A slight haze makes your eyes sting. Whoever lives here has no regard for cleanliness. Piles of rags lay everywhere ~ 100 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10001 E credits info~ Builder : Rumble Zone : 100 Northern Highway Began : 1999 Player Level : 3-7 Rooms : 100 Mobs : 17 Objects : 17 Shops : 0 Triggers : 0 Theme : Connector forest between a city and Dun Maura Links : 04s, 56w, 96n Zone 100 was linked to the following zones: 96 Domiae at 10056 (west ) ---> 9603 240 Dun Maura at 10096 (north) ---> 24000 ~ E stove~ The stove looks like it hasn't been used for a few years. In the bottom you see a thick pile of ashes. You notice something sparkling in the ashes. ~ E bunk~ As you examine the bunk closer you notice some of the rags may not be as shabby as you originally thought. No one would miss them, would they? ~ S #10001 In Front of the Hermit's Cabin~ You stop and stare at the decrepit bundle of sticks that must be where some recluse hermit lives. You can't imagine living out here, beyond the safety of the city walls. Thick forests block any exit to the north and you can see the city wall to the south. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10002 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10000 S #10002 Along the City Wall~ As you walk by the city wall you notice the forest is getting thicker. A slight gloom hangs over this part of the woods. You start to walk a little faster. Further to the west you can see a small clearing with something that looks like a shack. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10009 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10003 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10001 S #10003 Along the City Wall~ The few animals in this part of the forest scatter as you walk by. The forest is thickening slightly, a little less sunlight is making it to the forest floor. Overhead you can hear birds chirping and squirrels chattering. This place feels very peaceful. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10010 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10004 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10002 S #10004 The Northern Road~ You are standing at the beginning of the road to the city of the Minotaurs, Dun Maura. Many rumors abound of these savage beasts but few leave the city walls to explore. To the north you see a thick forest. To the east and west are small paths along the city wall. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10011 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10005 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10003 S #10005 Along the City Wall~ The forest along this part of the wall is thinnning out. Further east it looks as if the forest disappears all together and turns into a grassy plain. Small innocent forest creatures abound in this healthy forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10012 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10006 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10004 S #10006 Along the City Wall~ The forest is almost completely gone now, replaced by tall fields of grass as far as the eyes can see. An unnatural cold breeze blows from the east. You have a sudden urge to head back towards the safety of the forest, or even better yet, back to the city. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10013 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10007 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10005 S #10007 A Dead End~ Because of the tall grass you almost stumble right into a massive crevice to the east. It looks impossible to cross. You have no choice but to head back west. These plains give you an eerie feeling anyways. ~ 100 0 3 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10006 S #10008 Deep Forest~ The forest is so dense you can hardly see more than ten feet without a tree blocking your vision. It would be very easy for someone, or something, to sneak up on you here. You can continue north or east through the forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10014 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10009 S #10009 Deep Forest~ The forest seems so peaceful and quiet, a little too quiet. Where have all the animals gone? Tall trees are blocking alot of the sunlight here. It looks even thicker to the west. The forest continues in all directions. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10015 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10010 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10002 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10008 S #10010 Off the Northern Road~ Just west off the northern road the forest is very peaceful and quiet. The sounds of nature sooth you into a feeling of false security. You wonder at the tall trees and abundant wildlife. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10016 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10011 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10003 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10009 S #10011 The Northern Road~ The northern road is made of hard dirt. Packed solid from years of use from both travellers, merchants, and peddlers. Wagon tracks leave small ruts in the road. To the west is some thick woodlands, while to the east you think you can make out some plains in the distance. The road continues north or south. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10017 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10012 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10004 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10010 S #10012 Off the Northern Road~ As you walk off the beaten path into the beginning of some plains you notice the trees here are shorter and spaced further apart. To the east you see that the forest fades away into plains. You can explore in any direction. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10018 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10013 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10005 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10011 S #10013 The Beginning of the Plains~ As you finally reach the edge of the plains you are disappointed by a large casm that blocks any further travel east. You wonder at what could have caused this natural barrier. You are blocked from continuing north or east. ~ 100 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10006 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10012 S #10014 Deep Forest~ The forest is too thick to see more than a few feet. Trees and brush block the exits to the north and east. You start to wonder if someone could be spying on you. Someone could be standing behind any one of these huge trees and you would never know. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10015 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10008 S #10015 Deep Forest~ The forest clears to the north and east. It looks like you are close to the northern road. Small animals scatter as you walk by, leaves and twigs crunch under your feet. Someone could hear you coming from a mile away. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10022 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10016 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10009 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10014 S #10016 Off the Northern Road~ The northern road is just to your east now. It seems to curve around to the north. The trees here are spaced several feet apart and you can see the movement of wildlife in the distance. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10023 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10017 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10010 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10015 S #10017 The Northern Road~ You stand in the middle of the northern road. It is almost completely deserted. You can see a few people off in the distance to the south, close to the city. To the north you can make out what looks like a body of water in the distance. The forest is to the west and there are some plains in the distance to the east. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10024 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10018 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10011 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10016 S #10018 Light Forest~ The forest is starting to fade away into plains. A stiff wind blows from the east. It seems a little cold for this time of year. To the north you think you can hear the sound of rushing water. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10025 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10019 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10012 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10017 S #10019 Before the Plains~ The way to the plains is blocked by a huge chasm. It looks like a river used to flow through it. But somehow it must of dried up. You can hear the sound of running water in the distance. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10026 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10018 S #10020 Deep Forest~ The forest is extremely dense through here. The exits west and south are blocked by the thick brush. To the north you can hear the roar of rushing water. Animals seem to abound in this forest. They keep distracting you. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10028 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10021 S #10021 Deep Forest~ The thick forest to the north and south is untraversible. You're only choice is to continue east or west between the massive trees. The safety and easy travel of the northern road is just to your east. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10022 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10020 S #10022 A Bend in the Northern Road~ The northern road curves around the edge of a lake here. The lake is shrouded in fog. You can not make out what is on the other side. A large river feeds into the lake to the north. You can follow the road north or head back toward the city to the east. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10030 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10023 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10015 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10021 S #10023 The Northern Road~ The northern road leads right up to the edge of a vast lake. The water looks clean and refreshing. A blanket of fog obscures what is on the other side. The road goes continues east to west to go around the lake. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10024 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10016 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10022 S #10024 A Bend in the Northern Road~ The road ends abruptly at the edge of the lake. You stare dumbfounded, then realize it curves around to the west. The lake has a layer of fog over it. To the east you can see plains in the distance. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10025 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10017 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10023 S #10025 Edge of the Lake~ You start to walk around the edge of the lake. You hear the sound of rushing water to the north. The lake seems very serene, you're tempted to take a quick dip in the water, but who knows what could be watching you. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10031 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10018 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10024 S #10026 Light Forest~ You tromp your way through the forest. The forest floor is clear and makes for good travelling. You feel like you are making good time and actually getting somewhere. The forest thickens to the west and north, leaving the only exits to the south and east. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10027 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10019 S #10027 Before the Plains~ The plains to the east are blocked by a large chasm. You doubt you could make your way across it. The only way to continue is to the west or to the north. You can hear the sound of running water to the north. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10033 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10026 S #10028 By the River~ A massive river roars past you. It's a good twenty strides wide. No way to cross without a bridge. To the west the thick forest looks inpenetrable. You think you can see a road to the east. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10029 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10020 S #10029 By the River~ The river roars past you to the north. You can only leave east or west. To the east you can see the northern road and what looks like a bridge to get across the river. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10030 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10028 S #10030 The River Bridge~ A large stone bridge crosses the river just to the north. It is made of stone and must have taken years to build. The river empties into a massive lake just to the east. The northern road continues across the bridge. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10036 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10022 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10029 S #10031 Beside the Lake~ As you walk along the edge of the lake you come to it's outlet. A small river blocks the way north. Though small, the rivers current looks fast and strong. You doubt you could wade across without being swept downstream. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10032 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10025 S #10032 Light Forest~ As you walk along the edge of the river you begin to wonder why there are no signs of civilization around. You would think this would be a great place to live off the land. You can continue along the river east or west. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10033 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10031 S #10033 Before the Plains~ The river drops off into an impressive waterfall that flows into a small lake to the east. Across the canyon you see fields of grass. A small rickety rope bridge crosses the river to the north. It looks like it might be able to hold one person at a time. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10041 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10027 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10032 S #10034 Deep Forest~ The forest leads right up to the edge of the river bank here. Trees lean out precariously over the river as the water washes away the soil from underneath them. The forest continues north or west. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10042 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10035 S #10035 A Curve in the Northern Road~ As you walk on the northern road, just north of the river, you feel as if you are being watched. Someone could easily hide in these woods. The road continues north or turns east towards a bridge. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10043 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10036 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10034 S #10036 A Curve in the Northern Road~ Just to the south a massive stone bridge crosses the river. The land to the east looks like the beginning of a swamp. A heavy fog from the lake billows slowly across the road. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10044 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10037 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10030 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10035 S #10037 North of the Lake~ The ground here is definitely getting swampy. You're feet start to stick in the soft soil. The fog blowing off the lake is getting thicker. The silence is almost scary. You wonder what kind of creatures live in a swamp? ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10045 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10038 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10036 S #10038 North of the Lake~ Your feet are starting to sink up to the ankle in the muck and mud. The stench of rot and decay is thick along with the fog. The wind coming off the lake does not seem to help at all. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10046 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10039 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10037 S #10039 Light Forest~ The swamp clears up a little, tall healthy trees keep the soil under your feet firm. The river to the south must be the outlet to the massive lake. You can only leave to the north or west. It looks like swampland in both directions. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10047 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10038 S #10040 Swamp~ You walk out onto a small natural jetti sticking out into the middle of the swamp. Fetid water surrounds you, leaving the only way out to the north. Something causes ripples in the water, but is gone before you can tell what it was. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10048 S #10041 Before the Plains~ You stand just north of a rope bridge, on the edge of the plains. A bog to the east looks dangerous. To the north you can continue into the plains. The way east is blocked by the river. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10049 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10033 S #10042 The Northern Road~ The northern road continues here, north to Dun Maura or east back toward the city. You wonder about the fabled Dun Maura, city of the minotaurs. Many stories abound about it, but you doubt half of them are true. To the south you could enter the dense forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10050 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10043 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10034 S #10043 A Curve in the Northern Road~ The road turns west around a small pond or heads south back to the city. The pond just to the north looks more like a bog than anything else. Sick and dying trees are scattered throughout it. It looks as if the area was recently flooded. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10044 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10035 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10042 S #10044 Swamp~ You stand at the southeast corner of the pond, surrounded by swamp, except to the south and west that appear to be where the northern road works its way around this marsh. The smell of decomposition is strong here. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10051 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10045 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10036 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10043 S #10045 Swamp~ You stand in the middle of the swamp, carefully testing every step as you step into the muck. It seems to be getting deeper here. Your feet sink above the ankles once in a while. Wildlife seems scarce. You wonder why anything would live here. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10052 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10046 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10037 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10044 S #10046 Swamp~ You are afraid you might lose your way in this dismal marsh. Your feet are starting to sink almost all the way up to your knees now. You wonder about the possibilities of quicksand, and all those stories you hear about people disappearing in these swamps. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10053 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10047 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10038 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10045 S #10047 Swamp~ The thought of taking a wrong step and sinking to your death makes you slow down a little. To the west you think you can see some drier land. You thank the gods above. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10054 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10048 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10039 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10046 S #10048 Swamp~ The swamp is starting to firm up underneath you. To the north you see a large crater in the ground. You wonder who the unfortunate soul was to be walking across that when it gave out. To the south and west the swamp looks even worse. East you see the beginning of some plains. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10049 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10040 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10047 S #10049 Edge of the Plains~ The plains stretch to the north and east as far as you can see. To the south you can hear the sound of rushing water. West you stare into a dismal swampland. The stories you've heard about getting lost in those plains makes you decide to stick closer to civilization. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10055 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10041 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10048 S #10050 The Northern Road~ The northern road hugs the edge of the pond to the east. The forest to the west looks too thick to bother leaving the easy travelling of this road. The road continues north and south. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10056 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10042 S #10051 Beside the Pond~ A small pond is just to the west. The water looks murky and unclean. To the north is more forest while east and south it looks a little swampy. Small animals scatter as you intrude on their territory. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10058 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10052 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10044 S #10052 Swamp~ The smell here is overpowering. The stench of stagnant water and rot makes your eyes tear. The swamp continues to the south. To the west you can see a body of water. ~ 100 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10045 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10051 S #10053 A Small Bridge~ Someone had the common sense to put a bridge here so you would not have to walk in the muddy swamp. It feels good to be on dry ground for a change. The bridge leads north or south. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10060 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10046 S #10054 The Edge of a Sink Hole~ You walk towards the large crater and the ground underneath you starts to fall away. Luckily, you jump back before falling into this natural trap. You look down into the sink hole and think you can see a Corpse. ~ 100 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10047 E corpse~ It definitely is a corpse. But not human. As you look closer it seems it must have been a minotaur. You can just barely make out some horns and one leg floating in the muck has a hoove. ~ S #10055 The Edge of the Plains~ With the swamp to the south and plains north and east you enjoy the fresh, clean, open air. A sink hole is just to the west. Someone must have walked over it and caused it to collapse. You pity the poor adventurer. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10063 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10049 S #10056 The Northern Road~ The northern road turns sharply east here. You must be getting closer to the city of Dun Maura. The road to the south leads back to the safety of the city. North is more dense forest. To the west a fresh path has been hacked through the woods. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10064 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10057 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10050 S #10057 A Turn in the Northern Road~ The northern road curves yet again to the north. You wonder why they could not just make a straight road. Then you realize the swamp probably made it impossible. The pond is to the south and it looks like a swamp to the east. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10065 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10058 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10056 S #10058 Swamp~ You frown in disgust as you slosh your way through this bog. It just does not seem like a good day anymore. The swamp is dismal and smelly. The northern road is to the west. Dry forest is north or east. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10066 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10059 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10051 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10057 S #10059 Deep Forest~ Small animals abound in this part of the forest. Most of them are too fast and too suspicious for you to see. You only hear the rufle of leaves as they hide from you. The forest continues in all directions. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10067 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10060 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10058 S #10060 Deep Forest~ Just to the south you see a bridge that crosses some of the swamp. Forest surrounds you on all other sides. This part of the forest seems peaceful. Birds chirping and small animals chattering. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10068 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10061 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10053 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10059 S #10061 Light Forest~ The forest is slowly turning into plains here. To the east you see huge fields of grass. Perfectly level land that you can see for miles. South of you is a large natural crater of some sort. It looks as if the ground had recently just given way. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10069 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10062 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10060 S #10062 Light Forest~ The trees here are all tall hardwoods. Spread far apart so you can see for some distance. To the east the trees grow even more sparse and finally give way to the plains. West will take you back into the thick forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10070 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10063 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10061 S #10063 The Edge of the Plains~ The forest finally gives way to the plains here. Although the plains are perfectly level, allowing you to see for miles, one could easily get lost out there once they lost sight of the forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10071 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10055 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10062 S #10064 Deep Forest~ You find yourself in dense woodland. Hardwoord trees tower above you while small pine and fur trees hug the ground, reducing visibility. The northern road is just south and east of here. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10072 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10056 S #10065 The Northern Road~ You walk along the northern road. The well made path makes travel easy. The road continues north and south. To the east and west is thick forest. You think you can see an intersection of roads to the north. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10073 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10057 S #10066 Deep Forest~ Pine and fir trees are everywhere in this part of the woods. You seem to have found some sort of trail leading north and south between them. You brush past the trees thankful for the bed of pine needles that quiets your footsteps. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10074 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10058 S #10067 Deep Forest~ More pine, fur, and cedar trees make you push limbs aside and force your way through the underbrush. Cobwebs cling to your face and sticks keep seeming to try and poke you in the eye. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10075 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10068 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10059 S #10068 Light Forest~ You make it to a small clearing where the trees no longer crowd you. The forest continues in all directions. To the north you think you can see the northern road. South looks like more swamp. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10076 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10069 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10060 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10067 S #10069 Light Forest~ The noise of wild animals keeps distracting you. You wonder if there are any dangerous animals in these woods. Childhood stories of viscious minotaurs spark sudden fears. They were just stories to kep the children inside the city walls, weren't they? ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10077 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10061 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10068 S #10070 Light Forest~ The forest is light and cheery here. You forget about all your worries and enjoy the fine scenery. Nothing to worry about here. Just a bunch of harmless little forest animals. Then again, maybe some of these animals are not so harmless. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10078 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10062 S #10071 The Edge of the Plains~ Plains continue in all directions except for the forest to the west. You think of the stories about the plains of lost souls and wonder whether those were just stories or actually true. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10079 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10063 S #10072 Deep Forest~ The forest is thick with huge elms and maples. Just to the north you can make out a small road of some sort. It definitely is not the northern road which you believe is due east of where you are. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10080 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10064 S #10073 A Turn in the Northern Road~ The northern road turns to the east or south from here. You notice another smaller road leading off to the north. It looks like it has been rarely used. Which way to go? How about the one less travelled? ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10081 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10074 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10065 S #10074 The Northern Road~ The northern road continues east and west from here.

Thick forest are to the north and south. The road seems a little less travelled through this part.

The main road lies to the west the forest stretches out in all other directions. This road looks like it has not been used for years. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10084 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10077 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10068 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10075 S #10077 A Bend in the Small Road~ The road turns to the north or west from here. Forest lies to the south and the start of the plains is to the east. This road is covered with grass and even a few small trees. It looks like no one has travelled it for years. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10085 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10078 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10069 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10076 S #10078 Light Forest~ A small road lies just to the west and the plains are to the east. North and south is even more forest. It seems no one ever comes this deep into the woods. All the animals seem to be staring at you. ~ 100 0 3 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10070 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10077 S #10079 The Edge of the Plains~ The plains are stretch out for miles. You actually miss the confines of the woods compared to this open vulnerability. To the north you can see a small road. You occasionally notice the sway of the grass on the plains as something or someone moves stealthily through. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10087 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10071 S #10080 A Small Road~ The road is completely overgrown here and you can't tell which way it was meant to go. It looks like it might continue to the east, or you can enter the forest to the south. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10081 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10072 S #10081 A Small Road~ The road here is starting to fade back into the land. Few traces actually remain that allow you to determine which way it goes. It looks like it continues to the west and to the south. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10088 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10082 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10073 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10080 S #10082 Deep Forest~ The forest is thick and dismal. The northern road is to the east while another smaller road lies to the west. Small animals sit and stare at you instead of running away. They must not be used to seeing trespassers. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10083 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10081 S #10083 The Northern Road~ The northern road goes north or south from here. It seems you must be coming close to Dun Maura by now. You have been travelling forever. Fewer people seem to be on the road anymore. You are not sure if that is a good or bad sign. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10090 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10084 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10075 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10082 S #10084 Light Forest~ The trees open up into small fields. To the east you can see a small road. The road also seems to curve to the south.

You think to the west you can see the northern road. You look for any signs of life, but find nothing. It seems you are deep into the wilderness where few dare go. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10086 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10077 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10084 S #10086 A Small Road~ This road is completely overgrown here.

Few animals can be seen or heard. To the south you can make out a small road. To the north you think you can see some sort of wall. Could it be the city of the minotaurs at last? ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10094 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10089 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10081 S #10089 Deep Forest~ Thick forest surrounds you. It feels suffocating and you wonder if you may be getting a little claustrophobic. To the south you can make out the northern road. North you can just barely see some sort of wall. Definitely not natures work. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10095 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10090 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10088 S #10090 Near the End of the Northern Road~ At last you have almost made it to the end of the great northern road. Just to the north you can see the city of the minotaurs. A great wall surrounds the entire city. You wonder about heading back south to safety. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10096 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10091 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10083 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10089 S #10091 Light Forest~ The northern road is just west of you. To the north you can see the famed city of minotaurs. The woods here are very dark and quiet. Few creaturs seem to live in these parts. A gloom seems to hang over this forest. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10097 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10092 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10084 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10090 S #10092 Light Forest~ Although the forest seems thin in this part you start feeling a sense of gloom and despair. The woods seem to look darker by the minute. Something is definitely wrong with this part of the woods, but you can not tell what. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10093 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10091 S #10093 Edge of the Plains~ Barren plains stretch east and south from here. Just to the north you see the walls of a city. West you can enter a dark forest. A wind blows from the east, bringing with it an unseasonal chill. ~ 100 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 10099 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10086 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10092 S #10094 Beside the City Walls of Dun Maura~ You stand before the towering city walls of the minotaurs. The forest has been cut back away from the walls to allow good visibility for defense. The gate of the city must be to the east. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10095 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10088 S #10095 Beside the City Walls of Dun Maura~ The walls of the city look to be made from huge blocks of granite like rock. You couldn't imagine any human being able to life such things. The walls are definite eye sores, but they serve their purpose well. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10096 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10089 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10094 S #10096 Before the City of Dun Maura~ You stand before the gates of the city of minotaurs. Unfortunately, the gates are closed and they look like they have been that way for quite some time. You can search the city walls east and west or head back south towards home. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10097 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10090 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10095 S #10097 Beside the City Walls of Dun Maura~ The walls tower above you. Nothing seems to be moving up there, but you can not help but wonder if someone has a bow pointed at you from above. You should probably move a little deeper into the woods away from the walls before you find out. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10098 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 10091 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10096 S #10098 Beside the City Walls of Dun Maura~ The wall of the city of minotaurs blocks you from going any further north. The gates to the city must be west from here. The forest south looks very gloomy. To the east is more of the city wall that heads out into the plains. ~ 100 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 10099 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 10097 S #10099 Beside the City Walls of Dun Maura~ The plains go for miles to the south and east.
