At the Base of Orken Mountain The colossal Orken Mountain lies just to the north, where you see a path head directly up what appears to be quite a steep path. On the mountain, you see scores of creatures wandering in and out of tunnels that have been carved in its side, and you imagine that the entire interior of the mountain must have an entire population living within.

Nearing the Base of Orken Mountain You see Orken Mountain looming just ahead to the north now. You are close enough to see some passages and small holes carved into its sides, and wonder just how much life has made its home between its walls. The pathway is almost completely devoid of foliage now, and has been entirely replaced with large rocks, probably having tumbled off the mountain.

It is still a little far away to see many details, but you can see that its size is incredible, and whatever it is that brought you here, it is likely to be found within. You step gingerly amongst the rocks here, as you look almost longingly toward the lush forest off in the far distance. [ Exits: n s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here.

A Path Leading Out of the Petrified Forest The path here widens a bit to give you a view of what you are approaching: Orken Mountain. The mammoth rock straight ahead is known for its frightening creatures within, and treasures for those who may venture deep into its depths. The petrified forest seems to have vanished to the south.

A Path Leading Out of the Petrified Forest The petrified forest seems to end here, as you can no longer see anything that resembles what used to be foliage.

Before the Petrified Redwood Grove To the west and north, a huge grove of redwoods were grown thousands of years ago, and have all become petrified ever since.

At the Base of a Huge, Petrified Log A huge trunk has been toppled from its base nearby, and fallen across your path, effectively blocking any further passage.

Dipping Below a Strand of Petrified Trees Here, the road dips drastically downward, as a huge strand of twisted, intertwining trees have grown over the path, pressing it down in the center and raising it up along the edge.

An Outcropping of Boulders and Petrified Trunks A large cluster of thick dead trunks emerge haphazardly from the ground amidst a pile of boulders. The natural barrier of stone and petrified wood disallows further travel to the north. The wall of trees and boulders is so imposing, in fact, that it is hard to distinguish between the stones and the trunks that are far along in their petrification.
