[ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1193 Mana:5 Secs:26 > A Rustic, Heavily Tread Path You swish through packed, fallen leaves along this path. Light twigs and branches crunch under your steps as you pass under the large branches overhead. The forest is too thick to move east or west, so you might as well continue in a straight direction. You notice the walls of a village to the south, while an impressive view of a mountain range can be seen to the northwest. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1191 Mana:5 Secs:26 > A Heavily Beaten Path Through the Forest The path takes a sudden turn here, as it attempts to cut through the tightly packed trees. What is left of any grasses or shrubbery along the path has been crushed beyond recognition. The path continues westward, where you see a huge mountain range in the distance, and south further into the forest. To the east, the trees thin out drastically, exposing a mighty cliff.

You hear the sounds of civilization further to the south, where the path continues. There is a small clearing to your west, where you notice a crossroads sitting. Looking westward you see the edge of a huge crescent shaped mountain range. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1187 Mana:5 Secs:24 > w A Small Clearing in the Dense Forest Path The trees become somewhat shorter and more sparse here, maybe because you could be nearing the edge of the forest. The shrubbery and plants are short, and the path is covered more with grasses, instead of thick branches and leaves. There is a crossroad to your west, and the path itself continues to the east. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1186 Mana:5 Secs:24 > w A Bare Crossroads on the Wooded Path You stand at a small crossroads in the forest, with the forest trail continuing north and east, and a less densely packed trail to the west. It seems that the trail west has been a bit more traveled and somewhat easier to follow than northward. [ Exits: n e w ] A small wooden sign tilts to one side here. HP:941 Move:1184 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w A Path Through the Forest Clearing The clearing stretches here, cut by a small but well traveled path. Small, barefoot prints can be seen in some patches of mud, making you wonder what could possibly be in this direction. You see the peaks of a mountain range reach far into the skies to the west, while the small path continues to the east. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1183 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w The Edge of a Forest Clearing The forest completely clears here, as you step into an open field. To the east sits the thickening forest wall, while to the west you can see a large formal road. Travel to the north and south further is hindered by thick briars. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1181 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w The Clearing Narrows into the Aregean Way The small path starts to open to a formal road here leading west. You notice that the once open clearing is starting to narrow into a thin forest again, into which the road disappears. Far to the west, a huge mountain range can be seen standing high above the clouds. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1179 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w The Aregean Way You are hemmed in by trees on both sides of the road, and the trees are so overgrown that it is barely possible to see the sky above. To the west the road leads on towards the smell of the sea, and to the east you can see the tree tops of a thick forest. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1177 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w The Aregean Way The trees start to thin on this portion of the road giving you a rare chance to look at the sky and the road ahead, although the change in the scenery is not impressive. You still have no choice but to continue west or to return east. [ Exits: e w ] HP:941 Move:1175 Mana:5 Secs:23 > w A Fork in the Road The trees have continued to thin revealing the split of the Northern and Southern Aregean Way. A sign placed just before the fork informs you of your limited options for travel. To the north you can make out the continuing forest and white mountain peaks beyond. To the south the trees remain thinned leading up to the edge of some rolling hills. [ Exits: n e s ] A small, handpainted sign is posted here.

The trees have been frozen in time, leaving a beautiful and unchanging landscape along this pathway. A fork in the path lays back to the south, while further to the north you can spot the peak of a large mountain rising over the tops of the petrified trees. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1171 Mana:5 Secs:17 > n A Path Through the Petrified Forest The path continues to cut through the ancient petrified trees, serving as a common causeway between Tanstaafl and Orken Mountain. The branches have petrified in place, never to move or sway again, forever damned to be frozen in time. A large white mountain peak can be seen far to the north, raising high above the petrified tree tops. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1170 Mana:5 Secs:17 > n A Bend in the Dense Forest Path A large outcropping of petrified trees form a natural wall directly to your north, preventing further travel in this direction.

HP:941 Move:1169 Mana:5 Secs:16 > w A Dense Path Through the Petrified Trees The trees seem to be less dense along this part of the path, allowing you to see slightly deeper into the forest itself. Nothing more than twisted branches and gnarled trunks are visible however, while movement of any type is nonexistent in every corner of the forest. The path continues to the north and bends slightly to the east here. [ Exits: n e ] HP:941 Move:1168 Mana:5 Secs:15 > n A Path Through the Ancient Petrified Trees The petrified branches of the ancient trees twist and stretch above and along the path, creating a natural tunnel and canopy. The long process of petrification has transformed the trees from living organisms to lifeless stones, and has in affect prevented any creatures from surviving in these conditions. The only sounds are the crunches of your footsteps and the howls of the lonely wind gusts. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1167 Mana:5 Secs:14 > n Along a Petrified Forest Path The path continues through the petrified trees here, leading closer to the rising mountain to the north. The emptiness of the forest produces a strong feeling of loneliness along with an eerie uneasiness. The solitude though also brings a feeling of slight comfort at the realization that a horrific monster won't be waiting around the next bend. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1166 Mana:5 Secs:13 > n A Path Through the Dense Petrified Forest The eerie silence of the empty forest seems to echo deafeningly off of the petrified trees, and resonate unbearably in your sound deprived ears. The only relief from the tranquil hush seems to lay far to your north, at the base of a rising mountain. The forest path also continues off to the south. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1165 Mana:5 Secs:13 > n Along the Dense Petrified Pathway Further along this unique path there seems to be a bend in the path, due to some fallen trunks. The petrified branches continue to twist and curl along the edges of the footpath, while the densely packed trees prevent anyone from venturing off the path. The pathway runs further off to the south toward thinner and lighter colored trees. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1164 Mana:5 Secs:13 > n Before a Mound of Fallen Petrified Trees The weight of the petrified trees has forced a few trunks here to collapse into a heavy solid heap, preventing further northward travel. The path winds its way to the west, determined to find a way around the mound and push on toward the rising mountain peak. The dense petrified forest seems to lighten further to the south from here.

HP:941 Move:1163 Mana:5 Secs:12 > w A Curve in the Dense Forest Pathway The rustic forest path comes to a bend here, working its way around petrified obstructions. The peak of the mountain to the north is getting closer, and you begin to make out large creatures lumbering along its winding paths. The pathway continues eastward past a mound of petrified logs. [ Exits: n e ] HP:941 Move:1162 Mana:5 Secs:12 > n A Rustic Path Through the Petrified Forest The mountain peak to the north is noticeably closer, yet the near silence of the petrified forest is still constant. The path continues to cut through the forest deeper to the north, and leads back toward civilization to the south. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1161 Mana:5 Secs:11 > n A Rustic Path Through the Petrified Forest The ancient branches have twisted and curled about one another forming a beatiful canopy overhead, and set permanently in place through a long period of petrification. The dense forest and thick trunks prevent a clear view into the depths of the forest, while the dead silence and absence of life remain the forests most intriguing trait. The path continues to the north and south here. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1160 Mana:5 Secs:10 > n A Canopied Section of Twisted Branches Here, the petrified branches overhead seem to twist and merge together, until they form a rather thick mesh directly above you, blocking out the view of the sky. The trees they are attached to form an oblong ring around the section of your path, as though the spot you are standing in holds some deep spiritual significance. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1159 Mana:5 Secs:10 > n A Rustic Path Lined By Large Petrified Trunks All around you, petrified trunks emerge from the ground, their branches stretching all around you in strange, gnarled formations. The air is extremely quiet all around you, as no animals have found this forest fit to be home, and this brings a sense of peace and calm over you. [ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1158 Mana:5 Secs:10 > n 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. The path winds its way past the obstruction to the west and south. [ Exits: s w ] HP:941 Move:1157 Mana:5 Secs:9 > nAlas, you cannot go that way...

[ Exits: n e ] HP:941 Move:1156 Mana:5 Secs:8 > n A Footpath Through the Ancient Petrified Trees The path here continues its winding passage through the quiet forest, its petrified trunks and branches casting strange, wispy shadows all across your path.

[ Exits: n s ] HP:941 Move:1155 Mana:5 Secs:5 > n A Pathway Through the Petrified Forest The path continues through the forest, its inhabitants surrounding you as silent, stone pillars.

HP:941 Move:1153 Mana:5 Secs:4 > w A Winding Passage Through the Petrified Forest The path here continues its winding as it offers you quite a scenic tour of the petrified giants that have stood the test of time all around you. You notice the extreme lack of noise from any life here, as the forest, once teeming with a large animal population, has mutated into something that could no longer support it. [ Exits: e s ] HP:941 Move:1152 Mana:5 Secs:4 > s A Pathway Through the Silent Petrified Forest The road here continues its drastic winding before finally straightening out to the north. All around you are the stone giants of the centuries past, trees that have chosen to surpass death and become petrified in time and immune to its ravages. [ Exits: n w ] HP:941 Move:1151 Mana:5 Secs:3 > w On a Path Through the Petrified Forest To the north you see that three trees have actually grown sideways across the path, intertwining around themselves before becoming petrified over the centuries.

The blood splattered all over the wall worries you that something horrible must of happened here to some unfortunate soul. The rocks to the east and west are loose enough that they could fall at any minute. [ Exits: n s ] HP:1590 Move:1660 Mana:499 Secs:45 > s An Old Mine Tunnel There is a mining car here filled with rocks. It doesn't look as if someone abandoned it, it appears that someone was attacked and dragged off to the north. Whoever it was they must have lost a finger. There finger is covered with a considerable amount of blood, wiping some of blood off you can tell it looks like a human finger. This man will no longer be digging for treasures. Something or someone saw him as a treasure and dragged him off. [ Exits: n s ] A dwarven miner is here, busily digging for precious gems.

There are large teeth marks on the bones of the wolf. The skull has suffered massive damage and is twisted in a painful way. The wolf died a quick death from someone. You can see light just ahead to the south where the tunnel opens up. You can hear sounds of hammers and voices from the southern end of the tunnel.

[ Exits: n s ] HP:1590 Move:1656 Mana:499 Secs:40 > s Just Before the Opening in the Mine Tunnel You are just before the entrance to the mine tunnel. Light shines through from the south. The busy life of a town echoes through the tunnel. Guards and common folk can be heard very well as they go about there bustling lives. Their smoked meats could drive a man insane if he didn't get some. You can clearly identify the smell of ham and pork in the air. Anyone would love to get some of those cooked meats. [ Exits: n s ] HP:1590 Move:1655 Mana:499 Secs:40 > s Opening of a Old Mine Tunnel into a Field The tunnel opens up in a small forest. Little creatures inhabit this place with almost no attention to your existence. Some tasty looking fruits and vegetables are growing here. A small bush is on the eastern side with some nice ripe red berries growing on it. The animals have consumed a fair amount of the fruits and vegetables but there is still plenty for yourself to take. You should leave it for the animals to eat, who knows how long it will last with the rate they are eating it. [ Exits: n s u ] HP:1590 Move:1654 Mana:499 Secs:39 > s A Road Through an Open Field A road forms here in the field and heads on south. You can see a gate to the south just ahead. Hopefully the people from this village are friendly and inviting. Actually it doesn't look that bad but more like a warm inviting place. Then the wind changes and you catch a whiff of those beautiful meats. They must have one hell of a cook working there. Just before the gate there is a stone bridge across a large stream. The bridge was made by a fine craftsman indeed, there must have been a lot of planning in it's construction. A stone bridge of this type could only have been made by the finest dwarves around. Accurate stones like these could have only been mined by a dwarf in the deepest caves in the world. [ Exits: n s ] A large bear stands here, drooling on you. HP:1590 Move:1653 Mana:499 Secs:39 > s A Stone Bridge Across a Stream A stream flows gently underneath the bridge with crystal clear water. You can see a tent on the west side of the road just south a bit. A family must be camping in the field. The stream would provide a great spot for a camping site. You can see a man fishing in the stream beside his tent and campfire. There is a large redwood tree to the north with birds chirping away. You can just barely make out a tunnel or perhaps a cave in the hillside to the north. [ Exits: n s ] A sign, rotting away through the ages, is at the end of the bridge.

It's a good thing they are so busy with the flowers they don't notice your presence. They would most likely attack you if they knew you where standing so close to them.

Entrance to the Barracks of Lerges There is a military barracks to the east. The Road of the Slingers starts just south of this room. The gates of Lerges are directly north. The gates are made of iron and have a wooden cross on the outside. The Tower of Serlon stands tall to the west. It is probably the towns best protection from attackers or any meat-eating animals that may try to slip in at night. It's surprising that the town is much smaller than it looks from the north.

There are drag marks to a platform with a noose hanging from a wooden beam. The town center is just beyond the platform and you can see people walking around. The butcher shop you've been smelling so much is next to the town center. The road to the town center is made of flat stones up to a small garden where it loops around and continues on south. Some of the stones are crooked and most are covered with a lot of dirt. A town clean up could bring this run down place into something much more like a city. It looks as if a beaver helped them construct there buildings out of mud and logs. [ Exits: n s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1728 Mana:669 Secs:59 > You follow Zelrox. The Town Intersection You first notice the flower garden that causes the road to split and loop around it. The flowers are drying up and the soil they are growing in isnt much better. A small fence is holding the dirt from spilling onto the road. A fence or not wouldn't make much difference since it's so dry it's probably a rock anyways. There is a stadium with a noose on it and you can see a man in the stocks. His white beard gives you the idea he is very old and will probably die in the stocks if he is out in the sun too long. There are some villagers on a small farm by the town center. They are working hard digging, planting, and some other farming tasks. [ Exits: n e s w ] An ancient, stone well extends deep into the ground here. Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here.

The road is nothing more than a dirt path, with grass on the edges. It meets the west gate and continues beyond a thick forest.

It doesn't want to open and it isn't locked. Then you take notice to all the rust that has formed around the gate, it hasn't been used in years. Smoke would take some hard work to get this gate open, it would be best to just tear it down and rebuild it. The forest road continues off to the east to the beside the jail cells and the gallows. You can see a thick forest beyond the gate, it could be possible to climb over the gate. Little footing makes it very difficult, there must be another way through the gate.

It is a little smaller than the main gate and doesn't have a cross. It doesn't want to open and it isn't locked. Then you take notice to all the rust that has formed around the gate, it hasn't been used in years. Smoke would take some hard work to get this gate open, it would be best to just tear it down and rebuild it. The forest road continues off to the east to the beside the jail cells and the gallows. You can see a thick forest beyond the gate, it could be possible to climb over the gate. Little footing makes it very difficult, there must be another way through the gate. [ Exits: n e w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1729 Mana:693 Secs:45 > You follow Zelrox. The Forest Road The west gate blocks the forest road and then it continues beyond the gate. This road is nothing more than a dirt path with grass on the edges. The dirt has started to sink into the ground for some odd reason. Animals have to be burrowing under the road or perhaps a spring is flowing under the road. You can see a peasants cart to the east with plenty of wheat in it. [ Exits: e w d ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. An elven villager is here, lazily sleeping on the job. HP:2022 Move:1728 Mana:693 Secs:45 > You follow Zelrox. The Forest Road This is the end of the forest road, east the road of the slingers runs north and south through town. The road is nothing more than a dirt path, with grass on the edges. It meets the west gate and continues beyond a thick forest. The dirt has started to sink into the ground for some odd reason, animals must be digging holes under the road. A peasants cart has been left here, it is full of wheat for the town kitchen. The remaining wheat will be used for animal feed through the winter. [ Exits: n e w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1727 Mana:693 Secs:44 > You follow Zelrox. The Town Intersection You first notice the flower garden that causes the road to split and loop around it. The flowers are drying up and the soil they are growing in isnt much better. A small fence is holding the dirt from spilling onto the road. A fence or not wouldn't make much difference since it's so dry it's probably a rock anyways. There is a stadium with a noose on it and you can see a man in the stocks. His white beard gives you the idea he is very old and will probably die in the stocks if he is out in the sun too long. There are some villagers on a small farm by the town center. They are working hard digging, planting, and some other farming tasks. [ Exits: n e s w ] An ancient, stone well extends deep into the ground here. Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1726 Mana:693 Secs:44 > You follow Zelrox. Road of the Slingers The city barracks is beyond the wall to the east, it's walls are old and rotted. There are drag marks to a platform with a noose hanging from a wooden beam. The town center is just beyond the platform and you can see people walking around. The butcher shop you've been smelling so much is next to the town center. The road to the town center is made of flat stones up to a small garden where it loops around and continues on south. Some of the stones are crooked and most are covered with a lot of dirt. A town clean up could bring this run down place into something much more like a city. It looks as if a beaver helped them construct there buildings out of mud and logs. [ Exits: n s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. A female villager is performing her daily chores here. HP:2022 Move:1725 Mana:693 Secs:43 > You follow Zelrox. Entrance to the Barracks of Lerges There is a military barracks to the east. The Road of the Slingers starts just south of this room. The gates of Lerges are directly north. The gates are made of iron and have a wooden cross on the outside. The Tower of Serlon stands tall to the west. It is probably the towns best protection from attackers or any meat-eating animals that may try to slip in at night. It's surprising that the town is much smaller than it looks from the north. [ Exits: n e s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. A sad, homeless man stands here, watching the children play. Three orbs of magic float silently around him! A female guard is here watching over the gate. A gate guard is here, cautiously watching over the gate. HP:2022 Move:1724 Mana:693 Secs:43 > You follow Zelrox. At the Main Gate You are standing before the main gate to Lerges. The gate is made of iron and a wooden cross has been hung on the front. The walls are made of timber and are built to withstand a great amount of force. You can see a watchtower a little south of here with green moss growing up the side. You sense that the guards here are really devoted to there town and religion. You can see much of there equipment has a cross on it and coated in silver. Dark smoke rises from the many shops in town. It seems to be very peaceful town, but the guards are quiet and do not speak often. Wooden boards hang over the front of the gate darkening the room. [ Exits: n s ] A small deerhide bag with a long shoulder strap lies here. An ivory handled rapier is stuck in the ground. A rapier has been tossed aside here. A black scrunchie has been tossed aside here. A piece of red cloth has been thrown to the side. A piece of wood that has been fashioned into a torch lies here. Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. A huge tree towers over you, watching the room menacingly. Irwin the Enchantress is standing here with the guards. Three orbs of magic float silently around her! Earl the gate guard is resting here at his post. HP:2022 Move:1723 Mana:693 Secs:43 > You follow Zelrox. Road Before the Main Gate You are standing on the road just before the main gates to Lerges. You can see two guards, a women, and a animal at the gate. There is a brown tent to the west with someone whistling a jolly tune. There is a crack in the road where some flowers have popped through. A few bees are buzzing around them. It's a good thing they are so busy with the flowers they don't notice your presence. They would most likely attack you if they knew you where standing so close to them. [ Exits: n s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1722 Mana:693 Secs:43 > You follow Zelrox. A Stone Bridge Across a Stream A stream flows gently underneath the bridge with crystal clear water. You can see a tent on the west side of the road just south a bit. A family must be camping in the field. The stream would provide a great spot for a camping site. You can see a man fishing in the stream beside his tent and campfire. There is a large redwood tree to the north with birds chirping away. You can just barely make out a tunnel or perhaps a cave in the hillside to the north. [ Exits: n s ] A sign, rotting away through the ages, is at the end of the bridge. Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. A large bear stands here, drooling on you. HP:2022 Move:1721 Mana:693 Secs:43 > A female gate guard yells, 'Guards! An evil creature has made it past the gates!' You follow Zelrox. A Road Through an Open Field A road forms here in the field and heads on south. You can see a gate to the south just ahead. Hopefully the people from this village are friendly and inviting. Actually it doesn't look that bad but more like a warm inviting place. Then the wind changes and you catch a whiff of those beautiful meats. They must have one hell of a cook working there. Just before the gate there is a stone bridge across a large stream. The bridge was made by a fine craftsman indeed, there must have been a lot of planning in it's construction. A stone bridge of this type could only have been made by the finest dwarves around. Accurate stones like these could have only been mined by a dwarf in the deepest caves in the world.

Little creatures inhabit this place with almost no attention to your existence. Some tasty looking fruits and vegetables are growing here. A small bush is on the eastern side with some nice ripe red berries growing on it. The animals have consumed a fair amount of the fruits and vegetables but there is still plenty for yourself to take. You should leave it for the animals to eat, who knows how long it will last with the rate they are eating it. [ Exits: n s u ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1719 Mana:693 Secs:41 > You follow Zelrox. Just Before the Opening in the Mine Tunnel You are just before the entrance to the mine tunnel. Light shines through from the south. The busy life of a town echoes through the tunnel. Guards and common folk can be heard very well as they go about there bustling lives. Their smoked meats could drive a man insane if he didn't get some. You can clearly identify the smell of ham and pork in the air. Anyone would love to get some of those cooked meats. [ Exits: n s ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1718 Mana:693 Secs:41 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel Water drips on you from above and all down your body.

HP:2022 Move:1717 Mana:693 Secs:41 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel The skeleton of a wolf lies against the eastern wall. There are large teeth marks on the bones of the wolf. The skull has suffered massive damage and is twisted in a painful way. The wolf died a quick death from someone. You can see light just ahead to the south where the tunnel opens up. You can hear sounds of hammers and voices from the southern end of the tunnel. You can just barely smell fresh meats and hear the sounds of a village or a small city. [ Exits: s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1716 Mana:693 Secs:41 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel The tunnel leads on to the east then turns back south again with stronger supports and a much safer feeling. You can hear the sounds of water dripping to the north. You can hear some kind of scratching to the north. Your mind must be playing tricks on you, nothing could live in such a place. [ Exits: n e ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. A dwarven miner is here, busily digging for precious gems. HP:2022 Move:1715 Mana:693 Secs:40 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel There is a mining car here filled with rocks. It doesn't look as if someone abandoned it, it appears that someone was attacked and dragged off to the north. Whoever it was they must have lost a finger. There finger is covered with a considerable amount of blood, wiping some of blood off you can tell it looks like a human finger. This man will no longer be digging for treasures. Something or someone saw him as a treasure and dragged him off. [ Exits: n s ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1714 Mana:693 Secs:39 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel The water runs along a crack in the wall and then seems to disappear. Now that most of the water is gone your nose clearly shows it's approval by no longer burning. You can also see a trail of blood leading to the south with some strange animal tracks. The blood splattered all over the wall worries you that something horrible must of happened here to some unfortunate soul. The rocks to the east and west are loose enough that they could fall at any minute. [ Exits: n s ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1713 Mana:693 Secs:39 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel Your mind worries that the tunnel will collapse when you walk through it. There are puddles of water flowing from a stream to the west. Horrible smelling mud has formed from the stream. The mud looks as if you could sink right in and never be seen again. It has some beauty in it given off from the shiny minerals that sparkle off your light. You gaze at the minerals magnificent beauty only to be reminded again of the horrible stench. You feel it would be best to just run as fast as you can out of this disgusting tunnel. [ Exits: s w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1712 Mana:693 Secs:39 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel The mine makes a sharp turn to the east. The air to the east doesn't offer a very pleasant smell.

HP:2022 Move:1710 Mana:693 Secs:37 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel You can make out a 3-way intersection to the east. The stream continues on from the east to the south creating more mud for you to sink in. A burned out lantern hangs on the wall where it once light the mine tunnel. This mine hasn't had many visitors for a long time. Some blood has dried onto one of the beams in the shape of a hand. [ Exits: e s ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here. HP:2022 Move:1709 Mana:693 Secs:37 > You follow Zelrox. An Old Mine Tunnel The tunnel splits into a way leaving your exits either east, west, or north. The tunnel to the east doesn't look very strong and sturdy. The west has a decent supply of supports but the stream runs west and probably weakened the supports. To the north you can see what you think could possibly be light, but it's to far away to be sure. [ Exits: n e w ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here.

The light from the mine shaft is beginning to disappear and complete darkness is beginning to consume the entire tunnel. The stream has created mud puddles and everywhere you step your feet sink into the mud. The mud has taken the life of a small cat. Its corpse has rotted away and left fur covering the bones of the once living animal. [ Exits: n s ] Zelrox Savage Forest Stalker is standing here.

Before a Dying Tree This section of the forest looks strange, for while all around you are gray, petrified trees, the tree before you looks as though it recently had some life.

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.

A Canopied Section of Twisted Branches Here, the petrified branches overhead seem to twist and merge together, until they form a rather thick mesh directly above you, blocking out the view of the sky.

A Rustic Path Through the Petrified Forest The ancient branches have twisted and curled about one another forming a beatiful canopy overhead, and set permanently in place through a long period of petrification. The dense forest and thick trunks prevent a clear view into the depths of the forest, while the dead silence and absence of life remain the forests most intriguing trait.

Before a Mound of Fallen Petrified Trees The weight of the petrified trees has forced a few trunks here to collapse into a heavy solid heap, preventing further northward travel.

A lookout tower made from thick wood sits above your head, while the guard barracks and a supplies room lay on either side of you.

[ Exits: e w ] HP:1810 Move:1643 Mana:339 Secs:32 > An Opening to a Large Carved Tunnel The opening to the tunnel is quite large, and rather dark. It is obvious by the markings on the walls that the tunnel has been hand carved through the plateau to make way for the Grand Thoroughfare. The walls of the tunnel are lined with torches, but your eyes have not adjusted yet from the natural sunlight. The road through the cave looks as though it has been well traveled, so you feel somewhat safer as you travel into its depths. [ Exits: e w ] A travelling merchant is hurrying along here. HP:1810 Move:1642 Mana:339 Secs:32 > Within the Eastern Entrance to the Tunnel Your eyes begin to adjust to the dim torch lighting with each step.

A large stone ramp gradually descends next to the staircase, allowing carts to pass as well. [ Exits: n d ] HP:1810 Move:1638 Mana:339 Secs:32 > At the Base of a Natural Rock Staircase You stand at the base of a natural rock staircase.

There is also a carved ramp running alongside of the staircase to allow carts to travel through the tunnel as well. [ Exits: s u ] A travelling merchant is hurrying along here. HP:1810 Move:1637 Mana:339 Secs:32 > A Swift Turn in the Tunnel As you step around the corner of the tunnel, you find yourself ankle deep in a small puddle.

HP:1810 Move:1634 Mana:339 Secs:31 > A Huge Passage Through the Carved Tunnel A steady drip can be heard in one of the shadows, obviously the product of the moisture coated walls and ceiling.

HP:1810 Move:1632 Mana:339 Secs:31 > A Gradual Incline Within the Tunnel Large torches attached to the walls brightly burn to light the long dark tunnel.

[ Exits: e w ] HP:1810 Move:1630 Mana:339 Secs:31 > A Huge Tunnel Through the Hillside You stand within a tunnel that has obviously been carved through the cliffs of the plateau by man. This unnatural cave allows Travellers to journey under the plateau to the opposite side. The walls of the tunnel are decorated by large torches which keep the tunnel quite bright. [ Exits: e w ] HP:1810 Move:1629 Mana:339 Secs:31 > Before a Carved Entrance in the Hillside It looks as though the plains through which this road cuts come to an abrupt end at the face of this plateau. A large cliff stands before you and extends far to your north, yet you notice that the top of the cliff is completely flat. Instead of working around the cliff, the builders had cut a large tunnel right through it to prevent a disrupt in travel for whom the Thoroughfare was originally built for. The road continues farther into the tunnel to the east. [ Exits: e w ] HP:1810 Move:1628 Mana:339 Secs:31 > A Sharp Bend in the Thoroughfare The road turns here, leading east to a large man-made cave and to the north leading toward Moldavia.

[ Exits: s w ] HP:1810 Move:1624 Mana:339 Secs:30 > A Straight in the Grand Thoroughfare The road continues west for a distance before meeting another bend, while directly to your east sits a sharp bend in the Thoroughfare.

[ Exits: e w ] HP:1810 Move:1623 Mana:339 Secs:30 > A Straight in the Grand Thoroughfare To the east you notice a high plateau rising above the road and the plains.

[ Exits: n s ] A travelling merchant is hurrying along here. HP:1810 Move:1612 Mana:339 Secs:29 > The Grand Thoroughfare You stroll along the northwardly facing stones as you head to your desired destination. Although the wind blowing off of the plains is quite calm, it is just loud enough to muffle the sounds of the Travellers in the distance. You pause for a minute to try to make out an argument between two gentlemen behind you, but continue on your way when you realize your efforts are futile. [ Exits: n s ] HP:1810 Move:1611 Mana:339 Secs:29 > The Grand Thoroughfare You notice that the large stones of the street change direction with each curve of the road.

Moldavia has been called by many "the world within the walls", for it seems every race imaginable and every vice or virtue thinkable can be found here. Most of the townspeople of Moldavia are entirely illiterate, especially the poor. As a result the shopkeepers use a system of carved or painted pictures on their signs to let the people know what is available.
