Dark Secret uses her sword to try to harvest some bark

Skyrose decides to head to the West, hoping for the best of things to come to her

finds ruins to the West, with torn cloth banners and leather scraps scattered across the large area. The sunken ruins have an intact staircase leading inward.

finds that the trees are too tough even for her sword. She finds that there are also tough materials the rocks by the southern stream in the zone.

harvests 1 stone and 2 quantum [unidentified] before a kelpari leaps out of the stream, baying incoherently.

stands in Roma's way.

Roma hisses at it. "What do you want??" He demands.

Caspi flies around. "Hello friend! Havent seen you before! You New here? I would think so!" She chatters

Uncertainly, Skyrose flies over to the intact staircase and starts climbing

Dark Secret sighs, then mutters "That's why I need a better sword." Then she goes over to the rocks

answers in pain, teeth gritted. "This is no place to wander about so carelessly. If you slip in, you may never get out again." She looks over the two aeris, as though just now realizing they could fly. ".........." She silently offers a piece of kelp to each of them and not-so-helpfully, offers some advice: "If I were you, I'd leave before something decides to try and eat those beautiful wings off your backs." The Kelpari continues to stand between the two aeris and the stream, waiting for them to leave before returning to the stream.

arrives at the first floor, which is half gone. A half-destroyed staircase continues upward to the second floor. The first floor is in complete disarray, with battle marks, dust, cobwebs, and rust covering most of everything. There are some six doors, one of which is completely broken in, and the farthest one looking the most intact.

spots the Kelpari that also blocks her passage to the rocks at the stream.

bays at the aeris and the vulnyx.

(You swaped Skyrose's picture for Caspi's)

Caspi tilted her head. "Oh." Was all she could offer

Roma looked worried. What beasts should we look out for?" He asked.

Dark Secret shows the Kelpari the sword she has. "I'm looking for better materials to make another sword." Dark Secret says.

Skyrose picks the third door.

Oops. My bad. Now you know why I limit the amount of a certain species one player can have haha.)

thinks Roma's question over carefully before responding. "Morkko have been very aggressive lately, but the one you must avoid at all cost is the Sylvorpa, which can sing magical charms."
She looks over Dark Secret's weapon, and offers advice: "You may find better things to the West, where a cavernous system lies. Beware, however, as I have never been there before."

goes through the door to find a kitchen. A family of mice scurry off as she approaches, seeing that the cupboards are all completely empty and only a single usable pan remains. The stove looks completely beyond repair, and the sink has a slow leak that drips into a crack in the floor.

'Whats your name?" Caspi can speak now.

Roma nods. Thinking this over.

flicks her tail to and fro. "I don't have one. What do you think my name should be?"
