chair. Five bone-china plates have been washed, dried and laid. The addition of
five little pepperpots and five little saltmills show a proper regard for
anyone's palate and five finely-folded serviettes complete this study in
perfect house-keeping. There is a large chalkboard here that warrants closer
scrutiny. A raised dais of obsidian stone flares with the fires from a

polished wood contain works of a variety of study, both fictional and factual,
although a preponderance are of recipes or other gastronomic articles. The

five little pepperpots and five little saltmills show a proper regard for

An avenue flanked by cacti.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky.
Battle-weary cacti face eachother in dense stands on either side of this
wind-swept avenue, their spines a tangle of curved scimitars. Under a striped
awning, a doorway offers entry into an outbuilding of some kind.
You see exits leading east (open door) and west.

Continuing along a path.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. Directly below a pair of
wilting Creosote bushes, an wide area of flattened yellow grasses implies
something has recently slept here. Vertebrae and larger bones of unidentifiable
origin have been tossed into untidy heaps, any flesh having been stripped clean
away. To the east, a narrow avenue is partly obscured by regiments of blue-grey
cacti.

Along a path.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. An entirely nondescript path
at this juncture gradually descends towards a single sprawling one-storey
building further towards the northeast, its boundary a series of tidy picket
fences and stands of cacti that form informal avenues. A gentle musical score
is being played from somewhere in that direction, although some parts of it are
being carried away by humid and sulky breezes.

Beside a felled Baobob tree.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. At a clearing in the midst of
a curious mixture of jungle and desert terrains, a massive tree-stump is all
that remains of an aged Baobob tree, recently felled. Various coarse grasses
have started to grow in the area once shaded by bough and twig, and as if in
mourning for its host, a couple of vines embrace the stump itself. The
beginnings of a pathway head northwards. A rune-etched crimson mask wreathed in
divine flames floats near the base of an imposing pillar of obsidian that
stretches towards the sky here. A white marble gravestone stands vigil here,
memorializing the death of some poor soul.
You see a single exit leading north.

A particular pantry.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. Laid
out on a stone-cold floor are the remains of many a mouth-watering meal, gnawed
quite to the bone. Several jars of relish, pickled items and other condiments
are clearly labelled and stored for use set upon scrubbed wooden shelving
affixed to porcelain-tiled walls. A door facing west serves as the only way in
and out of this, the rear of the Gastronomia Hotel.

Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky.
Everything in this delighfully sunny and fragrant Hall has been duplicated five
times. Five ancient time-pieces, their pendula swinging perfectly in
synchronisation, help pass the time before dinner. Five polished oakenwood
tables are arranged in a pentagon, each with its own attendant plush leather
chair. Five bone-china plates have been washed, dried and laid. The addition of
five little pepperpots and five little saltmills show a proper regard for
anyone's palate and five finely-folded serviettes complete this study in
perfect house-keeping. There is a large chalkboard here that warrants closer
scrutiny. A raised dais of obsidian stone flares with the fires from a
crystalline depression of bluish flame.

The Hall of Banquets.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky.
Everything in this delighfully sunny and fragrant Hall has been duplicated five
times. Five ancient time-pieces, their pendula swinging perfectly in
synchronisation, help pass the time before dinner. Five polished oakenwood
tables are arranged in a pentagon, each with its own attendant plush leather
chair. Five bone-china plates have been washed, dried and laid. The addition of
five little pepperpots and five little saltmills show a proper regard for
anyone's palate and five finely-folded serviettes complete this study in
perfect house-keeping. There is a large chalkboard here that warrants closer
scrutiny. A raised dais of obsidian stone flares with the fires from a
crystalline depression of bluish flame. Shadowbound Ceres is here, sprawled on
the floor. She wields an iron shield in her left hand and an athame dagger in
her right.
You see exits leading north (open door), east, southwest, and west.

Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. Set
beside an endearingly childlike fresco depicting nothing in particular, a low
wickerwork table has been laid for a sumptuous meal. A collection of antique
cutlery is in its proper place, with the largest of these, a pair of serrated
knives and spoons, at their correct innermost position. An empty decanter has
been polished to a gleam that occasionally reveals reflections of apparitions
that may or may not have passed through here, at some time or another.

In the ante-room.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky.
Evidently a place to relax and unwind either before or after a meal, an air of
absolute luxury is maintained here. An elaborately detailed box of cigars is
open upon a mantelpiece carved from a single length of bone, a deep-pile
crimson carpet extends into the room to the south and colossal bookcases of
polished wood contain works of a variety of study, both fictional and factual,
although a preponderance are of recipes or other gastronomic articles. The
shadows have been gathered here. Glowing glyphs hang in the air here. Motes of
energy dance around a crystalline power node that pushes up from the ground
here. Shadowbound Ceres is here. She wields an iron shield in her left hand and
an athame dagger in her right. First Sergeant Marcalo De'Unnero is here. He

A corral of ghosts.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. An
orderly picket fence surrounds this charming lawn of the bluest sand, upon
which several tassellated gazelles huddle nervously together in the midst of
their daydreams, their time having come and gone long ago. Most are of a
perfectly healthy disposition -although one may well have been in confrontation
with some predator and wears a grievous wound like a necklace. A whitewashed
building is a little way to the south, a latticework door standing ajar.
Mushrooms are growing here in a perfect circle. First Sergeant Marcalo
De'Unnero is here. He wields an ethereal flail of intricate hues in each hand.
You see exits leading south (open door) and west.

Tuek tells you, "Omg, you killed her in her own retardation! So overpowered."

I had to add the bottom part, Tuek made me laugh

I am overpowered.

Fear me.

Said it before, say it again.

It doesn't count until they get their other three Fae. :/

We can't.

Viravain won't appoint champions, without which we can't get guards to protect our saplings and get totems to protect the Avatars.

What, so you're never going to have access to those three skills ever?

I doubt that somehow.

She should have stayed inside the retardation.

Seeing as she has passive attacks and you don't. It'd be a losing battle.

Most likely, yeah.
