The putrid smell of burning flesh fills the air, wafting in on an intangible breeze. Just before it threatens to overwhelm your senses, it vanishes as inexplicable as it came, leaving behind a faint aftertaste.

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Mammillaries creep off the walls in large clusters, narrowing the corridor significantly with their massive bulk. A flow of moonmilk runs off of one of the larger mammillary clusters in an interesting juxtaposition of nomenclatural allusion. A patch of reishi mushroom thrives here.
You see exits leading east and southwest.

Cocking Her head to the side, Czixi stares levelly at Alexandria with an expressionless gaze. "Well?"
Marquessa Alexandria, Minister and Skylark Agent says to Czixi, "I thought I ought to sign up for things formally rather than just showing up unannounced when You might be busy."
"For 'things'," Czixi echoes, Her voice snapping the word short.

Her voice firm and commanding, Terentia, the Even Bladed says to you, "You have kept your oath to Me, Parhelion. You have sworn to maintain Justice in these troubled times."

Kish, the Seeker says, "Need one more." You say, "I'm going to try a different sphere, this one is always bad." You say, "One more?" Kish nods her head emphatically.

You give a basket of vegetables to Geraldine Paoli.

"(Market): Chef Gioia Shucks says, "I've just arrived in Crumkindivia! Will I be able to find some fine food here, I wonder?""
I don't know, Gioia.. will you be?
Psh, Gioia has taste and discernment. All the stuff on Crum is worthless pleb food. What they really want is my 12 platters of bacon wrapped steak stacked on top of each other. That is some fine cuisine.

Banks of clouds roil about here. A strong gale has developed here. The road is an expanse of rippling green crystal, a swathe of glittering emerald from which the road derives its name. Its construction obviously was not of mundane origin, rather its very existence is a tribute to subtle mystic arts. The crystal is slightly bubbled, allowing travellers safe traction upon what otherwise would be a dangerously slick surface. The road climbs up a mountain on Avechna's Teeth, the imposing mountain range to the west. Strong winds gust in over the mountains, chilling the air. Overhead the great crystal spires of Hallifax jut majestically into the skies. A glass globe floats here in mid-air, glistening brightly with a dazzling incandescence. A bloody pool rests here, the collection of blood remaining from an unfortunate fall. With grey-feathered wings unfurled, a tawny gryphon is here, surrounded by a halo of white light.
A bloody pool rests here, the collection of blood remaining from an unfortunate fall. Small bits of bone and bluish-green fur lie within it, though most of the body of whoever had fallen has been shattered and scattered with high speed impact.

2. D-did you guys execute Luce?
That's from the kaelye end-of-the-year event stuff. I actually RP'd with the main kaelye Taimi about it - I figured they'd have taken away the remains of their kin by now. But we may just need to send out some cleaners from the Lower Wards at this point...
According to another thread, the road below isn't technically Hallifaxian territory so the cleaners have no responsibility to it. Think it was in one of the RP logs with them being executed.
