[QUOTE="cdsaint, post: 1685414, member: 1617"] Myrta paddles, and the scummy brown water slides by. As you travel, buildings become more scarce, and the vegetation gets thicker. You start to see patches of land hovering at about the water level. Houses still are built on stilts, and are occasionally close to the ground, but rarely actually on it. Every available bit of ground has thickvegetation on it. Around half the land seems to be gardened, the other half looks wild, and you occasionally see some small pigs in the wild looking patches. Rice fields are planted in most of the shallows. After awhile, there is even more land, and you see some boats, very much like your new boat only longer. The people in them have long spears, and scan the water carefully. Finally, you reach a spot where the trees completely cover the sky, and the land seems to be a bit more prevalent than the water. You haven't seen a building for some time, and the wildlife is more prevalent, and more menacing. Around 11am Myrta pulls the boat up alongside a large tree next to one of it's larger roots. As she ties the boat off, you note that the top of the root is flat, and that cose to the trunk, it seems formed into uneven steps that lead up and around the huge trunk. Many smaller trees cluster close to the large one, forming a wall with many small gaps. [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"I'll wait here. Nothing is likely to bother the boat, but I'll leave you to your business."[/COLOR] Says Myrta. As you follow the "stairs" around the trunk you enter a room (even without a roof it feels like a room) about 30 foot in diameter with a massive Oak in the center. The floor is covered in a thick carpet of soft green moss, and your feet sink into it without a sound. The forest canopy over the room is alive with various birds, singing softly. Abynnon is rising to his feet as you enter. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"Welcome, welcome! I'm so glad you could stop by. I rarely have visitors these days, and out of town visitors are even less likely. Please have a seat, make yourselves comfortable."[/COLOR] He indicates several protrusions from the floor of various sizes and shapes. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"Can I offer you gentlemen a drink, or something to eat? I have some wonderful pepper wine I'm terribly proud of, or of course water. Perhaps some fruit?"[/COLOR] He has no sooner finished asking than a tiny creature mainly formed of leaves and bark walks out bearing a platter bearing 4 wooden cups and 2 wooden pitchers with condensation streaming down their sides. The water is clear and pure, the pepper wine is spicy but not unpleasant. Both are ice cold. Once you are settled Abynnon asks [COLOR=YellowGreen]"So, not that I mind either way, But is this a social call, or was there something I can help you with?"[/COLOR] And looks at you with piercing green eyes.
