[QUOTE="KenHood, post: 4747438, member: 4413"] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]"I tell ya,"[/COLOR] says the rightmost skull in a stage whisper, [COLOR="yellowgreen"]"I wouldn't mind experiencing the petite death with Vaunea. If you know what I mean..."[/COLOR] --- The beak of the great turtle opens, and its tongue lolls onto to the pier. One would expect the tongue of a giant turtle to be quite 'moist', but this one is not. Also, one would not expect a turtle to have teeth, but this one does. Big, white, shiny teeth the size of small houses. Those on the bottom row are hollowed into shops and fast food restaurants. Most sell [B][COLOR="DarkOrange"]TURTLEDOME![/COLOR][/B] memorabilia, such as plush Migtroth dolls (just 1 GP!) or Doompaloompa action figures. You see a set of pewter statues depicting the Three Storms, a trio of kung fu elementals. You can even buy a chess set [I]made[/I] from discarded pieces of the Legion of Bone! The skull lord leads you over the tongue of the beast, into its esophagus--which (again) seems not at all sticky and unpleasant. In fact, its well lit, with a broad, paved boulevard down the middle, lined with more shops and restaurants. It is extraordinarily clean. Just out of the corner of your eyes, you catch of glimpse of shadowy figures polishing brass or dusting curios. But when you look directly at them, you see nothing. Perhaps they are the damned souls of every adventurer ever to have participated in [B][COLOR="darkorange"]TURTLEDOME![/COLOR][/B] Or not. --- The skull lord leads you behind some shops and unlocks a door marked, "Staff Only." You follow him deeper into the (literal) bowels of the great turtle. --- Up ahead, you see a small group of drow, pleading with a troll that seems bent on giving them the bum's rush.
