[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1509919, member: 14316"] Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Eartheart... Pwyoolp "Morph" Ripplepond was amazed at the Gold Dwarf farming cavern. The farms were very well tended, and yielded mushrooms with the most delicate aroma. The farm he was at was owned by a friendly Gold Dwarf named Dukir who he had met in the tunnels, pushing an empty cart of vegetables back home after a long [I]day[/I] at the market. (This was something he had to get used to, these [I]days[/I] that these Dwarves used, based on the sun which travelled across the sky of the surface world...) Dukir explained that the secret was in the soil. They imported soil from the surface world here! And that was not all! They imported all sorts of strange delicacies. At the market there were [I]strawberries[/I], which smelled absolutely delightful. Morph had decided not to try one, but he regretted it now. He could still smell the aroma! How could things like that grow on the surface world? Wouldn't the vermin eat them before they could be harvested? If Morph were a vermin, he certainly would! Dukir took a liking to Morph right away and invited him to spend a night at his farm. Not in the house (the missus looked a bit uncomfortable at that thought), but in the barn. After a dinner of mushroom [I]sandwiches[/I] (sort of like mushroom wraps but using dwarven bread instead of cavern seaweed), during which Dukir and Morph spoke at length about the proper use of Rothe dung in fertilizing mushroom fields (the missus seemed slightly nauseous during dinner), Morph went outside again to help Ping catch some rats to eat. Moving to a pond for a drink, Morph and Ping were surprised to see a Kuo-Toan, sleeping just under the surface, tiny bubbles leaking from his nostrils. -- Vuoor Seakin had wandered far surfaceward from the Middledark, farther surfaceward then he'd ever been. This hadn't happened intentionally, not really. It was just where his feet led him. Finding the pond in the farming cavern was a nice surprise. It made him realize how dry his lungs and gills had become! Nothing that a nice nap underwater wouldn't fix. From his deep sleep, Vuoor sensed creatures nearby. Waking, Vuoor opened his eyes to see a slyth and a dire bat staring down at him from the air. [/QUOTE]
