** DESCRIPTIONS **
******************
Silversail Sea: You are sailing on Silversail Sea. The waves are somewhat choppy, and you occasionally spot fish leaping clear of the deep blue water.
Silversail Sea: You are sailing on Silversail Sea. There is a fair wind blowing, and your progress is swift. You wonder if sometimes you see larger shapes fltting in and out of view beneath the waves.
Sandy Beach: You are on a warm, sandy beach. There is a lagre amount of splintered wood and debris littering the beach here.
Sandy Beach: You are on a warm, sandy beach. The sun is beating on your back, but is not unpleasantly hot. The wreckage of your once-fine vessel lies strewn across the golden-white sand.
Sandy Beach: You are on a warm, sandy beach. Shells are dotted across the smooth golden scene.
Sandy Beach: You are on a warm, sandy beach. The sun is beating on your back, but is not unpleasantly hot. There are a few small animal tracks in the sand.
Jungle Path: You are in a warm and humid jungle. The leaves of the tall trees here filter out much of the sunlight, leaving the floor relatively dark.
Jungle Path: You are in a warm and humid jungle. The jungle floor is damp beneath your feet, and the noise of wildlife is almost deafening at times. Most creatures leave you well alone, but some are out looking for a tasty meal.
Jungle Clearing: You are in a sunny clearing in the jungle. The grass here is long, but is happily dry after the dampness of the jungle.
Jungle Clearing: You are in a sunny clearing in the jungle. The sounds of the jungle are lost into the wind here, the clearing is eerily quiet to your ears.
Jungle Path: You are in a warm and humid jungle. The leaves of the tall trees here filter out much of the sunlight, leaving the floor relatively dark. The ground beneath your feet here is sloping.
Jungle Path: You are in a warm and humid jungle. The jungle floor is drying, and the noise of wildlife is becoming less the higher you go. The air is cooling too, and the end of the trees seems nigh.
Rocky Mountainside: You are standing on a boulder-strewn mountainside. Devoid of much plant protection, the rocks have been worn smooth by the elements.
Rocky Mountainside: You are standing on a boulder-strewn mountainside. The air is fresh, and cool on your cheeks. The only greenery here is an occasional stunted tree with bare branches and only a handful of leaves.
Rocky Mountainside: You are standing on a boulder-strewn mountainside. This high up, no plants grow, and the air is cooling more rapidly.
Rocky Mountainside: You are standing on a boulder-strewn mountainside. As you step carefully, you notice a faint coating of dust on some of the more sheltered rocks.
Crater Rim: You are standing on the edge of a volcanic crater. Small fountains of steam are rising inside the crater. You can feel the warmth, even at this distance.
Crater Rim: You are standing on the edge of a volcanic crater. From the look and feel of the rocks around the rim, it has not erupted for a long time.
Crater Floor: You are standing inside the crater of a large, dormant volcano. There are several steaming pools here, and you are suffering from the heat.
Crater Floor: You are standing inside the crater of a large, dormant volcano. The jagged rocks tell tales of past upheaval and turmoil, though they are now set in place for an age.
Foothills: You are wandering through some grassy foothills. This side of the island is cooler, although still pleasant. The long grass brushes gently against your legs as you walk across the land.
Foothills: You are wandering through some grassy foothills. The rolling terrain seems more peaceful than the noise and humidity of the jungle, although your guard does not drop - there are still things out here to be wary of.
LEVEL 1
Twisting Caves: This twisting labyrinth of caves has evidently not been made by natural means. You can hear the faint sounds of trickling water.
Twisting Caves: This twisting labyrinth of caves has evidently not been made by natural means. Judging from the size of the various mining tools lying around the place, you are not overly anxious to meet the makers either.
LEVEL 2
Twisting Caves: The caves actually seem to be expanding in size the deeper you go. Many years must have been spent creating this gloomy place.
Twisting Caves: The caves actually seem to be expanding in size the deeper you go. There are more tools littering the floor here, and you occasionally hear a faint clunk from an axe hitting stone, or the odd trollish shout.
LEVEL 3
Twisting Caves: The faint glimmer of gold can be seen in the cave walls here. Evidently this is what the miners came down here for in the first place.
Twisting Caves: The faint glimmer of gold can be seen in the cave walls here. The sounds of water you heard earlier are slightly louder than before, and they seem to echo around the caves with an intrinsically eerie whisper.
LEVEL 4
Twisting Caves: The walls here shimmer more brightly than before with the gleam of gold. The miners are more populous here, and many of them ignore you completely, so intent are they on acquiring their yellow wealth.
Twisting Caves: The walls here shimmer more brightly than before with the gleam of gold. Plenty of torches here illuminate the walls where the miners are hard at work, bathing the scene in a dark, golden glow.
LEVEL 5
Underground Antechamber: You have reached the end of the mining area. A large steel door blocks your path. Perhaps a more immediate worry is the excessively dangerous Hill Troll bodyguard who has heard you coming a mile off, and prepared himself for battle.
Underground Antechamber: You have reached the end of the mining area. This small antechamber is full of lethal-looking knives and swords, with various splintered wooden dummies hanging loosely from iron hooks in the roof of the cave. Whoever lives and trains here is a professional killer.
Throne Room: You have entered the throne room of the Troll King Drz'zak. The high, vaulted ceiling seems strange and somewhat out of place. The sides of the hall, behind the carved stone pillars have large piles of gold, and various trinkets. The stone floor is smooth beneath your feet, and stone steps lead up to an enormous throne.
Throne Room: You have entered the throne room of the Troll King Drz'zak. There is an obscene amount of gold simply lying on the floor here, and you wonder at the actual amount. The stone pillars are ornately engraved with designs of strange beasts, the like of which you have never seen on any of your travels. Some stand on two legs, yet look reptilian in form. Others stand on four, yet seem more placid. You wonder at this mystery.
Hidden Tunnel: You have found a narrow tunnel that does not look as though it has been travelled in centuries. There is a stronger golden glow here than in the main caves.
Hidden Tunnel: You have found a narrow tunnel that does not look as though it has been travelled in centuries. The ground beneath your feet is somewhat damper than before, and the rocks are more jagged to touch.
Hidden Tunnel: You have reached a dead-end in the tunnel. Built into the wall at the end of the tunnel is the grinning face of a gargoyle.
Hidden Tunnel: You have reached a dead-end in the tunnel. The wall at the end looks as though is has been built specifically to stop anything from getting out of the caves...or maybe it is to stop something getting in. You can see no way through the well-built wall.
Forgotten Tunnel: The tunnel you now find yourself in has a musty smell that lingers in your nostrils. The path is hard to navigate, and there is the ever-present threat of a rockfall.
Forgotten Tunnel: The tunnel you now find yourself in has a musty smell that lingers in your nostrils. There is no form of sound to reach your ears, aside from your dull-sounding footfalls.
Lost Valley: You are standing in a beautiful, steep-sided valley. As you look out across the sloping grassy landscape, you see a multitude of large animals strolling slowly around. With long, snakelike necks and tails, they are truly a strange sight to behold.
Lost Valley: You are standing in a beautiful, steep-sided valley. Most of the valley is open grassland, but some of the lower slopes of the surrounding mountains are decorated with tall green trees. Gazing around, you see that the valley is entirely cut off from the rest of the world by these mountains, which explains the presence of the strange new creatures you are encountering.
Pebbled Riverbank: You are standing on the banks of a wide, yet fairly shallow river. The water of the river is murky, and you are unable to see below the surface.
Pebbled Riverbank: You are standing on the banks of a wide, yet fairly shallow river. The pebbles under your boots are warm from the day's sunshine, and the occasional small lizard moves quickly out of your path upon your approach.
Shallow Brook: You are wading waist-deep in a muddy river. You shudder as you occasionally feel things brush against your legs, and you contemplate a retreat to the safer shore.
Shallow Brook: You are wading waist-deep in a muddy river. The water here is fairly placid, but you notice that out in midstream, a fairly swift current is moving.
Midstream: You are treading water out in the middle of the river. The current is pushing you inexorably onwards, towards an uncertain end. Many small fishlike creatures swim around you, attracted to your clumsy movements and splashes.
Midstream: You are treading water out in the middle of the river. In such an awkward environment, you can only hope that predators do not take advantage of your weakened position.
Misty Woodland: You are in a misty forest on the eastern side of the valley. Hidden from the sun by the high mountains, the air here is cooler, and the woodland has an altogether more sinister feel than the sunny grassland that makes up most of the rest of the valley.
Misty Woodland: You are in a misty forest on the eastern side of the valley. Large ferns grow on the soft earth amongst the tall trees here, some reaching ten feet in height. From time to time you find a huge footprint, evidently left by one of the creatures that dwell in this shady woodland.
Evergreen Glade: You stand among some tall conifers on the western side of the valley. Little light filters through the dense branches, and the flickering shadows play tricks on your eyes.
Evergreen Glade: You stand among some tall conifers on the western side of the valley. The carpet of pine needles feels soft underfoot, and the unique smell tingles in your nostrils. This forest has a subtly different feel to the rest of the valley - you cannot imagine the huge lizards squeezing themselves between these closely packed trees.
Underground Lakeside: You are standing on smooth stone ground beside a large underground lake. The water laps gently against the shore, making a soothing sound that echoes gently around this cavern.
Underground Lakeside: You are standing on smooth stone ground beside a large underground lake. Across the lake, on its far western edge, you think you can make out a small glimmer of light, but you can see no way of reaching it from here.
Dark Tunnel: You are in a pitch black tunnel. Darkness envelops you here, and the creatures of darkness look to take you for themselves.
Dark Tunnel: You are in a pitch black tunnel. The walls feel smooth to your touch as you feel your way carefully along. Every so often your foot stumbles against a rock, and your feet ache from the uneven journey. Pressing on, you long for a return to the outside world.
Astral Mountains: You stand underneath a beautiful starry sky. Though the sun is below the mountains now, the stars provide plenty of light for you to be sure of your footsteps. Indeed, even the mountains themselves seem to shine a little with the light of stars fallen to earth.
Astral Mountains: You stand underneath a beautiful starry sky. The rocks beneath your feet seem somehow older than you have seen before, and they shimmer slightly with the light of age-old celestial bodies whose time to fall has long since come and passed. These mountains you now find yourself exploring seem high, far higher than you have been before, and you wonder that they do not reach the halls of the gods themselves.
Astral Mountains: You have reached the edge of the Astral Mountains, and also the island you are on. You gaze out across the dark blue sea, and wonder at what other strange lands the ocean might hold.
Astral Mountains: You have reached the edge of the Astral Mountains, and also the island you are on. You occasionally hear the crash of the waves against the foot of the cliffs, even at this great height. The dark rocks shift slightly beneath your feet, and you move back from the cliff edge and continue on your way.
Narrow Cave: You are in a narrow, gloomy cave. Only a small amount of light reaches in here from the outside world. The walls of the cave are close enough to touch on either side, and you feel tightly enclosed by the looming rocks.
Narrow Cave: You are in a narrow, gloomy cave. You hear the occasional click of stone on stone, as though someone or something has been disturbed by your presence. With weapon at the ready, and adrenaline pumping, you continue on your way in this dingy cave.
Astral Mountains: You have reached the western edge of the Astral Mountains. The mountain range ends abruptly, and you will have to find a suitable place to navigate a path down to the grassland.
Astral Mountains: You have reached the western edge of the Astral Mountains. On this side, they are bordered not by the sea, but by flat, fertile grassland. Your legs ache from all the climbing, and the soft grassland will provide a welcome respite from your exertions in this rocky environment.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. The Astral Mountains block your path to the east - there is no way to ascend these sheer cliffs from here.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. Squinting into the wind, you think you can make out the outline of a forest on the far western horizon. You put your head down, and press grittily onwards.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. The warm wind whips across your face, and the clouds move rapidly across the sky. There appears to be very little here in the way of animal life, or even plant life for that matter.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. Squinting into the wind, you think you can make out the outline of a forest on the far western horizon. You put your head down, and press grittily onwards.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. The wind that buffets you seems to be getting somewhat stronger here. The movement of the clouds above you appears to be more circular than it was before.
Open Grassland: You are standing on short, flat grass. From time to time the gusting wind almost knocks you clean off you feet, it is a continual battle to stay upright, let alone walk. The centre of this raging malestrom feels close at hand.
Open Grassland: You have reached the very centre of this storm that rages across the grassland. The winds here swirl madly in every direction, and every now and then you are lifted bodily off your feet by their power.
Open Grassland: You have reached the very centre of this storm that rages across the grassland. The clouds in the sky above you twist and turn, forming and re-forming in a continual dance of mesmeric proportions. Sometimes they appear to form shapes - a face blows wildly above you, before turning into a great fist, then it dissipates into the storm once more.
Open Grassland: You are standing out on flat grassland. The winds still blow here, but not as strongly - the grass here is taller, and other plants grow. You even spot signs of rabbits amongst the greenery.
Open Grassland: You are standing out on flat grassland. The grass waves peacefully in the wind, and as you look west, you can see a small wood ahead of you. Perhaps suitable timber for ship repairs can be found there.
Open Grassland: You have reached the shores of the island. Chalky cliffs drop down to the sea, which rages eternally against the island. Every now and then the sea claims a small part of the cliffs for its own, as it succumbs to the ocean's fury and slips into the deep.
Open Grassland: You have reached the shores of the island. The crumbling cliffs are too dangerous to descend, and at any rate, the sea below exhibits an unnatural hostility as it mercilessly pounds the shore. The ever-present wind gusts at your back, forcing you to retreat from the cliffs and continue on your travels.
Small Forest: You are in a well-populated woodland. You can hear birds in the trees, and the occasional rustle of the undergrowth as some small animal hurries away from your presence.
Small Forest: You are in a well-populated woodland. Looking around, you wonder how long it will be before some of the larger inhabitants of the forest become aware of your presence. Weapon at the ready, you move cautiously on through the trees.
******************
** MONSTERS **
******************
Great White Shark: One of the largest aquatic predators known in the world, the Great White Shark has been known to attack far larger vessels than the one currently holding you into a most precarious position. With rows of jagged teeth and hungry eyes, you are nothing more than lunch to this fiendish fish.
A Great White Shark attacked you with its Gaping Jaws for 80 points of damage.
A Great White Shark attacked you with Body Smash for 40 points of damage.
1% drop Shark Tooth Bracelet (1ac), 60% Shark Tooth Necklace, 30% Mariner's Ring (3ac).

Giant Crab: This outlandishly-sized crustacean far exceeds anything you have ever seen before, even in nightmares. Its pincers flail and snap wildly, looking to cut you in half! You must fight for your life!
A Giant Crab attacked you with its Snapping Pincers for 45 points of damage.
10% drop Crab Meat.
NOTES: Should not be too many of these around
Mamba: The Mamba is a small snake, but needs to be avoided at all costs. With one of the most venomous bites known, only the brave or the foolhardy will tangle with one of these.
A Mamba attacked you with its Venomous Bite for 200 points of damage.
- poison does 500 damage.
NOTES: Low hp (similar to Drow Rogue)
Army Ants: These ants are not much to look at individually. But working together, they can and generally do achieve their goals. Often, the size of a colony can reach over a million individual ants, and they are capable of overwhelming almost any creature by sheer weight of numbers.
An Army Ants attacked you with its Stinging Bite for 35 points of damage.
NOTES: VERY fast stam, two a second or so. Damaged only by Torch or by Magic (mage or druid).
Black Python: The Black Python is at the top of the food chain. And no wonder. Fully a hundred feet long, it is incredibly fast and powerful. Constriction is its preferred method of attack, although its dislocating jaws will just as easily swallow prey that is still alive.
A Black Python attacked you with Constriction for 120 points of damage.
A Black Python attacked you with its Fangs for 30 points of damage.
5% drop Fangs, 1% drop Snakeskin Gloves (6ac, +1 dex, +1 char)

Anteater: The Anteater shambles around, looking for a nice anthill or termite nest to poke its long tongue into.
5% drop Anteater Meat.
Red Dragon: This mythical predator is a terrible and fantastic sight to behold. Some fifty feet in length, it almost lazily turns its gaze upon you. Powerful wings often take it far out of your reach, but that is truly a blessing, for its enormous jaws and flesh-tearing claws threaten to rip you limb from limb. Surely your only hope must be to avoid this living incarnation of your most vivid nightmares at all costs.
A Red Dragon attacked you with its Beating Wings for 40 points of damage.
A Red Dragon attacked you with its Flesh-tearing Claws for 70 points of damage.
A Red Dragon attacked you with its Huge Jaws for 100 points of damage.

NOTES: HIGH hp, probably should not be killable by a party of less than 8 crits.
Rock Snake: The rock snake likes to bask in the warm sunlight. Except for the times where it is hungry, when it moves off to find its next meal. This one would like that next meal to be you.
A Rock Snake attacked you with its Jagged Fangs for 60 points of damage.
NOTES: Medium hp, it is kill to pass and potentially a dragon is on the square too so not too tough!
Hill Troll: Some twelve feet tall, the hill troll is smarter and stronger than its lesser, more common brethren. This one eyes you closely, before yelling a war-cry and lumbering quickly forward to attack.
A Hill Troll attacked you with its Large Club for 55 points of damage.
A Hill Troll smashed you with its Fists for 30 points of damage.
NOTES: magic does less damage than on normal troll
Southern Wolf: The Southern Wolf glares at you through its malevolent green eyes. Boredom will often induce these wolves to kill for the sake of it, and they delight in stalking their prey across the land, and sending up the howls that will instil fear in the hearts of even the bravest souls.
A Southern Wolf attacked you with its Fanged Jaws for 75 points of damage.
NOTES: bit harder than normal wolf
Red Buzzard: The Red Buzzard is one of largest birds in the world. Native to this island, it has sharp eyesight that easily picks you out in this open terrain. With talons that crush, and a sharp, tearing beak, facing one of these is a tough proposition.
A Red Buzzard attacked you with its Crushing Talons for 80 points of damage.
A Red Buzzard attacked you with its Beak for 40 points of damage.
NOTES: nothing to speak of
Troll Miner: This miner is a heavily-built Hill Troll, and he does not appear best pleased to see you. In fact, he seems strangely enraged...but you have precious little time to ponder this, as he grabs two large tools and violently assaults you.
A Troll Miner attacked you with its Huge Pickaxe for 90 points of damage.
A Troll Miner attacked you with its Iron Shovel for 65 points of damage.
NOTES: not a lot
Cave Scorpion: The Cave Scorpion is a small, yet highly dangerous foe. Its great speed enables it to quickly hide among the rubble in the caves, and its venomous sting can quickly kill large prey such as yourself.
A Cave Scorpion attacked you with its Venomous Sting for 130 points of damage.
A Cave Scorpion scuttled across the cave and disappeared from sight.
- poison does 150 damage
NOTES: camo lol

A Troll Guard attacked you with its Broad Sword for 85 points of damage.
A Troll Guard smashed you with its Iron Shield for 65 points of damage.
20% drop Broad Sword, 20% drop Iron Shield
NOTES: none to speak of
Elite Guardian: This troll towers above you. Looming almost three times the size of you, and holding a huge sword in both of his gnarled hands, he is the undisputed champion of this underground troll kingdom. He waits for you to move into range, then strikes with breathtaking ferocity and skill.
An Elite Guardian attacked you with its Greatsword for 120 points of damage.

Drz'zak's Bodyguard covertly hid away.
NOTES: nope
King Drz'zak: Though not much to look at, this small troll is deceptively strong, and is not afraid of a fight. Scars on either cheek are a testament to his prowess with the serrated blade he now attacks you with.
King Drz'zak attacked you with his Serrated Scimitar for 60 points of damage.
King Drz'zak threw a Poisoned Dagger at you for 50 points of damage.
- poison does 50 damage
King Drz'zak yells loudly, and a Troll Guard rushes to his aid.
5% drop Serrated Scimitar (27 bd, zerk, pally, fighter)
NOTES: nothing much really
Elusive Spectre: The spectre shimmers in and out of view. Its misty talons cut right through you, chilling your blood and threatening to stop your heart as it beats. It flickers around these tunnels, never stilling for a second.

An Elusive Spectre attacked you with its Wrathful Claws for 20 points of damage.
An Elusive Spectre disappeared into the darkness.
1% drop Dark Spectral Ring (0ac, +1 dex), 90% drop Nightshade Elixir
NOTES: 4 stam attacks, so it should covert fairly often. also, moves around large area, and moves quickly
Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Tyrannosaurus Rex is the biggest, most powerful predator in the valley. Supported by two tree-trunk hind legs, and with a long tail for balance, this beast moves with a surprising turn of speed for its size. Its huge head is filled with razor-sharp teeth, each the larger than your hand. Yellow eyes fix themselves upon you as it calculates its strike. This devil incarnate will surely devour you where you stand. You fight for your very existence.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked you with its Jaws for 150 points of damage.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked you with its Stamping Feet for 100 points of damage.
100% drop Bone Staff (22bd, all classes)
NOTES: uh, badass boss lol
Deinonychus: Similar to the Velociraptor, the Deinonychus' weapons are its bite, and a large slashing claw. This claw hooks deep into its prey, while its jaws rip and tear its unfortunate victim to shreds. Notoriously intelligent, this small dinosaur eyes you carefully, as though determining your suitability for its next meal. Evidently, it decides you are a nice tasty snack, for it attacks without warning.
A Deinonychus attacked you with its Snapping Bite for 60 points of damage.
A Deinonychus attacked you with its Slashing Claws for 40 points of damage.
NOTES: one or two of these on a square
Velociraptor: This small predator is almost wolfish in its mentality. Though only roughly the same size as you, these fearless hunters can bring down prey several times their own size. They prefer to hunt in small packs, and surround their prey before delivering the fatal blow to the neck.
A Velociraptor attacked you with its Tearing Jaws for 50 points of damage.
A Velociraptor attacked you with its Jagged Claws for 35 points of damage.
NOTES: at least three of these at once, never less, lowish hp though
Pterodactyl: With a thin body, and leathery batlike wings, the Pterodactyl soars through the sunlit sky. Its snapping bill is some three feet long, and is filled with the customary array of viciously sharp teeth that so many of the creatures here posess.
A Pterodactyl attacked you with its Large Jaws for 65 points of damage.
A Pterodactyl picked you up and dropped from the sky, causing you 80 points of damage.
20% drop Leather Bands (1ac all classes)
NOTES: high dex to represent flying into the sky
Diplodocus: In terms of size, you have simply never seen a living being this large. Its long neck is easily capable of reaching the highest leaves of the tallest trees, whilst its huge body is held up by four enormous legs, each one the width of a mighty oak. Though it is a peaceful being, at 35 tons in weight it can crush with the greatest of ease, while its long, powerful tail gives it a fair defence against attackers.
A Diplodocus attacked you with its Flailing Tail for 35 points of damage.
100% drop Diplodocus Meat
NOTES: few of these around in a small herd maybe
Ankylosaurus: This heavy-set creature stands low to the ground. Its back is entirely covered with heavy bone armour. Bony spines run down either side of its body, preventing predators from reaching underneath its armour. Its only apparent offensive weaponry is the heavy bone club at the end of its tail, which it uses to smash its attackers. This four-ton mass of bone and muscle looks enraged that you have intruded upon her nest, and her normally avoidant nature is turned into frenetic rage.
An Ankylosaurus attacked you with its Clubbed Tail for 95 points of damage.
NOTES: no drop, maybe an examine inside the nest - KTP to get in, but can run away if you want
Stegosaurus: This strange-looking beast is something of a clusmy creature. It has large, bony plates that extend vertically from its back, and a tail with two sharp spikes protruding from either side. It waddles curiously, perhaps as a consequence of its long back legs, and short front ones. Yet despite this oddly-designed body, it still looks capable of dealing a horrific wound with its spiked tail. Any attacks on this beast must be well thought out, and executed with caution.
A Stegosaurus swung its Spiked Tail at you for 70 points of damage.
A Stegosaurus bit you for 20 points of damage.
100% drop Bone Plate (nothing, just item atm...)
NOTES: plate you'll give to someone somewhere for uber armour
Baryonyx: The most obvious features of this troll-sized reptile are the foot-long claws on each of its feet. A notorious scavenger, the Baryonyx will eat any meat it can get, from fish, to other dinosaurs...to you. True to form, this one looks up from the bony carcass it is currently stripping, and moves purposefully towards you.
A Baryonyx attacked you with its Huge Claws for 60 points of damage.
A Baryonyx attacked you with its Snapping Bite for 40 points of damage.
30% drop Baryonyx Claw (same as Hawk Talon, can also sell somewhere for 60k or so)
NOTES: not a whole load of these around
Phytosaur: Similiar to the common crocodile, the fifteen-foot long Phytosaur dwells in the rivers of this forgotten valley. Thick bony armour covers its body - unlike its common relative, even the neck of this monster is protected from attack. Its huge jaws open wide, showing the teeth that aim to make mincemeat of you. Its assault is as ferocious as it is relentless.
A Phytosaur attacked you with its Massive Jaws for 100 points of damage.
NOTES: high dex so its like being underwater, but not quite that bad yet.
Quetzalcoatlus: The largest of the pterodactyls, Quetzalcoatlus boasts a forty-foot wingspan, as well as strong, taloned feet. Its narrow head tapers into long, reptilian jaws, which snap powerfully enough to rip through skin and muscle, and even shatter bones. It soars gracefully through the sky, its sharp eyesight picking out the slightest of movement on the ground below. Your progress through this land has not gone unnoticed by this winged ruler of the skies.
A Quetzalcoatlus picked you up and dropped from the sky, causing you 100 points of damage.
A Quetzalcoatlus attacked you with its Slashing Talons for 80 points of damage.
A Quetzalcoatlus attacked you with its Reptilian Jaws for 70 points of damage.
75% drop Dinosaur Eye (will be a crafting thingy, like much else here), 3% drop Ancient Ring (1ac, +1 wis)
NOTES: high dex to represent flying into the sky, only one of these though
Ichthyosaurus: This fishlike predator reminds you of the sharks near Silversail. With a stabilising dorsal fin, and double-pointed tail, this predator is at home in the deep water of the river as you are out of place. It spots your unease, and decides the time is ripe to move in for the kill.
An Ichthyosaurus attacked you with its Tearing Teeth for 40 points of damage.
NOTES: underwater monster
Allosaurus: Similar in design to the Tyrannosaurus, the Allosaurus has the same powerful back legs and small, weak front legs as its larger relative. Its massive head houses powerful, bone-crunching jaws, which loom above you, at nearly three times your own height. This carnivorous beast is out for your blood!
An Allosaurus attacked you with its Heavy Jaws for 60 points of damage.
An Allosaurus attacked you with its Clawed Kick for 50 points of damage.
NOTES: just make it less tough than t-rex
Iguanodon: This normally mild-natured herbivore is startled into action by your sudden appearance. With a weight of ten thousand pounds, it is not to be trifled with. Its jaws, while normally employed in the uprooting of ferns and various plants, are equally capable of delivering a crippling bite to the attacker who ventures too close.
An Iguanodon slashed at you with its Claws for 30 points of damage.
An Iguanodon attacked you with its Sharp Teeth for 25 points of damage.
50% drop Iguanodon Meat
NOTES: not a lot really
Triceratops: Well-built and well-balanced, this fourteen-ton beast is probably the most dangerous herbivore you are ever likely to come across. It is well used to fending off attacks of such natural born killers as the Tyrannosaurus - your presence here is unwelcome, but your death is surely close to a formality. The Triceratops points its three-horned head directly at you, and begins its charge.
A Triceratops attacked you with its Goring Horns for 110 points of damage.
4% drop Bone Horn (just an item)
NOTES: three of these, only on one square though
Archaeopteryx: This animal appears to be a cross between a bird and a lizard. Though only a foot in length, it moves with great speed between the trees, and shows no sign of fear when it comes to attacking much larger foes. Its wings whisper through the branches, and you are never sure where the next attack will come from with this unnatural-looking creation.
An Archaeopteryx attacked you with its Piercing Bite for 20 points of damage.
An Archaeopteryx raked you with its Small Talons for 15 points of damage.
15% drop Rainbow Feather (item)
NOTES: High dex, low hp like 200 or so
Deadly Nightshade: This seemingly innocuous flower harbours a lethal toxin. However, it is possible to create the valuable Nightshade Elixir from juices found in its stem - hence the high number of fatalities from deadly nightshade poisoning.
A Deadly Nightshade attacked you with its Poison for 65 points of damage.
- poison does 65 damage
25% drop Nightshade Elixir
NOTES: should be able to harvest nightshades from this, for the loss of some health
Night Demon: All that is visible of this horror are its glowing red claws and teeth, as well as two pure white eyes. Its only motive for being is to kill, rend, tear and destroy. Life of any kind draws the deadly intentions of this devil, whose cursed talons have put paid to any souls that may once have chosen to dwell here in these forsaken tunnels.
A Night Demon attacked you with its Devil Claws for 80 points of damage.
A Night Demon attacked you with its Vehement Fangs for 45 points of damage.
NOTES: only one plz, should be hard
Star Sprite: Formed from the remnants of a black star, the Star Sprite skips through the night sky like an angelic vision. However, this parallel stops with the malevolent humour with which it torments the unwary. This ethereal, manic being is a tricky foe for even the most resourceful warrior.
A Star Sprite attacked you with its Unholy Touch for 45 points of damage.
NOTES: quite a few of these
Celestial Wizard: Dressed in long, flowing blue robes, the Celestial Wizard has the power of the sky and the stars at his disposal. His eyes, each an unholy electric blue, gaze upon you as he raises his hands high, and mutters his first incantation. Lightning crackles from his curved, cracked fingers as the magic takes its toll on him...but its toll on you is surely to be far greater.
A Celestial Wizard attacked you with its Blue Lightning for 75 points of damage.
A Celestial Wizard flings Azure Blades at you for 65 points of damage.
A Celestial Wizard chants an incantation, and a Star Sprite comes into being at his side.
10% drop Azure Robes, 30% drop Astral Star Chart (map to get back aye)
NOTES: maybe have 5 or so of these spread out over the mountains
Nighthawk: It is hard to describe what you see of the assassin Nighthawk. Most mortals merely feel his silent blade sliding gracefully between their ribs as they breathe their last, and he is departed at once with perhaps a fleeting glimpse of a grey-green cloak. But this unseen enemy sees you certainly, for his attacks are swift and deadly.
Nighthawk attacked you with his Star-Forged Katana for 110 points of damage.
Nighthawk vanished into the surrounding darkness.
Nighthawk disappears from view with a swish of his grey-green cloak.
10% drop Star-Forged Katana (31bd, magical, thief only)
NOTES: two separate coverts, so he does it often...should have 2 or 3 stam attacks at once
Firestarr: Named for her fiery temper as much as the blazing cloak which protects her, the celestial ranger Firestarr boasts beauty unequalled across the planes, as well as a sure shot and graceful athleticism. Small jewels rest easily in her fire-golden hair, and eyes that burn with a visible passion consume your gaze. Your reverie is cruelly ended by her lightning-quick assault.
Firestarr fired a dual shot at you with her Celestial Bow for 60 points of damage.
Firestarr rapidly fired at you with her Celestial Bow for 75 points of damage.

NOTES: not a lot, guess is kinda like the Mountain Ranger...high gold drop btw
Darkwind: Darkwind stands poised elegantly atop a small, flat rock. Entirely naked, save for the purest white loincloth around his waist, this wondrous being boasts a rippling, muscled chest, as well as thunderous legs, the size to turn every eye. In each of his huge arms he holds a dazzling white blade, which nigh on burns your eyes to behold. He bows his head silently, before leaping into a spinning, whirling, raging dance of death.
Darkwind launched a frenzied assault on you, causing you 90 points of damage.
Darkwind attacked you with his Starlight Blade for 80 points of damage.
Darkwind leaps at you and pummels you for 40 points of damage.
10% drop Starlight Blade (29bd, +1 char, magical, zerk only)
NOTES: could have high stam and lower damage possibly
Lonewolf: Lonewolf is the true master of shape-changing. Able to take any animal form at will, he slides in and out of view, depending upon his whim. Yet all the while, his eyes never leave you, his guard never for a second drops, as though he may anticipate your every move before you know it yourself.
Lonewolf morphed into a Lion and smashed you with his Clawed Paws for 100 points of damage.
Lonewolf transformed himself into a Python and constricted you for 85 points of damage.

Lonewolf morphed into a Great Eagle and flew out of sight.
10% drop Starskin Boots (5ac, all classes)
NOTES: not a lot...
Astrona: Sitting atop a jet-black stallion, the celestial knight Astrona commands every respect of every soul. Covered from head to toe in shining silver and black armour, she rests easily in the saddle, while the horse appears to tread not on the rocky ground, but on burning black air. Her lance is engraved with powerful sigils and sharpened to a point finer than even any dwarven-made spear or elven javelin. Visor lowered, she gently spurs her war-horse in your direction, who responds to her every touch as though their minds were connected. If not careful, your part in this battle will be a short-lived one.
Astrona attacked you with her Astral Lance for 120 points of damage.
Astrona's war-horse smashes you with its hooves for 90 points of damage.
Astrona attacked you with her Shield of the Skies for 75 points of damage.

10% drop Astral Lance (29bd, 0.1 vamp, magical, fighter/pally only)
NOTES: Astrona is tougher than the other 4, should be the last one you come to
Air Elemental: This air elemental is the reason for the storm you now find yourself in. With its expressionless face and mighty fists, it sails through the malestrom with breathtaking speed, twisting this way and that, inducing the storm to even greater fury.
An Air Elemental attacked you with its Furious Fists for 60 points of damage.
An Air Elemental attacked you with its Thunderous Roar for 50 points of damage.
An Air Elemental flung you to the ground for 30 points of damage.
5% drop Storm Pendant (3ac, +1 wis)
NOTES: magic weapons only plz
Forest Panther: The forest panther lives solely in this small woodland. Equally at home in the branches as it is on the ground, this one is angered by your presence in its otherwise tranquil home. Its claws and teeth look horribly sharp, and its eyes bear a look of loathing which greatly startles you.
A Forest Panther attacked you with its Black Claws for 60 points of damage.
A Forest Panther attacked you with its Sharp Teeth for 30 points of damage.

******************
** OTHER NPCS **
******************
Ship Captain: The Ship Captain is a tall, well-built man in his late 40's. He looks at you through deep green eyes, and his face bears an unreadable expression. You feel as though you have been judged and found wanting.
Once on the island, /give the Ship Captain...
Arcane Gargoyle: Bearing a leering expression upon its ugly face, the Arcane Gargoyle defies you with every curse it utters. Its malevolent eyes dart around, never gazing in one spot for too long.
******************
** ITEMS DROPS **
******************
Shark Tooth Bracelet: These sharp, yellowed teeth, tied together with wire wool, wrap around your wrist in snakelike fashion. They offer a small amount of physical protection.
Mariner's Ring: A large, tarnished ring. There is a high-strength magical aura radiating from this ring, although it evidently was not strong enough to save its last unfortunate owner.
Crab Meat: Tasty meat!
Snakeskin Gloves: These pretty gloves fit snugly around your hands and wrists. Strong enough to block many a glancing blow, these gloves also impart to you a small amount of the snake's speed and agility.
Dragonscale Ring: The highly protective magic contained in each scale of the dragon usually dissipates upon its death. However, occasionally, some of it lingers on, and it is still prevalent in this darkly-toned ring.
Dragon's Blood Amulet: The spirit of the dragon lives on in this amulet, which contains a small amount of its blood. As such, it offers great protection for the wearer.
Dragon's Egg: This large egg needs to be kept at very high temperatures in order for the baby to survive. Taken from the nest, it is now nothing more than a valuable trophy.
Greatsword: This trollish weapon can only be held by the strongest of warriors. For those that can wield it though, it carries a powerful strengthening charm, as well as delivering a damaging blow to any foe.
Serrated Scimitar: Boasting a blade that is four feet in length, this well-balanced scimitar has a sharp, jagged edge that will cut through bone and sinew with equal delight. Its leather-bound hilt rests comfortably in your grip, and fills you with confidence as equally your enemies are filled with terror.
Dark Spectral Ring: A dark band of mist that wraps itself around your finger in chilling fashion, this ring places some of the elusive power of the spectre at your disposal.
Bone Staff: Taken straight from the carcass of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex, this staff is in itself a testament to the strength and valour of its wielder. Filled with the destructive nature of the beast it once was a part of, this staff is a fearsome weapon even in the hands of the inexperienced fighter.
Leather Bands: These leather bands wrap around your wrist and forearm, giving you a minimal amount of protection from blows.
Diplodocus Meat: A nice piece of leg meat from one of the biggest legs ever to exist.
Bone Plate: A large bone plate taken from the back of a Stegosaurus.
Baryonyx Claw: A viciously sharp, foot-long bone claw. Whether slicing or stabbing, this weapon can and will cause high damage, but only in the hands of one who has a natural affinity for the wild.
Dinosaur Eye: The soft eyeball of a large dinosaur.
Ancient Ring: Formed somehow by a small fusing of the dinosaur's spine, this ring has lived for an age as part of one of the greatest living predators. As such, it is imbued with some of the age-old wisdom of the species - wisdom which now is conferred upon the fortunate wearer.
Iguanodon Meat: Some meat, tastes like chicken!
Bone Horn: A long, sharp horn.
Rainbow Feather: A tantalising, beautiful feather.
Star-Forged Katana: A deadly weapon of no certain origin, this katana is so sharp that you cannot quite perceive where its edge ends and the air begins. It simply tapers into a narrow haze of pale blue light, which strangely never blunts or dulls with time. Able to penetrate the thickest armour, this is truly a great weapon in the hands of a skilled assassin.
Celestial Bow: The Celestial Bow is a thing of true beauty. It never holds one hue for more than a second, but continually shimmers gently through the spectrum, captivating your mind. Its string is formed from purest woven starlight, and it fires with exquisite power and direction.
Starlight Blade: This long, heavy sword is a remarkable creation. Its blade burns with an almost painful intensity, yet your eyes can strangely not avoid its glare. Only to be used by those with extreme strength, this blade carries with it the power and beauty of the heavens.
Starskin Boots: Stitched by the loving hands of the star-goddess Alisa, these boots display a veritable patchwork of delightful colour. The inherent magic found in every thread bestows supernatural physical protection upon the wearer's calves and feet.
Astral Lance: This long white lance is perfectly balanced. Its entire length is covered with glowing golden sigils and runes, which pulse brightly with every strike that lands upon a foe. This heavenly creation is filled with the spirit of the very stars themselves, and its mythical power cannot be overstated.
Storm Pendant: This glass pendant is filled with a swirling grey mist that never ceases its dance. It serves to impart some of the protection and wisdom of the elemental from whence it came.
