Description summary:
The description varies depending on the Airs of Godfall.
![]() | Description |
---|---|
0 - 40 | The floor here bristles with [...] stubble. [...] drags at your feet as you try to move through it. [...] monks kicks through [...] too enthusiastically, [...] stone skipping down a cavern [...] bats within do not like to be disturbed, and they make their displeasure known. |
41 - 80 | [...] 'The Penitent's Way', they call it – a crawlspace of a scant few inches. The rock itself seems to sweat here. In fact – are those pores? The monks debate whether any will attempt [...] "There is not enough wine in the world," says one. |
81 - 100 | You come to a round chamber pocked with shafts [...] The walls here are different – smooth, cartilaginous. Sounds echo [...] The zee. A waterfall's crash. The rhythmic whistling of air pumped up from below. And voices – quiet, distorted, and half-drowned. |
101 - 140 | The passage ahead seems to swallow your torchlight. It takes you a moment to see them. Sorrow-spiders, packing the walls so tightly you can't see the stone beneath. |
141 - 180 | This room is crammed with oenological paraphernalia. "The old fermentery," a monk offers. Here, the brothers would prepare their famous chartreuse before hauling it to Godfall's surface. |
181 - 200 | You reach one of the monks' Shaping Chambers, the walls marbled with fat and amber. St Stalactite preaches a gospel of change. This is where they practice his rites. The brothers […] joke […] But there's more than one contorted skeleton in this room. |
201 - 240 | A side-cavern conceals a chaos of mechanical parts. These aren't remnants of the stalactite's previous occupants – someone has been collecting equipment and stashing it down here. |
241 - 280 | There's an inchoate cry from behind you, then a scream. You turn to find a monk in the grip of an amber-form mass. It's nominally humanoid, but its body runs and pools like liquid. It has engulfed the monk's feet, and now draws in the rest of him. |
281 - 300 | The walls here are a frantic scrawl – writing layered over writing in an incomprehensible lithographic palimpsest. A stone juts from the floor, riven with cracks. And from within – a hundred eyes, staring out. |
301 - 366 | This deep in the stalactite, the walls no longer sweat amber. They exude it, rendering your path a qaugmire of transformation in potentia. You see no way around - you must cross the pool. |
367 - 400 | St Stalactite has many faces. Not here. Here he has only mouths and grasping hands. |
500 | The way forward from here is up, past the face of the saint, and to the island's surface. |
