{973hp 396m 1198mv new} A Bend in a Path Through the Prosimy
The tall, stalwart evergreens of the Forest of Prosimy rise upward,
the light of the sky filtering through their thick, heavy branches.
The thick underbrush seems to constantly rustle with the movement of
smaller wildlife, and the mossy ground gives way easily beneath any
weight placed upon it. Various animal tracks can be seen upon the soft
ground. The path continues toward the east and the south.

A Bend in a Path Through the Prosimy
The tall conifers of the forest here reach skyward, as if challenging
the might of the deities above. Heavy, thick leaves create a canopy
above the path, severely limiting the sunlight that is able to filter
through their substantial mass. Small yet dense shrubs and short trees
line the path, preventing one from straying far from the carved-out
area. The sound of birds can be heard from the trees above, gently
falling upon any who would walk through here, their trilling conversation
contributing to the vibrant life of the forest. The path continues toward
the west and the north.


You flee from combat!

*** And I retreat to the Refuge.
