Susil Crags

Disaster has struck!
The Crags are a series of rocky formations with small caves and crevices throughout. Many of the lower-lying areas of the Crags have been flooded, however, with water pouring in from the Northern stretches of Moladion. Some paths have been completely submerged, and some are nothing more than a few rocky peaks sticking out of the water. The water is fairly slow moving but begins to pick speed up towards the Grotto, becoming a series of intense rapids and waterfalls as it nears the Grotto's entrance.

The area itself is still traversible. However, it can be risky. Large amounts of debris can enter the waterway, creating bridges at times but also creating dams that break and cause ocassional flash-flooding. Be careful, travelers! One wrong step and you could end up finding out where the water goes.

Note: Susil Crags will return to normal once 25 posts have been completed (or at Staff discretion). During this time, new threads will receive a 'Surprise','Disaster', and prizes.

As the morning warmed her back, a lizard drew her attention away from the sun’s slow progress. It crept along the stone around her feet, periodically pausing and looking around. Sometimes it bobbed up and down on its legs, posturing before skittering forward again, sometimes it just stopped and watched her watching him. After some time of indecisive exploring, it finally settled in to sunbathe as well.

She wondered, was this what lizards did all day? Every day? Or did they have their own dramas that played out under leaf and boulder, below foot and overhead? They seemed so carefree. How often did lizards have to fight bears or try to escape from demons? How often did lizards have to run away from home to keep themselves safe? Never, she decided enviously, watching her lizard blissfully close its eyes. Oh, to be a lizard.

The stranger’s quiet approach silenced her existential musings and put her uncharacteristically on edge. Normally she welcomed company and was excited to make new friends, but the last few days had left a sour taste in her mouth, and she rose at the sound of his footfalls in case it was time to run. She watched him with careful eyes and a lowered head, but in the end he seemed harmless enough: he kept some distance between them and perched comfortably on his own section of rock.

His greeting was friendly; his voice was pleasant in her ears, and it drew a reluctant smile out of her. She hesitated a moment, then relaxed and sat back down, rocking her ears forward good-naturedly. “It really is,” she replied brightly. “I wasn’t sure I’d get to see it.” The implications of her statement were dark, but her voice was cheery; she was grateful just to be alive.

Her eyes ventured out over the cavernous terrain, gradually making their way back to her guest, whom she eyed shamelessly – as was her way. He wasn’t bad-looking. He didn’t seem any taller than her, though there was definitely more to him. She imagined he would outweigh her, even if he couldn’t outrun her. Overall, she liked looking at him, and had no opposition to his company. “What’s your name, stranger?
