Rocky Buttress^
You are making your way around a shoulder of the mountain, perched somewhat
precariously on a narrow ledge which ends to the west. Unless you head back on
to the path just east of you, the only other way seems to be a scramble down
a gully to the south. The going will be tricky, but not impossible, and your
return ascent would appear to be manageable.

Gully^
The mountain looms above you as you struggle to keep your footing in this
small gully, which above you climbs steeply up to the path by which you came
here, and levels off just below you. At this point the gradient is still quite
steep, and gorse bushes clinging to the slope grow out at an angle. There is
little else in the way of vegetation though, and your way is relatively
unencumbered. To the south, still some way below you, a little-used path
begins, winding westwards.

End Of The Road^
Once upon a time this was obviously a popular road between neighbouring
villages, yet now it has been allowed to become overgrown with weeds. To the
east a tall hedge has sprung up, completely blocking the way. You cannot help
wondering if it was planted on purpose. The road continues to the west.

Disused Road^
You are progressing along an old road, once busy with traffic, now grass-
covered and forgotten. It continues east and west from here, but to the west
it crosses a swiftly-moving river which hurries by as if anxious to leave the
area as soon as possible. There is a bridge over the river, and a decaying
pier to the north of the bridge suggests that there was once some traffic along
the river, although you cannot imagine how any boat could possibly travel
upstream from here.

Wooden Bridge^
You are on the bridge, looking down into the fast-flowing waters. The
bridge crosses the river at a point where the river is curving round in a wide
arc which begins north-west of here. From the bridge onwards it straightens
out and for a long while heads more or less due south. To the east the old
road heads along the foot of the mountain, and to the west is the ever-open
gate of the small village of Yorrin.

Rotting Pier^
Whether once river barges made the long haul up the river from here, or
merely traded with downstream ports, you have no idea, but you are certain of
one thing: this pier has not been in use for a good century or more. Dank
mosses cling to the rotting planks, and most of the wooden supports are missing
or broken beyond repair. Sheltered under the shoulder of the mountain as this
is, with the river on the one hand, there is nowhere you can go from here
except back to the south.

Village Gate^
You are at the north-eastern gate of the village of Yorrin. As you look
around, you are somewhat surprised to note a distinct lack of activity. The
place is as silent as the grave, and a shiver runs up and down your spine as
you pause to consider what could possibly be the explanation for this. To the
west is the village's main street.

Main Street^
You are at the north end of Yorrin's main street, which runs south from

presence of a town hall to the west amuses you by its pretentiousness.

Town Hall^
The town hall is cold and dusty. It shows signs of having been ransacked.

mayor.

Centre Of Yorrin^
You are in the village centre. Here you are most struck by the silence and
the emptiness. The houses and shops all around you have their doors locked and

to the east which appears still to be in business.

Weapons Shop^
You are disappointed when you enter here, for nothing remains on the walls
of what may once have been a proud selection of weaponry. Hooks and shelves
are bare and whatever treasures they once bore is now a matter for guesswork
only.

South Gate Of Yorrin^
You are at the southern end of the village of Yorrin. A gate once stood
here between two tall stone pillars. Now it is lying on the ground, smashed,
its bars bent and broken. To the west, through the gate, you espy a small
patch of woodland, nestling under the looming bulk of a volcano. A dark column
of smoke rises from the summit of the volcano, and you grow uneasy at the
thought of approaching it any closer.

Edge Of Yorrin Wood^
You are at the northern edge of a wood which continues south and west from

friendly and less intimidating than most of the woods you have recently had
occasion to pass through. The broken gates of the village of Yorrin lie to the
west.

You are standing by the edge of the river, watching as it tumbles over
boulders and pours over jutting lips of bedrock, making its way rapidly towards

Yorrin Wood^
You are in a small open glade, where no trees are growing due to the poor
quality of the soil here, which is suffused with a yellow tint that indicates
the presence of sulphur. Whether it has boiled up from beneath at some point
or fallen from above you cannot tell, but it effectively prevents any plants
from growing within an area of twenty square yards or more.

Crossroads Of Tunnels^
You have come to a place where two tunnels meet. The main tunnel leading
from the entrance descends in a steep decline to the west, while the tunnel
running across from north to south is somewhat smaller and the walls less

Narrowing Tunnel^
You are travelling along a tunnel which grows narrower as it heads east.

there a faint patch of natural light.

This is a curious place indeed. The cavern is vast, and in crossing it you

Pivotal Chamber^
You are in a wide chamber, carved into an almost perfect sphere. It is
very warm here, and you can hear a faint roaring sound and a rumbling coming
from below. Rows of shelves on the northern wall are stacked with empty
storage jars, each smelling vaguely of honey. You can hear faint voices
coming from beyond the north wall.

Royal Chamber^
You are in the chamber of the Queen ant. It smells somewhat musty to your
way of thinking, and the acrid odour of sulphur is stronger here too. A low
archway leads north into further caverns and chambers, but you cannot see very
well. For one thing, the fumes in the air are making your eyes water. The
shaking of the volcano as it erupts threatens to cast you from your feet.

Egg Cavern^
You are in a vast cavern filled with thousands of ant eggs. As you watch,
lava seeps into the cavern at the far end and begins to overwhelm the eggs.
You smile, satisfied of a job well done. To the east is another chamber. The
air is stiflingly hot in here and you begin to sweat.

Ant Nursery^
This cavern is where the larval ants are fed. However, the place is in a
state of some disarray as the cavern is slowly filling up with lava, engulfing
workers and larvae alike. To the north a small tunnel leads up a shallow
slope. The roar of the eruption fills your ears.

Playroom^
This is a smaller cavern, and it is cooler than the previous ones. Its
function is not immediately apparent, for it is practically bare save for a
layer of straw strewn across the floor. The tunnel continues northwards,
climbing steadily. The volcano's rumbling shakes your bones.

Northern Exit Tunnel^
You are in a small tunnel leading out of the mountain. The volcano
continues to rumble and shake around you, and pieces of rock fall from the
roof around you. Looking out to the north, you can see the river flowing past
close by in an easterly direction.

By The River^
You are standing at the edge of the river, which flows westwards from here
with a great sense of urgency. It completely blocks your path, and you cannot
see where you can go from here unless it is back into the erupting mountain.

Swept Downstream^
You are in the river, being carried downstream at an alarming rate! As you
struggle to keep your head above water, you see the scenery flashing past and
wonder if you will be swept all the way down to the sea. Suddenly, however,
you are winded by a hard thud as you collide with a wooden post sticking out
of the water. You cling to it like a drowned rat, and when you have recovered
somewhat you realise that it is the remnants of an old wooden pier that you
have washed up against.
