#5000 Entrance to The Zoo~ A wrought iron fence stands before you, with a gate in the middle, leading into the Zoo. Rumour has it that people have been disappearing inside, but the idyllic appearance of the zoo implies that it is nothing more than a fun family spot. Moon lilys climb all over the gate, blooming at night. ~ ~ 0 1 D1 ~ gate~ 1 -1 5001 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 2074 S #5001 In the Zoo~ A small gravel path leads through the zoo here.

To the north, a barricade is across the path, blocking off the part of the zoo that is being held for future expansion. A manhole cover smokes slightly.

There is a bit of hay strewn around for them to eat, but little else. ~ ~ 0 2 D2 ~ ~ 1 -1 5002 S #5010 In the Duck Pond~ This is a somewhat muddy pond, with lilys around the edges. ~ ~ 0 6 D0 ~ ~ 1 -1 5002 S #5011 The Snake Cage~ There are rocks all about here, with weeds around them.

There are suspiscious piles around the shore too. ~ ~ 4 6 S #5016 The Kangaroo Cage~ You are in the Kangaroo Cage. The floor is covered with grasses, and it appears that the kangaroos are quite cramped in here. ~ ~ 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 1 -1 5005 S #5017 Inside a manhole, under the zoo.~ This chamber is small and cramped, unlit, and very smelly. Apparently this is an access chamber to the pipes that supply water to the zoo, and run the, err, waste, back out. Some of the pipes are leaking, and it appears that one of them is leaking something strange... A small passageway leads south from here. ~ ~ 1 11 E pipe~ A few of the pipes are leaking water or smelly sewage from the animal cages. One, however, catches your attention. The liquid it is leaking is {Gglowing{w, and appears to be etching holes in the brick floor of the chamber. ~ D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5018 D4 ~ manhole~ 1 -1 5006 S #5018 A cramped passageway~ Pipes run through this very cramped passageway, leaking water and sewage from the animal cages. Silence permeates the air louder than any noise is capable of, with at least 15 feet of rock, dirt and paving above the chamber. There is no dust, however, suggesting someone is down here often. Routine maintenance is not likely considering the state of disrepair of these pipes. The pipes enter a small tunnel which is much to small for anything larger than a pixie to fit through. Something doesn't seem right, however. There has to be another way out of this room than back to the north ... ~ ~ 1 11 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5017 D1 ~ secret door~ 65 -1 5019 S #5019 A narrow crawlspace~ This crawspace is dug out of the dirt, and looks very dangerous. It is barely large enough to crawl through, and has a distinctive smell that is a mixture of the deep soil and something else. ~ ~ 5 11 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5020 D3 ~ secret door~ 65 -1 5018 S #5020 A narrow crawlspace~ This crawspace is dug out of the dirt, and looks very dangerous.

It is barely large enough to crawl through, and has a distinctive smell that is a mixture of the deep soil and something else. The crawlspace takes a southern turn here. The air is getting warmer than the cool underground, and coming from the south. ~ ~ 1 11 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5022 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5020 S #5022 A narrow crawlspace~ This crawspace is dug out of the dirt, and looks very dangerous.

A warm breeze is blowing through the crawlspace from the south. ~ ~ 1 11 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5021 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5023 S #5023 Dead-End~ The crawlspace ends here. There is no apparent exit, but the warm breeze is still coming from the south. An illusion perhaps? ~ ~ 1 11 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5022 D2 ~ ~ 65 -1 5024 S #5024 A small room~ Behind the door, the crawlspace opens out into a small wood-walled chamber. A small torch flickers weakly on the wall, keeping the room warm and lit. A ladder leads down through a hole in the floor. ~ ~ 276 0 D0 ~ ~ 65 -1 5023 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 10401 S #0
