The dripping ink caverns end at a strange outcropping at the very bottom of the island. The outlet opens up into what first may be assumed as a small town, but it is entirely silent with only a few faintly flickering candles placed within the windows. Though even with their glow, the fun of the festival has not touched this place.

The streets here are dark and lifeless, and an unsettling chill hangs in the air, causing many to instinctually huddle closer together or place their hands on their weapon hilts out of caution. Toppled wooden structures, puddles of ink, old crates, and all kinds of scraps litter the uneven stone and dirt paths that weave throughout the area. The most strange thing of all is that it is entirely abandoned.

Cteno

	[What is this place? This is not on any of our official maps, no. Who built these unauthorized structures!? The amount of work that will need to be done to deal with all this...]

 

 The ink trail finally stops in front of one building in particular. The creature is nowhere in sight.

This building had a strange energy seeping out from within. From one of the  windows a light flickers from inside. What could be on the other side of the door?

Cteno slows as they approached the building, looking towards Angea with concern written on their face. Angea on the other hand is looking on with curiosity and intensity. She whispers to those nearby.

Angea

	"Let's take a look around."

 

★ Prompt

Draw or write about your character investigating the strange abandoned village beneath the city.

What do you find hidden on these quiet roads or stowed away in the makeshift shacks?
✦✦✦

✦ There is no one here but you and the party of adventurers who dared to come this far. Though for some reason there is a feeling that something may jump out at any moment to attack. 

✦ Perhaps there is evidence of what these buildings were for, or why they were put here in the first place. None of them are locked, allowing easy access to explore their interiors for information or treasure left behind by those who once dwelled in this place.

 

What does your character do?

★ Species

Browbirds, Kitbulls, Painted Satyr
