Cave of Waterfalls - Natural Springs
The source of Rabite Forest's water, the natural springs gush out from
within the earth. A large natural-made basin collects the water before
it continues north to Rabite Springs, where it gushes out to the world
above. A small path leads to the northwest and northeast, no matter
they appear to go around the large lake.

(Zombie) A zombie lurks around the shadows, waiting for its next meal.

Imbibobot shudders all of a sudden. Looks like he was out of commission for a while.

Armandine yawns.

Armandine rubs his eyes.

Imbibobot looks all around, then suddenly remembers about the springs.

Armandine says 'Good nap, kupo.'

Armandine looks around

You say 'This is more than I ever imagined.'

You say 'A thousand of us could drink here and it would not run dry.'

Armandine nods.

Armandine looks into the spring.

Imbibobot walks over to the edge of the springs, cups his hands to the water, and takes a sip.

Armandine says 'How's it taste?'

You Hmmmm out loud.

Armandine says 'Gettin' a buzz?'

Imbibobot opens and closes his mouth a few times and synthesizes a lip-smacking sound on his onboard speakers.

Imbibobot laments that robots do not actually have lips.

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

You say 'I do not feel anything.'

You say 'Where is the alcohol?'

Armandine frowns.

Armandine says 'I guess it was just water after all.'

A zombie says 'Braaains...'

Imbibobot puts his face to the springs and takes a realllllly big gulp.

Armandine stares blankly at a zombie.

You Hmmmm out loud.

You say 'Still nothing.'

Armandine looks around a bit.

You say '...brains?'

Armandine pokes a zombie in the ribs.

You peer at it quizzically.

You say 'You are telling us that you are smart?'

You say 'Do you know where the alcohol is?'

Armandine looks at a zombie.

You say 'If you have all the brains, then what is the answer?'

Armandine says 'He doesn't seem the chatty type.'

A zombie probably doesn't speak English.

Armandine says 'I guess it only knows one word.'

You say 'What word is that?'

Armandine points to his head, 'Brains of course!'

All a zombie hears is 'BLUH BLUH BLUH BRAINS BLUH BLUH'

Armandine sits down and thinks deeply.

A zombie smacks its lips and gazes at Armandine.

Armandine says 'ah!'

Armandine says 'I know that look.'

Armandine says 'He's hungry! '

Armandine nods.

Armandine rummages through his pack for a tasty zombie treat.

A zombie would be really excited about the prospect of a treat if he knew what was going on.

Armandine takes out a yellow apple. 'Here you go, lil guy! Kupo!'

Armandine gives a yellow apple to a zombie.

A zombie sniffs it gingerly.

A zombie says 'Brains?'

A zombie eats a yellow apple.

Armandine says 'Of course! Everything has brains. Even apples'

A zombie doesn't look too pleased.

Cave of Waterfalls - Fork in the Road
The eastern caverns appear to end their spectrum road here, as they
diverge into two different paths. To the northwest a load roar can be
heard as rubble and dust fills the air. To the northeast the eastern
caverns merge with the caverns of the north.

Saturn Valley - Southeast of Pond
From here, one can see the outlying areas of the valley. Further off, to
the west and northeast, stand modern-looking huts. Directly to the north,
surrounded by some rocks, is a small pond filled with clear water. The
grass is trim here, obviously taken care of by the Mr. Saturns.

Armandine leans on Mr. Saturn's shoulder.

Armandine says 'You know it!'

Mr. Saturn twirls his whiskers in appreciation.

Saturn Valley - A Small Pond
Surronded by moss-covered rocks, this pond marks the middle of the base
of Saturn Valley. Natural water wells up here from underground, which the
Mr. Saturns often enjoy bathing in. The water is shallow enough that it
only reaches halfway up a Mr. Saturn's body, which is convenient since the
Mr. Saturns cannot easily swim.

You say 'Hmm. No alcohol here either.'

Armandine says 'Hmm'

Armandine says 'Well i know another place.. it has pink liquid in it!'

Armandine says 'That must be the source!'

Armandine says 'It was pink and makes you feel great. What else could it be?'

Armandine says 'Watch out for the birds here'

Armandine says 'They are pretty mad.'

Armandine says 'Don't ask me why though. Birds are just too mysterious for me.'

Saturn Valley - Inside a Cave
This cave appears to be a juncture between two different parts of Saturn
Valley. Mr. Saturns often gather here to discuss current events and other-
wise socialize. Downwards lies the base of the valley and to the north the
cave exits to the valley's upper rim.

Saturn Valley - Below a Ladder
The grass grows thickly here and the ground beneath you feels slightly
warm, as if something was heating it from within. Next to you, a ladder
scales the valley wall, leading upwards onto an elevation. The rim you are

Armandine agrees with you.

Saturn Valley - Hot Springs
Edging the hot springs, several Mr. Saturn-sized rocks sit here.
Expanding clouds of steam emanate from the springs, heating up the area
several degrees. Unlike that found in traditional hot springs, the water
here is pink in color. It feels as if just resting here could cleanse one
of bad odor and wounds alike. A coffee table stands to the southeast.

Imbibobot walks over to the hot springs, cups his hands in the pink water, and takes a sip.

Imbibobot plays that fake lip-smacking sound again.

You say '...spicy?'

Armandine says 'I'd try some myself but I've got a bit of a headache from all my previous inspiriation.'

Mr. Saturn says 'Zooom! Sorry.'

Armandine boggles in complete incomprehension of Mr. Saturn's actions.

Mr. Saturn says 'Was chili eating boing. Spilled some.'

Mr. Saturn says 'Hot springs wash paprika off body.'

Armandine says 'Hmm that gives me an idea for a new stew recipe...'

You say 'Where are you hiding the alcohol!'

Mr. Saturn says 'Booze? Boooooze? Boo hoo boo zzz.'

Mr. Saturn looks at Armandine.

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

Mr. Saturn says 'What he talking about, boing?'

Armandine says 'I guess the Mr Saturns don't know about liquor after all.'

Armandine says 'Ah ha!'

Armandine leaps into the air as an idea pops into his head.

Armandine says 'I know who we should ask!'

Armandine nod nod nod nod nods.

You say 'Who?'

Cave of Waterfalls - Trial of Tears
Small brooks carve the path, as they appear to be run off from the creek
and falls to the east. The sound of birds chirping decreases as the
woods become thicker. To the west a small opening can be seen, it
appears to be an entrance of some sorts.

Different paths collide in this small clearing. To the northeast, the
lake can be accessed, while to the southeast the road to the entrance
can be reached, after a long hike back. To the northwest a footbridge

Forest can be accessed.

Rabite Forest - Lakeside Cabin
Constructed simply of rough wooden logs with no finishing or insulation,
this airy cottage is dry and pleasant, probably serving as someone's hunting
lodge or summer retreat. Heavy rafters form the ceiling and there is no
furniture. The door outside is to the south and another door lies north.

(] Exits: [north] south [)
A rickety old ladder sticks through a hole in the ceiling.
The tall humanoid cat, Nikita, paces around the room.

Nikita says 'Come in!'

Armandine says 'Hiya again, Nikky!'

Nikita waves happily.

Nikita says 'Who's your friend?'

Armandine says 'This here's my good pal Drinkmath.'

Armandine nods in agreement with you.

Nikita looks at you with a bit of disbelief.

Nikita says 'How... uh, cosmopolitan.'

Armandine nods.

Armandine says 'Yeah, we're here on a sacred holy quest of rightousness and spirituality.'

Armandine says 'Maybe other things too! Kupo.'

Imbibobot gets all caught up in the moment.

Imbibobot slams his metal fists against the wall, then points at Nikita.

You say 'Where are you hiding the alcohol?!'

Armandine gasps in astonishment.

Nikita gasps in astonishment.

Armandine says 'Woah there drinky! Calm down!'

Nikita rears back and slaps you cruelly for your stupidity, sending you sprawling to the floor.

Armandine says 'You'll scare the poor guy.'

Nikita looks at Armandine.

Nikita says 'Dear, what in heaven's name is he talking about?'

Armandine says 'Sorry bout him, he gets kind of excited!'

Armandine says 'Anykupo, you know 'bout that rabite fountain deeper in the forest?'

Armandine says ''s filled with wonderous necter!'

Nikita says 'Tastefully decorated, nice ambiance, horrible black rabite near it.'

Nikita says 'Of course! I know all about it.'

Armandine agrees with Nikita.

Armandine says 'I thought you might!'

Armandine says 'Me and Drinkmath are on a holy quest to find the source of the fountain!'

Armandine nudges you.

Armandine says 'See! Told you this guy would know!'

Nikita says 'The source? That's an easy one! That fountain is hooked up to the Cave of Waterfalls.'

Armandine scratches his head in confusion.

Nikita says 'You'd be surprised. Some of these rabites are purrfectly good engineers.'

Armandine thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Armandine says 'Aw but we were just there! Found a big' ol lake but it was just water!'

Armandine pouts.

Nikita says 'Oh, that's not where the nectar comes from!'

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

Nikita says 'Haven't you seen these bees in the forest? Can hardly go for a stroll without one buzzing into you.'

Armandine says 'Hmm! Yeah yeah I've seen em!'

Armandine does a bee dance in response.

Nikita says 'They drop nectar in the fountain occasionally. It all mixes together.'

You shake your head.

You say 'We do not care about nectar. Where does the alcohol come from?!'

Imbibobot is getting impatient again.

Nikita says 'Haven't you ever heard of fermentation, dear?'

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

You say 'Of course I have!'

Imbibobot whispers to Armandine 'What is she talking about?'

Armandine looks at Nikita.

Armandine whispers back, 'Turning necter into booze!'

Nikita loosk bemused.

Nikita looks bemused.

Armandine whispers back, 'also i think that's a boy-cat!'

Armandine sits down and thinks deeply.

Imbibobot whispers back, 'What is a boy?'

Nikita laughs.

Armandine looks back to Nikita, 'Ah of course!'

Armandine whispers back, 'I'll explain later kupo!'

Nikita says 'There is a tremendous amount of it! Those bees have been dropping nectar in there for years.'

Armandine says 'Hmm I wonder why they drop their necter in there anyway.'

Armandine shrugs helplessly.

Nikita says 'It's a bit disgusting when you think about it.'

Armandine says 'Oh well. Bees are just as mysterious as birds as well'

You say '!'

Armandine will never understand the birds and the bees.

You say 'Copilot!'

Armandine salutes you.

You say 'The scope of our pilgrimage has expanded.'

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

You say 'Think of all the alcohol that must be in that fountain.'

Armandine thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

You say 'For us, the devout, it is an infinite supply.'

You drink nectar from a water bottle.

Armandine nods.

You say 'But imagine if we could quench the masses.'

Armandine listens quitely, while munching on an apple.

Armandine eats a yellow apple.

You say 'Push back the demon of sobriety. Push it into the shadows where it belongs.'

Armandine says 'Yeah.. yeah!'

Armandine says 'Power to the people!'

You say 'Nectar to the people!'

You say 'We must find a way to bring the good drink of the fountain to Truce.'

Armandine says 'Hmm!!'

Armandine says 'Well we could.. get some barrels!'

You say 'And then, when the people drink, they will know God and want to Lend Him a Buck!'

You say 'As it is written.'

Armandine says 'Or .. we could go around town and spread the word!'

Armandine says 'Kupo.. I like the second idea better.'

Armandine says 'I don't think I could even pick up a barrel of booze.'

Imbibobot seems flabbergasted.

You say 'It comes... in barrels?'

Armandine says 'Oh yeah!'
