"Picking over the remnants of that bloody battle will prove quite advantageous, as long as you don't mind the smell. Not only did the monkeys fashion several abodes mounted in the branches of the trees in the compound, but they had quite a supply of various items on hand. For those who may have been concerned about islet over-crowding, it seems they need not worry; most of the homes remain undamaged, and aside from the strong smell of monkey, are completely habitable."

"Investigating the back of the compound will reveal a very small plot of farmland, where several rows of plants with dark green leaves can be seen growing. Anyone with a knack for identifying useful plants - or anyone who's simply willing to take one for the team and give them a taste - will soon discover that these leaves are the plants from which the monkeys drew their sedative. It makes quite a useful anesthetic in a pinch!"

"The sigil etched deeply onto the door itself will, as the Storyteller warned, be quite effective in keeping people out. The door repels any and all efforts to break through it; those sensitive to magic may note that it does indeed exude a very powerful and dense aura that makes its origins difficult to discern. One thing is clear, however: it will take a great deal more than teamwork between mortals to get through it." ( x )

[Welcome to the Mingle Log, Fam. Around you are the rotting corpses of many dead apes. There's also many items for you to lay claim to. Or you might feel like checking out those sweet sweet monkey nests. Or checking out that door. Whatever you feel like doing, leave a top level for people to pester you with. Or pester other people with top levels. The Mingle Log is your Oyster.]

[Wouldn't be the first time that someone on this island asked her what she is. At least this dryskin compliments her scales instead of calling her a lizard. That much is a definite step up in her books.]

I'm what's known as an Argonian. I'm... uh. I'm a person, same as men and mer, just... I come from trees, not whatever elves and humans come from.

[Divines or monkeys or something? It feels ridiculous to have to explain concepts like "hi, I'm a person," but that's apparently where this island's culture is at concerning things that aren't humans or at least reasonably human-faced.]

Got a fair tradition of mages among my people, but I'm sad to say I was never one of them. Might be a bit out of my depth on circumventing enchanted wards.
