Before I begin my story I must maintain that my sentence to death was a wrong and vile thing to do. I maintain that I am not a killer. I did not kill the schoolchildren the authorities decided to hang me for.
My sentence to death, I must maintain, is a huge misunderstanding. There must be forces out there against me, who conspired to put me in prison for this very experiment, this accursed expedition.
I am not deranged. I am not insane.
The man in the odd multicolored sweater paid me a visit a week before my scheduled execution date. “You are the former schoolteacher Chet Adami?” he asked, polite, offering me a plastic cup of coffee.
I nodded, taking a sip. “I didn’t kill those kids,” I reiterated, for about the thousandth time. “Are you the uh, priest guy? That comes before-”
He shook his head and waved away the guards. “My name is Canopy Hydrangea,” he introduced, extending a hand. I shook it. “I understand you may not be guilty, despite what the state believes.”
I nodded. “Finally, someone who-”
He cut me off. “I’m not interested in your story. Whether you die or not is of no consequence to the people I represent,” he continued. “But I am here to offer you a deal. There’s a place the people I represent need exploring, and I need volunteers.”
He produced a sheet of paper and a pen. “This agreement,” he clasped it into my hands, “has you join a team of expendable, uh, volunteers such as yourself on this expedition. You get in, get the things we need, and get out- and you’re free for life.”
This was better than dying in prison.
I asked him what place this was that I’d be sent to. He told me I had to sign the form first. “I’ll do it, then,” I cheered, signing the document.
He smiled and patted me on the shoulder. “We’ll even give you a whole new identity,” he offered. And with that, he seized the document away from me and left the building.
Within hours I was blindfolded, sedated, and transported. When I awoke I was strapped to a bed in a helicopter, with four others beside me, all beginning to wake up.
The man who’d offered me the deal was there too, sucking on a lollipop while rearranging documents and photographs.
These images, I assumed, was the place they wanted us to explore. They were mostly all aerial photos, a sea of endless green and the occasional bird. And yet, there was more- images of impossible landscapes, dreamlike beings.
“Ah, you guys are awake!” he clapped once, and walked over.
The next few moments were a flash as he re-injected us with some sort of blue, wriggling substance. It was cold, and I swear it pulsed inside my arm.
Then we had landed, and the group was quickly taken inside a compound. We were freed and sat down in some sort of meeting room. More people were inside.
A blue haired lady joined the man.
“Welcome, volunteers,” he announced, pointing to a projector. “You are all, save for one, prisoners on death row,” he reminded. “This offer today is simple- you enter the forest, travel to an outpost we have recently lost contact with,” he turned on the projector, displayed a bright red cylinder labeled ‘SYSTEM RECORDER-A32’, “and recover this data module.”
The woman spoke next. “Easy, right?” she counted us. “We’ll provide maps,” she gestured to tablets. “But this forest is different.”
They proceeded to explain the reason they need ‘volunteers’ for the assignment then.
We were on an island somewhere in the Java Sea. The island had a massive forest in the center, one that at first glance seemed as normal as ever. This changed when an international mining company sent in a team of geologists to determine if there was anything of note beyond the forest.
This team never returned.
Nor did a second team, armed with weapons. Or an environmentalist group that ventured in to document new species. So then the organization our recruiters had come from entered the forest.
We were on the outskirts of the forest, at a place they were calling Ake Base.
Over the past month, they had begun to map the forest and determine why so many hadn’t returned. The reason was illogical- the forest was bigger than the island itself.
Drones that ventured in should have come out the other side- yet remained inside the forest, encountering bizarre phenomena and creatures undocumented.
Every so often, the forest would slope downwards, revealing a new layer with new and distinct ecosystems.
“Recently though,” Canopy concluded, “we’ve lost contact with several outposts in the third layer to eighth layers.” He changed the slide to one of the lost outposts, standing alone amidst a vibrant, alien forest. “You enter the forest, get to your team’s assigned outpost, get back out with the data and you’ll be set for life.”
“Does anyone choose to rescind their agreement?” the woman asked. “It’s either death, or this, and frankly, your chances here aren’t that better.”
There were some who raised their hands. “Hell no!” a man shouted. “I’m goin’ back to life!” The woman had them taken away. We heard gunfire outdoors. No life row for him.
Whoever they were- they were serious about this.
They started to call out names and assign teams.
My team, was small, four of us. There was a mercenary named Leo who kept talking about the food the organization had brought us. He seemed pleasant, charismatic, and I almost forgot he was a criminal.
There was a scientist called Anya who, as she joked, was ‘serving infinite life sentences’ for crimes against humanity. She was given the codes and a booklet of things to watch out for in what they called the ‘Sea of Green’.
Then there was Gail. She was quieter than the three of us, and had an almost eerie vibe to her. She didn’t tell us what she’d done to get here, but she was there nonetheless.
Thankfully, we were given the closest- and safest outpost. A little place in Layer Three, marked by the map as only a few hours walk away.
We set off the next day.
The forest, in the beginning, seemed to almost invite us in. The birds chirped and danced, unafraid of mankind. We even fed them the nuts we’d been given as breakfast rations, which they seemed to enjoy.
About an hour in, things changed. The light from the sun barely pierced the canopy, and at times, we had to utilize our flashlights to see what was in front of us. Leo took the lead, hacking away at the branch and vine in front of us.
The forest was starting to look like a jungle- and yet, as we traversed it never seemed to choose which one it wanted to be.
“Wait!” Anya hissed, as we crossed a stream that seemed oddly familiar. She read from the booklet, then to the map on tablets we’d been given. “We’ve made a circle.”
Leo shook his head. “That’s impossible,” he insisted. “I don’t remember turning.”
“Yeah,” I agreed, catching up from behind.
Anya shared the booklet. “It’s one first phenomena researchers encounter,” she explained. “This place plays tricks on us- we need to follow the stream.”
“But then,” Gail pointed out, “we’d be going in the wrong direction.”
“Trust the book,” Anya concluded. We followed the stream then, and the path started to grow denser, as if the forest hated us for traveling further. But the path was right, and the forest changed as we journeyed.
An hour later the forest had changed. It had sloped downwards a bit, inviting us to the second layer of the maze. The trees seemed higher, and the light was now gone completely.
This was when we started to hear it. Click-click.
“What was that?” I asked, turning. Click-click.
Anya rushed through the book. “It’s not documented.”
Click-click. And then we saw lights in the distance, lights that as we continued walking, were revealed to us as bulbous fruit on the trees that glowed an eerie electric blue.
Click-click. “You sure it’s not in that book?” Leo questioned, switching his machete out for a gun. Click-click.
The clicks were getting louder, each one sending a jolt of uneasy fear down my spine. We moved closer together now, fearing the unknown that were in these- A bush in front of us rustled. Leo aimed his weapon.
A deer- no, something like a deer popped out, gently squawking. It was… wrong in every sense, but it seemed more occupied in chewing a flower than us.
The small creature had the antlers of a deer, yes, but it also had the face of an old man. Not to mention six fists full of thumbs at the end of its legs. It inspected a glowing fruit with it’s odd thumbs.
“Ew,” Gail commented, disgusted. “What the hell is that?”
Anya didn’t have time to look for answers before a black, insectine limp shot out of one of the bulbous fruits and impaled the deer-thing. It screamed an all too human scream and struggled.
We backed away- and by then, the noise was overwhelming. Click-clickClick-clickClick-clickClickclickClickclickClick-clickClick-click. They erupted from every single one of the bulbous fruits, and things began to pour out of them.
The limbs, see, were attached to a head. The a simple sphere that opened into buzzsaws of teeth that grotesquely clicked as they opened. The face-deer only screamed as the clicking creatures devoured it.
“Run!” Leo reminded, shooting as some started to near us. “Run!”
That shook us out, and we ran, terror in our very veins. They seemed more interested in the fallen deer than us- but we still ran until we could no longer.
Actually, it was until I fell off and entered the third layer.
A weight appeared on my chest and I fought it off, thinking I was about to die- but the soft, furry creature atop me jumped off. It wasn’t one of the clicking monsters.
And then I realized the third layer was bright. The trees themselves were glowing now, not the insect fruits of before. And there were a whole host of new, bizarre creatures.
The thing I’d pushed off was some sort of rabbit, covered in glowing blue stripes. If layer two had been a forest of darkness this was it’s very opposite.
In the skies there were ribbons of glowing creatures- thin kites on an unseen wind. The trees were alive with all sorts of furried friends, darting here and there and eating odd colored berries that didn’t seem real.
Anya pointed and spoke, “Look!” It was the outpost, in ruins.
“But what attacked it?” Gail murmured, as we walked over.
We entered through a hole in the wall. The place was oddly peaceful, calming, now home to bioluminescent little ants that dotted the place. Occasionally, one or two of the face-deer would appear, licking the dots up with twin tongues that emerged from it’s too-human face.
“Cute,” Leo joked, picking one up and stroking it. It screamed back at him, chilling and he dropped it. “Never doing that again.”
The place was… too peaceful. And- “what happened to their bodies?” I posited. “If they were attacked- where’s their blood? Their corpses?”
Anya shrugged. “It is odd- perhaps they got devoured.” She gestured to the many oddities around us. “But you’re right, there should be bones, at least.”
This was when we heard the screaming. And all of a sudden every single creature retreated away, disappearing from view, save for the tiny ants inside with us. The screaming was a cacophony of voices, realer than the ones we’d heard from the face-deer.
“I think we need to go,” Leo whispered, holding out the red ‘data module’ in his hands. “Now.”
The screaming got ever closer, and the trees in front of the outpost, beyond a window, started to shake. “I concur.”
We were backing away when we heard the squelching of something loud and heavy. Turning around, we saw the screaming creature we’d heard. It was massive, fleshy, and filled with tiny gaping holes, some filled with eyes, all rising, breathing as one.
I nearly threw up. But that was for a different reason.
The holes were one thing. But the screaming, severed bodies of dozens of people attached the the eye-full monster was another. They screamed and screamed, their bodies unneatly joined and sown into the creature.
It sniffed the air and walked over to the glass, looking in as we hid. “What is it?” I squealed. “What the hell is that?”
The face of a victim in military clothes appeared at the window, screaming, face slowly popping, skin repairing and being digested all at once. Anya flipped through the pages. “They called it a Fleshweave. It absorbs bodies and eats them that way.”
That would explain the lack of bodies we’d seen.
The window shattered- and the thing began to force itself on it, flesh turning to churned cylinders through the window. The bodies, crushed further, screamed some more.
So we ran as the beasts fell into the room with a plop. And despite it’s heavy, gluttonous form it charged forwards, faster than it looked.
Out the outpost we went. I felt a meaty hand hit me and then I fell. It stalked towards me, but a gunshot from Leo burst it’s pus-ridden hand, covered my in grotesque, viscous liquid.
I picked myself up and ran from the screaming thing, up the steep slope and climbing onto the second layer.
I fell again, but Anya caught me, helping me up.
Leo did the same for Gail- but she slipped and fell back into the third layer. The thing approached her, all of it’s pulsing eyes upon her. “Help me!” she bellowed. “Don’t leave me-”
Leo prepared to jump down- but it was too late. The Fleshweave simply picked her up and it opened it’s skin, forging her into her body- er, her top half,- it severed the rest.
“Go!” I snapped, dragging the mercenary to action. The creature behind us lifted itself onto the dark forest and continued to follow.
Gail, merged with the other unfortunate bodies, screamed. I almost stopped in terror from the sound, but flight-or-fight forced me to continue.
Click-click. We found ourselves back in the center of the abode with the insect fruit. And the insects were clearly attracted to the stench of decay the monster emanated. Limbs emerged, and the face-beetles jumped up and swarmed the creatures.
I don't know if the creature was killed by it. I only remember Gail’s face as the insects started to pick her body- and so many others like her- apart.
The way out seemed harder than going in, but we made it. We survived. We reached the outpost and handed our data module to the man who’d offered us the deal. “Impressive,” he congratulated. “You’re the first team back.”
“I want out now,” I panted. “Back to real life.”
He patted me on the shoulder and gave me a sad smile. “According to the world you’ve already died by suicide in your cell,” he informed. “See, there’s a way the people I work for have operated so cleanly for the past few centuries.” He paused and took a step back. “We can’t afford loose ends, see, and you’ve shown us you have the guts to survive Bandai La- er, the Sea of Green.”
I took a step back, panicking. “What do you mean?”
He sighed. “We can’t give you a new life and risk exposing our operation here,” he explained. “And we still need ah, expendable people to lead us to whatever’s in the center of the island.” He handed me a can of soda. “Welcome to your new life. The Company really values your dedication as a treasured employee.”
​
​
But I don’t want this. I was promised freedom. And they can’t keep me from exposing them- I’ve typed this up and Anya did something to the tablet so I can receive and post things online.
I’m not sure if this’ll work. But if it is: I’m on an island somewhere in the Java Sea. There’s a forest that goes on forever and I’m being held as some sort of explorer by some Company.
Find me. Before I die.

In the eerie stillness of a cold October night, the moon cast long shadows upon the desolate landscape surrounding an abandoned hospital. Rumors of its dark past had circulated among the townsfolk, warning of the horrors that had transpired within its decaying walls. However, driven by a morbid curiosity, a young girl named Emily ventured into the forsaken building, oblivious to the terror that awaited her.
As she stepped through the creaking doors, the stale scent of decay permeated the air, sending a shiver down her spine. Flickering lights cast an unsettling glow on the dilapidated hallways, where remnants of medical equipment lay strewn about like forgotten relics. Emily's heart pounded in her chest, a mix of fear and anticipation coursing through her veins.
As she cautiously explored the labyrinthine corridors, the echoing sounds of her footsteps seemed to be drowned out by an unnerving silence. Each door she passed exuded an ominous aura, as if guarding the secrets of the hospital's sinister past. With trembling hands, she reached out to push open one of the doors, revealing a room filled with jars—rows upon rows of jars.
Inside these glass prisons, the moonlight revealed an unsettling sight. Floating in murky liquid were human organs, pickled in their grotesque forms. The labels on the jars were faded, but Emily could still make out words like "heart," "brain," and "eyes." A wave of nausea washed over her, threatening to consume her fragile courage.
In her exploration, Emily stumbled upon a hidden room, concealed behind a crumbling wall. As she entered, the foul stench of decay grew stronger. The flickering lightbulb revealed a macabre sight—a makeshift operating theater, a place where unspeakable acts had been committed. Bloodstains adorned the cold, metallic table, and rusted surgical tools lay scattered haphazardly.
Terrified yet transfixed, Emily's eyes were drawn to a row of journals stacked upon a rotting shelf. The pages were filled with the deranged ramblings of disturbed minds. They chronicled grotesque experiments conducted on unwitting patients, describing the doctors' descent into madness and their insatiable hunger for knowledge.
As Emily leafed through the journals, her mind reeled with horror. The doctors had experimented on their victims, seeking to unlock the mysteries of life and death. They had fused limbs together, attempted to create new organs, and conducted unimaginable surgical procedures on the living. The pages spoke of screams that echoed through the night and the haunting pleas for mercy that went unanswered.
With a growing sense of dread, Emily realized that she was not alone in the abandoned hospital. Faint whispers seemed to emanate from the darkened corners, sending chills down her spine. Shadows danced in her periphery, hinting at the presence of something sinister, something that thrived on pain and suffering.
Panic seized Emily as she desperately tried to find an exit, but the hospital seemed to have transformed into a labyrinth of despair. Every hallway led her deeper into the heart of darkness. The whispers grew louder, the shadows more menacing, as if mocking her feeble attempts to escape their clutches.
In a final act of desperation, Emily burst through a door, stumbling into an operating room that remained untouched by time. As she turned to face the door she had just passed through, she froze in terror. The deranged doctors, their faces twisted with madness, stood before her, their bloodstained hands reaching out, eager to continue their grisly experiments.
Screaming, Emily sprinted through the hospital, her heart pounding in her ears. The doctors pursued her relentlessly, their maniacal laughter echoing through the decaying corridors. With every step, her hope waned, until
she found herself trapped in a dead-end room, surrounded by the horrors of her own making.
As the doctors closed in, their scalpels glinting in the dim light, Emily's fate seemed sealed. The abandoned hospital claimed another victim, ensnaring her in its web of nightmares and despair. And on that cold October night, her cries of terror were drowned out by the relentless darkness that consumed her.

I was wondering what the running list of sacrifices/boons were, and if they related to ones that involved spilling blood or not.
So far we have:

• Sacrifice (no blood): Adult travis
• Boon: None, if anything it made things worse
  
• Sacrifice (no blood): Laura Lee
  
• Boon: None, if anything it seems like they were punished
  
• Sacrifice (blood): Travis (cut on his throat from Doomscoming)
  
• Boon: Bear. I know we’re lead to believe the Bear was a result of losing Javi, but as Javi actually survives, I’m willing to believe it might be from Travis because it was taken against his will
  
• Sacrifice (blood): Baby/Intentional offerings from the team
  
• Boon: Shauna survives
  
• Sacrifice (some blood? But I’m going to say no blood because there was no cutting involved): Crystal
  
• Boon: None
  
• Sacrifice (no blood): Kevin
  
• Boon: TBD, but I’m willing to guess as that wasn’t in the name of the wilderness, Kevin dying was an actual Boon for Natalie’s sacrifice
  
• Sacrifice (maybe blood?): Adult Nat, the reason I’m saying maybe blood is because Lottie also got shot against her will
  
• Boon: Shauna seems to be off the hook for the murder, TBD about the others
  
• Sacrifice (no blood): Javi
  
• Boon: Punishment, cabin is on fire (in the girls minds). I think this might be why the girls go back to doing bloody sacrifices next season
  

Ones I’m not really sure about:

• Sacrifice (no blood): Jackie
• Boon: Snackie (Although that could also be a boon from any of the times Lottie spilled blood before at the altars, the blood spilled from the small cut on Travis from Doomsgiving, the bear). Also, like Laura Lee, there seems to be no boon. If anything, it seemed like a punishment, possibly because she also did not believe in the wilderness
  
• Sacrifice (blood): Adam
  
• Boon: Really not sure about this one. It brought the team back togetheShauna’s family weirdly strengthened
  
• Sacrifice (blood): Ben’s leg and/or the other coach’s gory death
  
• Boon: They found the cabin
  

The only pattern I’m really seeing is that the ones where the team intentionally give blood seem to result in obvious boon. You could argue Laura Lee, Jackie, Javi, Crystal, and Adult Travis’ death could be construed as punishments.

They were slowly making their descent towards the verdant planet below. Earth, according to their people back home. The long lost home planet of the humans that preceded them in the ancient times. According to the annals it was a planet on the brink of atmospheric collapse, caused by centuries of unmitigated disastrous handling by their ancestors. They had abandoned the place to seek refuge among the stars and, whether they deserved it or not, they had found it. This was the first mission of many that were send to scout the situation on the planet. The dream had always been to one day return. Most of human history here had been lost and what remained was often written in forgotten languages. Yet, to the crew of the ship, it immediately felt like home.
As the landing gear his the soft ground covered by lush green undercover, the crew packed their necessities. They would sleep in the spaceship at night, but venture as far as they could during daylight. Trying to map the ancient cities and industrial complexes, that were pictured in the ancient texts. With a rumble through the metal flooring, they knew they had truly arrived. The hatch opened and provided a path to this forgotten world.
The first thing the crew noted, was the overabundance of forest around them. On the imagery back at home, this world was depicted as largely barren. Here everything was covered in thick layers of overlapping growth. The air buzzing with life that in no way resembled what they were prepared for. No sign of the large geometric skylines of the cities, not the fast gray fields of asphalt. Oxygen meters cited an abundance of oxygen. Which was somewhat remarkable, as ancients legends spoke of a lack of clean air being on of the reasons for the great migration. The party set out on food, through the field of trees and bushes.
Every now and then they’d find an overgrown structure that hinted at ancient settlers. The architecture was brutish, pragmatic, but not dissimilar from the architecture at home. That recognition sparked a sense of belonging inside. This place was strange, but also recognizable. In the same way you would recognize a square shaped out of negative space. There were signs of pre-migration human civilizations to be seen here and it was oddly beautiful.
The crew had wandered further than intended, distracted by the sights. The regional star was dropping below the horizon, casting longer and longer shadows through the already dark forest. The stumbled upon what looked to be a large underground complex. Large steel hatches closed of a concrete structure. It was easy enough to shatter the decayed lock and chain. The loud sound of snapping metal echoing through the eerie silence that had accompanied the departure of light. They had enough supplies to spend the night in this bunker, albeit not ideal. One of the party stepped in first, flashlight held in front of him he slowly stepped down the staircase into the darkness. It was less deep than they had anticipated. After about twenty meters they hit the ground floor. One of them tried the switch, more out of curiosity than expectation, but the lights in the complex turned on, to everyone’s surprise. That must have been some reliable power generator they installed in here.
They strolled across rows and rows of barrels. Steel drums, all yellow in color, positioned carefully. It almost seemed like a piece of art or something. Each of them carrying a label. Yellow with a thick black outline and in the middle a black trefoil made out of triangles. None of the records back at home had carried knowledge of these symbols. But if this place was so well preserved, they must have been important. They decided to roll one of these barrels out of it’s socket and pried open the lid, careful not to damage it. The walls of the thing were much thicker than they had looked from the outside. It was a thin steel sheet bolted to thick lead on the inside. That explained why the things were so heavy. The barrel was filled with a thick resin like substance, carrying pieces of something that radiated a beautiful luminescent green. Out of curiosity they switched of their flashlights and in the dark they could truly admire the artistry of this barrel. It was like looking upon the stars in the sky, but in a barrel. Captured galaxies they would call them.
They'd spend the rest of the night opening more of these containers. Each of them containing more ore less the same. Some in different colors, some with less and some with more of those pretty stars. They had decided to give up on sleep and take the day off tomorrow. This discovery told them something real and unknown about their ancient ancestors. Each of the crew giddy about what the others at home would say to this wonderful discovery. They weren’t exactly getting tired, but carrying those barrels must’ve taken a toll on their bodies. Exhaustion, in the form of a terrible headache and muscle ache set in. It was also deceptively hot in this bunker as some of our crew began to undress to cool down from the intense sweaty fevers they were experiencing. It was when one of them started vomiting that they decided it was time to leave the discovery rest for now and try and get some sleep. They could carry one of those barrels to the ship the next morning and examine it there. They all dozed off, exhausted, in pain and feverish, but at home.

Backrooms are a shade infinite space, level 0 is an example of that , and plants could be used as dangerous oasis to recharge water, backrooms can be interesting and some big flower plants could be introduced by noclipping in backrooms and polinised by dangerous entities and be interesting how they could let decay backrooms , if you walk for oasis places with fruits ,and exuberant flower there will be any monster, so oasis are a very dangerous place

I recently got some awesome boxes/trays from a thrift store and I want to use them for deity altars (Eos and Hecate) but is it okay to also decorate them with fake flowers? I would go to a craft store to get them as realistic as possible, but I also don’t want to offend either of them since they’re not real flowers.

I've been a Hellenist for about a few months, but for some reason I'm suddenly feeling drawn to Anubis. I saw the statue, and thinking "why the heck not" I bought it. And for some reason, I've been subconsciously saying "gods of Egypt!" As an exclamation, instead of my usual "gods of Olympus!", Which is a funny coincidence I guess. So now I'm going to be setting up an altar for Anubis, and hopefully in the future other Kemetic gods.

Hey guys, wownoob here. Three weeks ago ive started playing wow for the first time and im having a great time. Week ago i managed to hit lvl 70 and did lot of campaign quests to be able to travel to forbidden reach and the Cavern. I dont enjoy doing Mythic dungeons that much but I love collecting things so ive started collecting mounts. I want to get mount from breezebiter but the spawn rate is horrible so is there anyway to farm it faster? And im also trying to get the mount from rare enemies in forbidden reach but someone said that it can drop only first time you defeat the enemy and than you have to wait to next day. Is this true? Because someone on wowhead also wrote that this not apply on this mount. So whats the truth? If anyone has other tips for mount collecting or playing wow as new player ill be glad to read them. Thanks

I just picked up these new Ossuary campaign quests and I've hit a dead end. No info on Wowhead or any other site I could find, nothing when I search Google.
I had a quest named "Keeper's Rest" and all it said was I had to "escape to the Darkpath" - which I didn't know how to do. I apparently went the wrong way, swam through a tunnel and ended up in a lake in Tirisfal Glades west of the Undercity. I could find no way to get back into the tunnel. I found a big disc and my location changes to "underwater passage" and when I hit my map key, I see the Tomb of Tyr - but there is no way to get there. No opening, nothing to click on, etc. I have gone all over this lake and the big disc and see no way of getting back. I even went to Zidormi and change to "present time" thinking the disc would break or an opening would appear. No luck.
I dropped the quest and now I see an "available quest" appear in the Tomb of Tyr ("Keeper's Rest") - yet I still cannot get there.
I'm a druid in travel form and I've scoured the lake. I watched a (very long) YouTube claiming they found the Tomb, but they literally just found the disc and the same map reference and not a way in.
What the heck am I missing?

STRATEGY TIPS

This is the only type of event where point producing items can be stockpiled ahead of time; for info and links to guides on bubbling as a storage option, please visit the Community FAQ.
The following are the most efficient or popular ways to earn points:

• Tier 2 nests of most breeds yield 900 points per tap, for a total of 3,600 to 6,300 points per nest.
• High level Goal Stars are an excellent source of points; the exact number of taps available varies by level and random chance.
  • L6 Star- 1056, L5 Star- 330, L4 Star- 99
• Level 2 Materials Chests offer unlimited quick and easy points; stockpiling stone bricks gives more flexibility than buying specific chests ahead of time:
  • Spectral Chest- 1305, Summoned Chest- 820, Chest of Beasts- 300, Solid Gold Chest- 80, Phobos Chest- 40
• Higher level free chests all yield well:
  • Treasure: L7- 1690, L6- 530, L5- 165, L4- 50
  • Grimm: L4- 792, L3- 240, L2- 72
  • Season: L4- 330, L3- 100, L2- 30
  • Bountiful (Level) Chests- 150
  • Kala’s Rucksacks- 250
• High level Life Trees can be harvested for quick points:
  • Life Orbs: L9- 1560, L8- 500, L7- 160, L6- 50
• These chains recharge fast and give unlimited taps; note that multiple mid-level items may earn more than one or two higher-level items.
  • Fruit Trees: L10 Watermelon- 34, L9 Pineapple- 30, L8 Dragon Fruit- 26, L7 Pear- 23,
  • Prism Flowers: L7- 42, L6- 36, L5- 29, L4- 23
  • Midas Trees: L11- 145, L10- 135, L9- 125, L8- 115, L7- 105, L6- 95, L5- 85, L4- 75, L3- 65, L2- 55
  • Bushes: L5- 35, L4- 25, L3- 15
  • Graves: L8- 75, L7- 65, L6- 55, L5- 45, L4- 35
  • Fountains: L6- 136, L5- 105, L4- 75, L3- 45

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the event is not showing up or glitches are affecting your play:

• Try hard closing and then relaunching your game.
• If your device is running hot, stop playing and allow it to cool down.
• Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game).
• Try rebooting your wifi router (if you have access).
• Try switching to a completely different internet source.
• If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages, close the game and try again after an hour or two; events are server-based, and sometimes activity on that end can cause temporary problems.
• If nothing here helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the official website for help figuring out what’s wrong.

General Technical Warnings:

• Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
• Den Chests: To reduce your risk of missing chests or uncounted points, avoid playing while game servers are processing the cycle change.
• Saving your Progress: Make sure you travel to the World Map screen before closing your game to save your progress; saving immediately after earning or making high-value items is also recommended.

Note: All initial event info is preliminary, based off what we’ve had in prior editions. Edits are ongoing

Species: Cat Age: 14 years Sex/Neuter status: female,neutered Breed: long haired cat, no specific breed but shows traits from norwegian forest cats, was adopted from a litter of barn cats Body weight: around 4 kilograms History: in the last ~3 years, she seemed to catch colds easily, Arthritis, she is an outdoor cat Clinical signs: doesn't eat much, weight loss, sleeps a lot Duration: she started to get skinnier around April, but her loss of appetite and sleeping habits seem to be somewhat recent (past month) General Location: Germany
(I am not a native speaker, but I am doing my best)
Hello there!I am posting with hopes to get some help with a senior cat. The cat is owned by my parents, and I only see her once a month, but for reasons, I am also the one who does all the vet visits with her. When I came back for a visit around April, I noticed that the formerly chubby cat lost some weight. It was not concerning yet, as her weight was always a bit too high. She used to weigh 6 kilograms, and then dropped to 4.8 kilograms. Vet confirmed that it was still a good weight for her. At this point, you could already feel her spine and shoulder blades a little when petting her.
I returned a few days ago for a longer stay this time, and the cat is now quite skinny, but I can't get an actual weight on her and I forgot to ask the vet to weigh her. She also used to be really into eating and wanted snacks often, but since then, she eats only little and then does her typical summer entertainment, which means she'll spend the day outside in the fields, looking at mice and returns to the house in the evening to sleep. She never was a good hunter, and I think she mostly does this to entertain herself so she most likely doesn't eat mice.
This cat always dropped a bit of weight around summer, because she is more active and less at home to snack. The warmer weather also seems to put a damper on her appetite. However, because of her old age, I took her to the vet anyway because she slept a lot more and is now quite skinny (sometimes you can feel her ribs when petting her).The cat got an ultrasound and a big (?) blood work done. The ultrasound showed a small cyst on a kidney and some sort of growth on the liver, which according to the vet, was not necessarily concerning yet. He recommended waiting for the results of the blood work. Everything else on the ultra sound indicated no issues or anything atypical for a cat her age, according to the vet.Now the blood work result came back and according to our vet, her results are mostly excellent for a cat her age. The only thing that is out of the norm according to him is that one blood test regarding the liver was a bit below the norm; and one kind of white blood cell was slightly higher but the overall values for white blood cells was normal. So, according to this, the cat is fine?
I am still concerned about her because it doesn't seem like a general issue with food. She likes treats (some kind of dried chicken with liver) and her cat milk, but her normal wet food is not eaten with much enjoyment. We also tried getting her some senior food, but this is not according to her tastes because she is quite spoiled. Yesterday she drank a lot from her little fountain outside, but it was a warm day. She also has bad breath, but not on a level that it would be smelly. Other than her mouth, she smells fine. Her fur is a bit shaggy when it used to be very silky. She does clean herself, but not as much as she used to. She got dewormed in January for the last time. As mentioned before, she enjoys summer and spends a lot of the time outside in the fields. Her overall behaviour hasn't changed that much either, she still likes human company and affection (except from me right now because the vet visit for the ultra sound and blood work was NOT fun).So I am wondering, is there anything else we could do or go to the vet for, like something that is not immediately on the radar for her symptoms? Is this fairly normal for an outdoor cat her age? I did read that this could also be an indicator of "decay with age", and that some cats die then. Also, what else can I try to get her to eat more? She likes treats but I feel like they don't provide her much nutritional value.

I do not have a picture but it looks like the lower leaves of some of my plants are decaying/melting. This tank has been established for 2 months, I started with the plants first and haven’t had problems until now. The stems and roots are still strong, what’s should I do? Are these plants done for or do I just need to remove the decaying leaves?

Update: Added Thralls Are Alive. You can now have thralls train and rest, patrol, gather basic materials, and endless RP possibilities as well. (Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC9uHq3sIUg)

FAQs: Q. Is the server dead? I only see one or two people online. A. My objective was not to make a popular server but to have one that I enjoy, and that entails professional design and function while maintaining the heart of the game.
Q. Will the server disappear like 99% of the other ones that pop up each month? A. No, the server has a proven track record now, and is perfectly designed in all three aspects of gameplay and will not be taken down because it's the only one of its kind.
Q. The server is too hard can you nerf A or add B? A. This server has been tested and tweaked for many months, and if anything changes it will be an Increase to difficulty.

Hello! I posted my first query here. Thank you for all the critiques for that, it's changed a lot because of that input! Hopefully for the better :)

The kingdom is dying, and it’s Thomas’ fault. His father, the king, made the people think fairies were the cause, but that was a lie. It was the machine he forced Thomas to build. As it siphoned magic out of the ground, fairies lost their powers and crops died only so the king could collect the magic for himself. To stop his kingdom from withering under his father’s scheme, Thomas stole the source of the machine’s power and fled. He couldn't restore the magic to the kingdom, but he at least stopped the spread of decay. Though Thomas is hidden from his father, the king had one of the remaining powerful fairies cast a spell on Thomas from afar. But Thomas would rather let the spell turn him to stone than return to his father’s work. What he hadn’t expected in his exile was the charming, bullheaded girl who captured his heart. If he lets the spell spread, Lucy might mourn him, but the kingdom would be safe from further harm. If he returns to have the spell removed, he will lose the woman he had grown to love and the kingdom he was born to protect.
Lucy is content in her life with her aunt and her best friend. The owner of the flower shop she works at is a bigot, life is too quiet for her skill in healing to be much use, but it is enough. Besides, Fairhaven, small and isolated, was so far spared from the blight that was spreading across the kingdom. She is grateful for that, like the rest of the town. No one outside their borders is aware of their success, and the people in town don't want to ruin their luck by drawing attention to themselves. When a stranger shows up for the first time since the blight began, Lucy befriends Thomas despite warnings from her suspicious neighbors. She doesn’t mind if Thomas keeps a few secrets, that is until she discovers he is turning to stone. Then she is determined to find out what Thomas is hiding and how they can lift the spell.
Weeks after Thomas’ arrival, strange things start to happen around Lucy. The town, led by her employer, turns on Lucy in fear of the magic she hadn't known she possessed and the blight it may bring upon them. Thomas thinks he can stop them, but he would have to reveal his identity and shatter Lucy’s trust. Lucy must come to terms with the magic in her blood or face the town that will destroy her.
Because of your interest in Young Adult fantasy, I thought you might enjoy my manuscript. Stone and Flame is told in alternating points of view between Thomas and Lucy and is complete at 90,000 words. [Any other required info]
