WHISPERWOOD DISCOVERED

The Whisperwood in its current state isn't much different than how it is described on the Setting page. A creepy ancient wood gnarled with roots and seeped in fog. Steve and Quentin can expect it to be eerily quiet. At times, it feels like they're being watched or followed. Normal feral woodland wildlife can be encountered as well as servitors wandering the fog.

HERBS DISCOVERED

Quentin is able to identify 3 potential plants similar to what can be found on Earth, however, none of them will turn out to be the plant in question or provide any pleasant side effects when ingested.

"Cocoa Leaf"
A tree that bears fruit and leaf shape similar to the cocoa plant. The berries are bitter enough to cause a stomach ache, but harmless. The leaves when chewed, will cause foaming of the mouth.

Consuming this plant will result in mild poisoning.
"Fly agaric"
What looks like to be the prime specimen of a fun mushroom to consume is yet another tummy ache in waiting. While these mushrooms look exactly like the iconic fungi of Earthkind, these mushrooms glow at night.

Consuming this plant will result in severe poisoning and a horrendous nightmare.
"Hemp Leaf"
A tall sprouting weed that looks similar to hemp with big purple clusters of seed pods looks most similar to cannabis. However, smoking or ingesting it provides no mood altering benefits.

In fact, if consulted, the exile that works the kitchen will inform that's the weed Yorick uses for his "world famous" spinach soup.


LOCATION DISCOVERED [!]

Upon their wandering, they come across a cabin with smoke billowing out of its chimney. It smells like fresh bread and roast meat, inviting them inside if they dare take a peek. This little cottage resembles any hunter's lodge on earth; its owner has only just stepped away. Food is on the stove, fresh bread on the table. Linger here too long and the hunter returns, hostile at the intrusion of unwelcome visitors. Should Steve and Quentin be seen or attempt to interact, the hunter will attack and drive them off into the woods.

An item can be stolen from this location if one of them chooses to root around before the owner returns. Let me know if an attempt is made, and the item description will be provided.

ENTITY CLUES...??

There is nothing to be found that would definitively link the Crucible to the Entity or its sub-realms. However, Steve stumbles upon something of your choosing that reminds him of the realm he left. He may not be able to prove it has anything to do with DBD land...but he can pepe silvia about it.

[!] RANDOM EVENT

On the journey back to the Lonely Fortress, Steve and Quentin catch a glimpse of lights coming from the sunken village as the sky grows darker. At a distance, in the fog, it almost looks as though the village is thriving. As they get closer and the sky thickens with darkness, the illusion fades...leaving only dark ruins.
