(A Jungle, in the Sixth Coil)
| A player-created Guide is available for this content: Patrolling The Sixth Coil (Guide) |
| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Description summary:
The title and description depend on the
Sixth Coil: Locales. There is also an additional paragraph whose presence and text depend on your
Coiling Ever Deeper.
| Title | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 19 | Dark Clearing | You are somewhere in the middle of a dense jungle; a small break in the vegetation. Ferns underfoot; a thicket of vines all around. |
| 20 - 29 | Termite Mound | A miniature castle of red earth, growing in the middle of a clearing. You don't see the termites, but there's a hum of activity coming from the hive. Put your hand on the compacted clay – it is warm, warm as a body. |
| 30 - 39 | Rose Thicket | Here, the jungle becomes a mass of rose bushes – some as tall as palm trees. Thorns and red blooms; the leaf litter underfoot is a crush of petals |
| 40 - 49 | Cycad Bend | Squat cycads dominate the vegetation here; a little Jurassic grove. The trail twists around a massive, bulbous tree fern. |
| 50 - 69 | Scale Tree Stand | The trees here are tall and thin Lepidodendron, their trunks covered in rhomboid scales like an alligator's back. Above, a canopy of needle-like leaves. |
| 70 - 79 | Orchid Grove | Every tree in this grove is covered in epiphytic orchids – a mass of colourful parasites, each delicate bloom different from the last. |
| 80 - 89 | Shedding-place | The discarded skins of large serpents drape over the canopy here, dry and translucent. Thousands of them, a grim garland. |
| 90 - 100 | Predator's Den | A little hollow in a rocky embankment, not deep enough to be a cave, but big enough to be shelter. Around it is a scatter of bones. Some broken or gnawed into unrecognisable splinters. Some still intact: buffalo, deer, man... |
| Second paragraph | |
|---|---|
| 5 - 9 | Leaves rustle all around you; are you being stalked? |
| 10 | In the undergrowth, something hisses. |
| 11 - 15 | Wind makes the vegetation shift and sway. Or do you see a shadow, stalking behind the leaves? |
