The view
[…] rubied surface draws blood […] The Queen, below, ignores your ascent […] by impeccable logic, you do not exist […]
[Varies] […] resembles a tiny, perfect model […]Description summary:
The variable text depends on Ravages of Parabolan Warfare
Ravages | Description |
---|---|
0 - 3 | You can see closer things, too: the jungle canopy, the edges of your Base-Camp. Far off, the Smoking Shore. |
4 - 7 | Parabola has not been too damaged recently: there are no armies moving on the horizon, no burnt swathes in the foliage. Your Base-Camp is safe, and not very distant. |
8 - 11 | Here and there, the traces of battle are still visible – dead trees in the jungle, meadows that have ceased to bloom. At least your Base-Camp is safe. |
12 - 19 | The terrain still shows the destruction of recent battles. Whole areas of the forest are laid low, and the hulks of siege-machines have been left to rot. Your Base-Camp bristles with guards. |
20+ | Destruction from the recent war is visible everywhere. Smoke hangs in the air; ash blows across your cheek. Carrion birds circle over a field of the vanquished. |

Redirects to: Perched on Top of the Dome
Failure
Far, but not far enough
You climb a few dozen feet above the floor of the jungle, fingers scrabbling at the rock. Sometimes shards of jade come away under your touch. Sometimes they simply aren't there. Put your foot on the wrong support, and you slide back to the ground.
