Lost in Strange Lands
Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Description summary:
The text here varies with Airs of Parabola, which is changed by almost every option below.
Airs | Description |
---|---|
1 – 19 | You are walking through lush grass. Here and there is a little mound of cooked barley. |
20 – 39 | The ground continues flat and dry in every direction. A great deal of water must have passed through here at some point, but the mud has baked solid again. |
40 – 59 | You're ascending a steep hill. Your legs protest as you walk, but whenever you consider changing direction, the land rises just as steeply in that direction. |
60 – 79 | The bushes here are only as tall as the tops of your feet. |
80 – 89 | There are plants, and vines, and midges everywhere. You can't see where you're going at all. |
90 – 94 | The ground takes an imprint as easily as snow. |
95 – 100 | You are trudging forward, shivering, trying to get to a warmer bit of Parabola. |
