1 = "You gently slide the drawer open. You notice two things simultaneously. First, the drawer is empty. Second, the rune is beginning to glow red. Then it explodes.";
2 = "This is the inn's common room. It is filled with dirty beds. Those with little cash can flop here for the night. The unpleasant smell and the insects that run for cover when you enter indicate that these aren't the highest quality lodgings.";
3 = "Someone had ambitious plans for this room. Polished wood has been set into the floor in a beautiful, intricate pattern. That is, however, as far as the construction went. The slimes must have interrupted the work.";
4 = "You find a small bedroll and a cooking pot. It looks like someone is in the habit of sleeping here occasionally.";
5 = "Someone has found a nice secluded niche in the city walls and fashioned a concealed tunnel into it. The area has the stink of illegality about it.";
6 = "You have found a concealed tunnel through the Krizsan city walls. It's not surprising that it's here. What city would be complete without a way for smugglers to slip in and out?";
7 = "";
8 = " ";
9 = "The common room of the inn is filthy, bug-infested, and filled with a thick miasma of human stench. As if that wasn't enough, there is also the vague undertone of sour slime smell in the air, and the walls look partially dissolved in places.";
10 = "";
11 = "You smell sulfur. Small sparks fly up from the shimmering field of holy energy before you. As you back away, you hear a soft voice say, _Anama members only in this area. Please back away. Thank you for your cooperation._";
12 = "Your Anama rings glow briefly for a moment. Your skin tingles. The shimmering curtain of holy energy parts to let you by.";
13 = "The bookshelf is filled with musings and notebooks on esoteric elements of Anama religious theory. It would probably be very interesting to someone who isn't you.";
14 = "You pay the ten coins and hop on the ferry. Except for the crew finding and killing a few giant roaches, the trip is uneventful. Within a day, you have landed at the crude wooden docks of Marish.";
15 = "You don't have the ten coins. The sailors laugh at you. Cheeks burning, you go on your way.";
16 = "The Anama temple library contains, surprisingly enough, an incredible variety of religious tracts. There are pamphlets on all aspects of Anama theory, from the horrors caused by magical spells to ways to live comfortably without them.";
17 = "You have found a section of Shayder, that, for some reason, has been walled off and abandoned. The walls are crumbling and clearly substandard. These are probably the remains of an older part of town, abandoned and walled off for safety's sake.";
18 = "You put a few coins in the tithe box. Nothing happens, good or bad.";
19 = "You leave the tithing box behind. You fail to suffer divine punishment.";
20 = "You pick up the package. It's small and full of some sort of densely packed leaves. The package has an odd, musty smell. You bury it deep within your pack and move on.";
21 = "This was a horrible, horrible mistake. You're way out of your league here, especially considering that the altar is already sanctified. The energy deep within the stone lashes out and bakes you to a crispy golden brown. ";
22 = "You kneel and pray. The altar seems unimpressed. Its power is reserved for the Anama.";
23 = "You break into these cramped, ill-smelling living quarters. Among the dirty clothes and bits of trash, you find several unsavory characters. They react to your breaking into their home with understandable annoyance.";
24 = "These must be sailors' quarters. Only sailors are generally capable of making living quarters so cramped, grit-encrusted, and smelly. They are currently unoccupied. Ship traffic to this island has been reduced to nothing.";
25 = "The Empire requires the bureaucrats of Shayder to fill out many forms. Once they're filled in, they end up here. Eventually, someone will take them out and burn them. It's hard to imagine them being useful to anyone, let alone you.";
26 = "This building has mostly been cleaned out. There are only a few bits of litter left behind. There is an faint, foul smell. You think you hear a scraping noise coming from the room to the west.";
27 = "You kneel, pray, and bask in the warm energy of the altar. A tingling feeling flows up and down your veins. Your Anama rings glow briefly. You feel energized.";
28 = "You see some bits of odd, brown stuff on the grass, and bend down to investigate. There are roach droppings, and a bit of shedded shell. There's also a 2 foot long antennae. Not the sort of litter one enjoys finding in a town.";
29 = "";
30 = "";
31 = "You suddenly feel wracking pains across your stomach and chest. The agony is  sufficiently intense to double you over. After a few minutes the worst of the pain passes, but you still feel very ill.";
32 = "";
33 = "";
34 = "Piles of white powder have been placed on the ground in this alley. There are dead roaches near each pile of powder. The Isle of Bigail could probably use a lot more of this stuff.";
35 = "";
36 = "The Shayder Bazaar has been abandoned and cleaned out. The smell of rot and disease hangs exceptionally heavy in here. It's kind of creepy. ";
37 = "";
38 = "You dig up the box, brush the dust off, and open it. It contains several small leather pouches of shiny silver coins.";
39 = "You start to feel very ill. There's a lot of nausea, and bits of your hair start falling out.";
40 = "You find the body of a guard who had the misfortune of being caught outside the walls. Most of his body and everything he carried have been dissolved.";
41 = "This room is thick with the sour smell. It's the scent of the evil slimes which have invaded this area. It seems to be coming from the cell doors to the south. You notice that the edges of the doors have been sealed with wax.";
42 = "";
43 = "The city of Shayder managed to obtain several powerful, expensive catapults for its defense. Alas, they are no use for defending from bugs, or disease.";
