A Large Ravine
   This huge ravine looks more like a crater. To wander down it would surely
take some time and would tax the most strongest of travelers. The tropical
forest doesn't seem to care of its existence however. Trees and the animals
that reside within them are numerous indeed. Something peculiar sticks out of
the ordinary however, something similar to that of other forests, game trails.
Only this can't be a game trail, for no game live within tropical forests,
which leads to one conclusion. Someone else, a humanoid being perhaps, lives
in this forest. A tough task ahead to discern which being it may be lays ahead.
A large cabin is visible just before the ravine, it looks like a some sort of
human construction from the make of it. It could be a mission.

The Edge of a River
   The river flower smoothly. It is clear that most of the animals in here use
this river as daily refreshment. The trees sprout up all along the river and
their branches hang out over it, with vines dangling loosely over dripping
moisture to the river below. It would be a difficult task to traverse the river
if the need ever did arise, for it must be at least twenty feet deep. Fish
of all sorts must be in the river, which serves as another source of food for
the hawks and other omnivores of the wildlife.

On a Flowing River
   The river is flowing steadily to the northeast. A few fish leap out of the
water and reenter the river in with a loud splash. The water is fresh, which is
convenient for those who would wish to bathe. The huge tropical trees on the
edge of the river sprout up about thirty or forty feet into the air, they must
be a couple of hundred years old. The vines that dangle down from them hide
any possible traversable escape from from the river's current, which runs east.

A Cleared Pathway
   The trees have been cut to their base to give way to space. It is obvious
that the trees must have inhibited some sort of work that was in progress, so
they were cut to provide adequate room. A large worn pathway through the
thick vegetation runs northward and southwards. Weeds and vines stick out and
hang around to further inhibit the path of travel, as slight as it maybe.
Whatever kind of work or exhibition that is going must not have been pressed to
further clear the selected path route, for a great many vegetation still makes
the pathway difficult to travel.

slaves and force them to work doing what humanoids do best, farm. And farm they
do, in order to survive. Let's face it, if humanoids were good for anything it
would have to be farming. If they were any good at war they wouldn't be caught
in the predicament they now face, farm or die. Many columns and rows of corn
have been planted and now are in full growth. They rise well above five feet.

A Cleared Pathway
   The trees have been cut to their base to give way to space. It is obvious
that the trees must have inhibited some sort of work that was in progress, so
they were cut to provide adequate room. A large worn pathway through the
thick vegetation runs northward and southwards. Weeds and vines stick out and
hang around to further inhibit the path of travel, as slight as it maybe.
Whatever kind of work or exhibition that is going must not have been pressed to
further clear the selected path route, for a great many vegetation still makes
the pathway difficult to travel.

The Edge of a River
   The river flower smoothly. It is clear that most of the animals in here use
this river as daily refreshment. The trees sprout up all along the river and
their branches hang out over it, with vines dangling loosely over dripping
moisture to the river below. It would be a difficult task to traverse the river
if the need ever did arise, for it must be at least twenty feet deep. Fish
of all sorts must be in the river, which serves as another source of food for
the hawks and other omnivores of the wildlife.

   The river is flowing steadily to the northeast. A few fish leap out of the
water and reenter the river in with a loud splash. The water is fresh, which is
convenient for those who would wish to bathe. The huge tropical trees on the
edge of the river sprout up about thirty or forty feet into the air, they must
be a couple of hundred years old. The vines that dangle down from them hide
any possible traversable escape from from the river's current, which runs east.

A Large Ravine
   This huge ravine looks more like a crater. To wander down it would surely
take some time and would tax the most strongest of travelers. The tropical
forest doesn't seem to care of its existence however. Trees and the animals
that reside within them are numerous indeed. Something peculiar sticks out of
the ordinary however, something similar to that of other forests, game trails.
Only this can't be a game trail, for no game live within tropical forests,
which leads to one conclusion. Someone else, a humanoid being perhaps, lives
in this forest. A tough task ahead to discern which being it may be lays ahead.
A large cabin is visible just before the ravine, it looks like a some sort of
human construction from the make of it. It could be a mission.

Cabin of the Human Missionary
   Human missionaries believe that all beings have an innate responsibility to
themselves to love they neighbors and themselves. This mission was obviously
established to convert the thri-kreen into fun loving bugs, fun loving bugs
that would no longer prey upon weaker races for food, weaker races such as
the human's themselves, or perhaps any other of their surface dwelling kin.
If anyone would ever wonder what effect this mission had upon the thri-kreen,
all they have to do is take one brief look at the remains of the missionaries.
All of them are either gutted, strewn upon spikes, or butchered into little
pieces. All of them however, have been eaten by the thri-kreen to a greater
or lesser extent.

A Reception Room
   It looks as though the humans were kind enough to build a reception foyer
to welcome the thri-kreen converts. From the looks of things the only thing
this reception room was used for was for the mass butchering that took place
once it was built. Thri-kreens don't take kindly to intruders into their land,
and they especially don't have the patience to practice any religion. Heads
with flesh long rotten away are visible under overturned chairs and tables.
Tapestries torn down expose the naked wall beneath. Every which way limbs from
the naive humans are visible. The thri-kreen attack must have been so quick,
sudden, and so unexpected that some of the humans were still in their morning
robes not yet dressed.

The Missionary Lounge
The priests came here to let out some of the stress of working with
such beasts as the thri-kreen. The task of converting any of them would be
a difficult task at best, as they well knew. They were allowed to do things
here that they may not do under any other circumstance. A small bar counter
runs across the south wall, with racks of aged wine lined up behind it. A
couple of gaming tables are set up in the room also, including a tableau
counter and a hoop raised over head, apparently for some athletic game. There
are several small couches about the large room, and it is not uncommon to find
several of the younger priests napping here in the afternoon.

Sleeping Chambers
   These sleeping chambers at one time must have been used by a number of
missionaries to sleep in, however, it is barely recognizable for what it once
was however. The only thing discernable within this chamber is the stench of
death, of rotten flesh. Overturned beds and shelves have been set aflame in
some sections of the room, with hacked up human bodies everywhere. It looks as
though the thri-kreen might have attacked during the night, when the humans
were most vulnerable. Idiocity is a human trait, one that both serves as their
protector and demiser. It shields them from the harsh realities of the world,
realities that would be difficult to cope with. However, it also creates in
their minds just how the world should be, which ultimately conflicts with how
things actually are and leads to ignorance, and eventually mortal danger.

Deep Within a Ravine
   The tropical tree's sprout up a good forty feet into the air. The animals
sirt restlessly within the thick of the forest's ground. Some of the more
versatile animals fly through the air and land roughly onto other trees. Many
insects buzz through the air and rummage through the ground. Tropical forests
are notorious for their ability to weed out the hardened traveler from those
who just want to play with nature for a few days. It is here that men are
separated from the boys. The ability to withstand a night within this forest
is highly overestimated, for once you've journeyed far and wide into a tropical
forest such as this, you'd be forced to stay the night. It is here that the
ants get you. You might wake up in the morning and find yourself one big
swollen whelp, or you might find that some bat took a scat on your person. Now
snakes are a real threat too, you could also wake up to find some boa wrapped
around you so tightly that you'd be unable to breath. You might wake up and
discover some anaconda has swallowed your friend during the middle of the
the night. Worst case scenario, you might not wake up at all.
