Making a living - CYOA part 19 |

Part 19:
“Let's go west, we've got plenty of time to explore,” you reply.
“Ok, coordinates of the base camp tp are 130000, 86270. Shouldn't take too long to get there,” Elf informs you.
“Lead the way.”
You follow Elf along the make shift path and across the road into the mountains beyond. It's a hard slog up the other side and when you reach the top you see another peak up ahead. You have a feeling it's going to be a very long walk to the base camp.
When you get to the crest of the next hill you pause and take in the views while getting your breath back.
“Not worn out already?” Elf teases, seemingly unaffected by your climb.
“No, just admiring the view from up here,” you reply, not wanting to appear too tired. Elf grins and obviously doesn't believe you, but she says no more and carries on walking.
There isn't a path anymore and you have to make your own way through the sparse desert scrub lands using the map and position device on Elf's arm.
You do not walk much further before you come across some young pop dragons. As soon as you spot them you stop. They are far too difficult for you and Elf to try and run through them.
After a short discussion you both agree to try and go north around the group. Before too long you have dragons on all sides and are struggling to find a path through, but you soldier on using trees and bushes to stay out of sight as much as possible.
You eventually find yourself on the edge of a deep ravine full of dragons. If you are going to continue this way you have no choice but to try and run down into the ravine and up the other side, before you are spotted.
It takes several very nervous minutes to find a way across but you eventually manage to scramble up the other side. You pause at the top to check that Elf is ok and calm yourself a moment.
You notice that there are even more Pop dragons on the other side but fortunately they are off in the distance and you can walk north and slightly west along the ridge for a short while.
After a few more minutes you find yourself coming out of the north side of the patch of dragons. Had you been alone you probably wouldn't have made it through but Elf was pretty good at keeping track of all the mobs nearby and finding paths through.
Not long after you find yourself on the edge of another cliff. Elf pulls out her map and checks it against her positioning device.
“Our current coordinates are 134315, 86137 so we need to go almost due west. Fortunately the path through those dragons didn't take us too far off course.”
“I can't believe we managed to get through those dragons without getting munched.” you reply.
“Me too, I almost gave up in that ravine. I collected all my teleporters on Calypso alone though so I'm... [Read More]

Part 18:
Let's go and explore the nearby areas and see if we can find out where all the teleporters are located, you suggest to Elf.
Sounds like fun, she replies.
You both pick up your packs and head out of the apartment.
I need to go to the main service centre first. I've got to repair my knife and replenish my first aid pack. Just in case, Elf tells you on your way through the streets.
As you head to the teleporter you almost get run over by some people street racing around the city. You suddenly realise that there are no pedestrian crossings anywhere and mention it to Elf. She agrees with you that its odd but points out that the street racers would probably ignore traffic lights anyway.
While Elf is sorting out her equipment you wander around the main service area. Rocktropia seems to be warmer than Calypso and everyone is wearing much less than the formal attire the auctioneers and technicians wear on Calypso.
You notice that the service centre has an opening that leads out the back somewhere and decide to check it out. After signalling to Elf across the room that you are heading that way you go and see where it leads.
It backs into a very large rock face and there isn't much room between the building and the cliff. What attracts your attention the most, however, is the large cavern opening in it, with man made paving and lights leading back into the cliff.
You are still staring at the cave in front of you when Elf catches up with you. She immediately gasps at what you've discovered.
This way then? you ask her. Elf nods her response and quickly darts off into the tunnel. You take your time following her, enjoying the coolness of the air.
You both walk for quite some distance before the man made paving runs out and the route begins to climb to the left. You catch up with Elf finally and begin climbing the steep section together.
As you climb up a short distance you see a starry sky appear up ahead.
When you reach the exit of the cave you pause to get your breath back. You appear to be in a very sheltered dip in the middle of a hill or mountain.
Once both of you are refreshed enough to carry on you follow the natural path to the edge. You find yourself looking down at the road that skirts around City of Dreams.
Elf pulls out her map and stares at it for a moment.
There are teleporter's north, west and south from us. The south is the closest and easy to get to along the road. The north one is further away, looks reasonably easy to get to but is the only one in that direction. The one west... [Read More]
