Category:Centaur Hollow

Rumors abound that, somewhere amidst the ancient oaks of southeastern Westwood, concealed safely within a rock-encircled hollow long familiar only to centaurs, a centaur ranger, Silvanus Wayfinder, has been covertly gathering and preparing a sylvan militia to eradicate Westwood's darklin infestation once and for all. Some folks even claim that these would-be combatants have begun to mysteriously vanish from this hollow without a trace, one by one.

Connections

This area was created for a 2005 lowmort area-building contest and presently connects to the Hall of Judging that extends upward temporarily from Stonehall's second floor. Whether or not Centaur Hollow will become a permanent addition to Avatar MUD remains to be seen.

Navigation

Centaur Hollow is almost entirely "cursed" and may be entered only by going southward through a camouflaged gate in a thicket (a "safe room" where Konk stands). This leads through a narrow gap between the rocks to the northeast corner of a large central hollow. This hollow also connects to a mossy amphitheater to its east, a bell-shaped grotto to its southeast, a ferny glen (that leads to a hidden cavity) to its southwest, a verdant cavern to its west, and an alcove containing a mineral spring to its northwest. Various centaurs, ents, lizardmen, and sprites stand in these spots or wander about them.

Tips

No mobs here are aggressive. Nearly all have positive alignment. Sprites will respond with "special" behavior (like spellcasting) during battle.

Quests

Centaur Hollow has three quests, which are as follows: (1) give Konk in a thicket a heap of baked potatoes from a cavern and receive Konk's Gigantic Clobberin' Stick to wield; (2) kill a vicious doppelganger in a glen impersonating a centaur priest that he ate, give this dead priest's centaurish family heirloom to his centaur paladin brother, and receive a darklin carapace ring to wear; (3) give a tangle of bloody remains from a cavity to centaur ranger Silvanus Wayfinder in a hollow and receive a granite key to a granite chest in a cavern that contains an Orb of Sunshine to use for light.
