"In the distance you see a path to a vaguely familiar crystal palace. Do you wish to explore it?"

**[No]** **[Yes]**

* *[No]:* Nothing happens!

* *Yes:* You manage to walk across a cloudy bridge to a floating crystal palace. To your surprise, the gate's are open, and the whole place seems rather inviting. As you wander through the gates, three things immediately catch your attention: The palace itself, a distant spire, and what seems to be a maze made of clouds. Which would you like to explore?
	+ **[The Spire] [The Maze] [The Palace]**
		- *The Spire:* You travel over to the spire, past the grand palace, and approach it's door. Once again, to your surprise, it's open, and you wander in. You're greeted by a grand room with towering stairs leading to the top of the spire, but otherwise the room, while immaculately tidy, is empty. It looks like climbing the tower would take quite some time, but there seems to be a small room in the back you could also explore. Where would you like to go?
			* **[The Stairs] [The Room]**
				+ *The Stairs:* You climb to the top of the spire, and at it's peak you find a cloudy bridge crossing over to another tower in the distance. It seems that the bridge rotates around the towers; if you wait, it seems you'll be able to access a treasure chest nearby that's clearly drawing your attention, but you'll miss out on whatever is inside the adjacent tower.
					- **[The Chest] [The Tower]**
						* *The Chest:* The bridge slowly rotates and locks into place, as you rush over to open the chest. Happily, there's stuff inside! **Loot: 1-2x Sky Coin**
						* *The Tower:* You quickly cross the cloud bridge and enter a door into the second tower. Much like the first, there's stairs descending to the ground. You descend the stairs, and like before, the tower mimics the first. Would you like to leave through the exit, or enter the small room?
							+ **[Small Room] [The Exit]**
								- *Small Room:* You enter the small room to find scattered notes lying about. You quickly shuffle through them, looking for something you can make sense of, and you find some interesting recipes! You gather them up, turn to leave, but instead find yourself at the gates to the palace, which are now closed. It's time to go home. **Loot: Random Recipe**
								- *The Exit:* You open the door, and peek out carefully. Suddenly, the floor vanishes beneath you and you begin to fall towards the vast ocean below. Just before you reach the water, you awake suddenly to find yourself at home.
				+ *The Room:* You enter the small room in the back, expecting to find a couple sky coins, maybe some FurCash.. but this time, it seems different. In the centre of the room is some sort of.. portal? Do you want to step inside?
					- **[No] [Enter]**
						* *No:* Wisdom encourages you not to step into some strange portal in a strange tower. As you turn to leave, a bell rings and you find yourself outside the palace gates.
						* *Enter:* You enter the portal, and suddenly you're transported.. well, somewhere well above the ocean, apparently. The force of gravity pulls you down towards the water. It takes a long time, but you eventually manage to find a way home. **Loot: Lose 15-20 Explore Turns**
		- *The Maze:* You enter the maze. The walls, despite being made of cloud, are unusually thick and impossible to pass through. Well, you can go left or right - which way will you go?
			* **[Left] [Right]**
				+ *Left:* You take the left path. It goes on for quite some time, but eventually you come to a dead end, with a small wooden table, on it, sits a small chest. It looks like there was something here, but someone has already taken it! You turn to make your way back, but a large bell rings in the distance and...
				+ *Right:* You head down the path to the right, it goes on for a short while before coming to a cross path, you can go straight, left, or right.
					- **[Straight] [Left] [Right]**
						* *Straight:* Well, you're already heading this way, so you might as well continue, right? You walk down the path, it begins to slowly descend below the clouds.. before you know it, you're well below the palace's surface. Just as you're about to give up and try another path, a distant bell tolls and you find yourself outside the palace gates, which are now closed.
						* *Left:* You take the left path, and it like before, it goes on for a brief time before coming to another intersection. Which way will you go?
							+ **[Left] [Right] [Straight]**
								- *Left:* You try the left path. Unfortunately, it quickly comes to a dead end, and an ancient bell tolls.
								- *Right:* You take the right path. It's narrower than the rest of the maze, but not uncomfortably so. You eventually reach a dead end, as you turn around, an ancient bell rings...
								- *Straight:* You take the path forward. A short journey onward, the path splits - which way will you go?
									* **[Left] [Straight]**
										+ *Left:* You try the left path. After a brief journey, you somehow find yourself outside the palace grounds. You try to re-enter the maze, but it looks like the wall has shifted to prevent entry.
										+ *Straight:* You wander down the path for awhile, before bumping into another villager. She speaks softly. "Oh, hey!" She turns to greet you. "Another explorer, I assume? Have you seen any feathers about? The blue or brown ones."
											- **[Yes (Lie)] [Nope!]**
												* *Yes (Lie):* ???
												* *Nope!:* You explain that you haven't seen any. "Oh. Ah well. Let's follow the path together, we can share whatever we find! It'll be nice to explore with a friend!" You and your new friend reach the end of the maze. To your surprise, there's a small chest. You open it up, and while there's nothing particularly valuable inside, you split up what's there. Afterwards, a bell tolls - and you find yourself outside the palace gates, alone. **Loot: 1-3 Twilight Sky Mushrooms**
						* *Right:* Right again, you think. You follow the path for a short duration before coming to a dead end. You decide to turn around, and try another path, but as you do, a distant bell tolls....
