## Introduction

> **Ingame Description:**
>
> You walk for quite some time, roaming the hard-packed and pink-tinged earth of the demon-realm. Rust-red rocks speckle the Wasteland, as barren and lifeless as anywhere else you've been. A cool breeze suddenly brushes against your face, as if gracing you with its presence. You turn towards it and are confronted by the lush foliage of a very old looking forest. You smile as the plants look fairly familiar and non-threatening. Unbidden, you remember your decision to test the properties of this place, and think of your campsite as you walk forward. Reality seems to shift and blur, making you dizzy, but after a few minutes you're back, and sure you'll be able to return to the forest with similar speed.

Bordering the wasteland is a vast and ancient forest. Usually one of the first areas of Mareth that the Champion comes across, the forest provides a good introduction to the concepts of combat, recruitable NPCs, and the dangers of transformative items. In Xianxia, the forest is divided into two distinct areas: the Forest Outskirts - Forest(O) and the Inner Forest - Forest(I). Both of these are unlocked simultaneously by exploring the wasteland.

Michiko comments on area:

```
*“The woods are both one of the purest areas of Mareth and one of the most corrupt. Depending on your luck you could either run across a bee girl or a Tentacle beast. The bees, despite using hypnosis and such to lull victims into accepting their eggs, are actually pure of soul and intentions. I’ve heard several rumors about the area such as that a monk in exile wanders the place trying to cleanse the corruption or that a weird hybrid between a plant and cow wanders about. There’s even rumors that somewhere in the woods is a hidden pure grove guarded by a unicorn, for all I know the race is almost extinct. Should you seek the unicorn out I would advise you come to it as a virgin, they are more trustful of virgins, never knew why.”*

## Non-Combat Encounters

The suffix for each encounter denotes its area of discovery, either being the Forest(O), Forest(I), or both (O/I).

### Corrupted Glade (O/I)

The Champion comes across a glade of highly corrupted vegetation. They are given the option of:

* Playing with the flowers, vines, or trees, all of which resemble some form of genitalia. (Confirm effects of doing this).
* Resolving to destroy the corrupted glade. The amount of fatigue required and options available to do this depend on the Champions body features and any followers or lovers that are able to assist with this. If the Champion owns the toolbox, which can be purchased from the Tel'Adre carpenter, they can use their axe to harvest 10 wood from the glade.

If the Champion has tasked one of their lovers or followers to destroy the corrupted glades, their forest-wide progress in eliminating them can be tracked by visiting **Stats** - the Corrupted Glades Status can be found under the Miscellaneous Stats section.

### The Corrupted Glade and the Satyr (O/I)

The Champion comes across a corrupted glade, however this time there is a Satyr fucking the living daylights out of a piece of corrupted vegetation. If the Champion's lust is high enough, they have the option of taking advantage of the situation.

### The Corrupted Glade and the Rustling Bushes (O/I)

The Champion happens across a corrupted glade, however *this* time there is a rustling in the bushes! Choosing to investigate this will result in being attacked by a Corrupted Dryad, which is actually quite a dangerous enemy for a Champion that is just starting out. After successfully defeating the dryad, any attempt to fuck her is met with a hit to your HP due to your poor penis being assaulted by a multitude of wood splinters.

### Thinking Time (O/I)

Nothing eventful occurs while exploring the forest, giving time for the Champion to think. This has a chance of increasing your intelligence.

### Trip on a Root (O/I)

While exploring the forest, the Champion trips on a root and face-plants, dealing 10HP.

### Fuzzy Chitin (O/I)

The Champion notices a shard of chitin in amongst a patch of ferns. A piece of bee chitin is added to your inventory.

### Giant Bee (O/I)

Purchasing the Travelers Guide from Giacomo will warn you in advance that a giant bee is nearby. As the Champion explores the forest, you come across an alluring bee-morph that attempts to draw you in. The decision you make in this initial encounter can have long-reaching consequences. Choosing to fight her can result in the victorious player retrieving a shard of chitin; *however*, if the Champion chooses to talk to her and agrees to host her eggs, then after encountering her for a second time agrees again, all future encounters will allow you to simply take pure honey from her. This makes obtaining pure honey a substantially easier task.

### Tamani (O/I)

The Champion comes across Tamani, a Goblin that is intent on being impregnated by you. Be aware that agreeing to this too many times will result in the forest becoming overrun by insatiable Goblin offspring that you will be forced to fight or fuck (Once there are at least 24 of Tamani's Daughters).

### Lost Treasure (O)

The Champion comes across one of the following items on the ground:

* Small healing pill

### Lost Treasure (I)

The Champion comes across one of the following items on the ground:

* Pig Truffle

### Deepwoods (I)

Exploring the inner forest will eventually lead to the discovery of the deepwoods, a much darker and more ancient section of the forest where more dangerous foes lurk.

### Tentacle Beast's Lair (I)

If the Champion has purchased the Dangerous Plants guide from Giacomo, they will be forewarned as they approach a tentacle beast.

### Ivory Succubus (I)

The Champion is propositioned by a Succubus. Accepting her offer results in (?). Choosing to fight simply enters combat with her.

### Sanctuary Guardian (I)

While exploring the inner forest, the Champion comes across a large clearing that emanates an aura of purity. There, they encounter a beautiful unicorn centauress that is guarding an artifact. If the Champion still has their virginity, they will be given an offer: be impaled by her enormous horse cock and carry her child (Celess) to term; or, if the player has a penis, they can choose to attempt to inseminate her instead (**this option seems to prevent the Champion from gaining Celess as a follower)**. A third option of outright refusing her offer ends any possibility of bringing Celess into the world. If the Champion is not a virgin when they encounter the sanctuary guardian, they will begin Celess's Quest. Additionally, if the Champion agrees to be impregnated by the centauress or refuses her offer, this is a one-time encounter.

### Wood Elves (I)

Ambushed by wood elves, the Champion is given two options by them: Fight or talk to them.

* Fight: The Champion is forced to defend themselves against a horde of wood elves. If you lose, you follow the same path as if you submitted to them. Defeating them staves them off for now, but they will continue to ambush you as you explore this part of the forest.
* Talk: After attempting to talk with your assailants, they will ask the Champion to submit to them. Agreeing to submit results in the Champion being forcefully transformed into a wood elf and taken back to the Elven Grove.

If at this point the Champion chooses to leave, no further encounters with wood elves will occur in this playthrough and the Elven Grove becomes impossible to revisit. After learning about the wood elves and their corruption by Lethice, the Champion has the choice of going through with their ceremony or keeping their name.

* **Ceremony**: The Champion loses their soul, becomes immortal, **and their transformation into a wood elf is now permanent**.
* **Keep name**: You politely explain your duties as the Champion of Ignam and return to your camp. The Elven Grove is now accessible in Places.

### The Hive (I)

Every time the Champion defeats a tentacle monster there is a chance that this will lead to them discovering the Bee Hive dunegon.

### Lumberjack

After acquiring the toolbox from the Tel'Adre carpenter, the Champion has the chance of coming across a stand of trees that will provide good timber for building. If the Champion is wielding a large axe, this can also be used to chop them down. Kiha can also be asked to help out if she is staying at your camp. The amount of wood recovered is governed by your strength.
