Test 3.
ACUITY Setting out back onto the snow-covered routes is likely not anything that most people here want; at the same time, it's going to have to be what happens if you want to find the lakefront anytime soon. The snowfall seems to have settled a bit - it's light today, coming down gently in flakes as opposed to heavily in torrents or flurries, and it seems that the snowdrifts have begun to settle and collapse on themselves. As such, one of the larger ones near the entrance to town - one that's easily overlooked, one that was likely missed on the way in for the sake of getting warm - has shifted just enough to reveal that there's a path behind it, leading off somewhere to the west, through the woods. Following that path will eventually reveal the lake. The lake itself is perfectly still, the surface frozen over with a thick sheet of ice; it's enough to skate on, probably, if you had the gear, but since you don't...well, it may be an interesting time getting across. Like back at Lake Valor, however, there's once again a large stone formation in the center, a massive opening in the rock face, and what's likely a system of caverns inside. Your exploration starts now, on the shores of Lake Acuity; hopefully it proves to be a fruitful one, despite the warnings that have been given to you. |
