>"Don't get had," says Kisume, as you depart.
>You make your way up the rest of the tunnel, flying over fissures and talking the proper way at the branch. Soon you come a chamber full of webs, stalactites, and stalagmites; with a few chutes in the ceiling. Many of the webs are set to catch bats passing by, but a few bear advertisements for various place in the Ancient City, and a couple block off parts of the ceiling. Up ahead, to the south, you can see a faint light from a lone tunnel that inclines upward. In the webbing above it is a message that reads, "Shop at Kourindou!" Obvious exits are North, South, and Up.

>You head up the sharply inclined tunnel, and make your way outside!
>You emerge from a cavern at the base of a rocky face near the foot of a mountain. The air up here is so different, lighter and cleaning. It takes a moment to get used to it. You can see the Forest of Magic to the south, and notice there's a fair amount of danmaku from numerous sources over it. The Human Village, and the Myouren Temple, should be to the northwest. Southward, as you understand, is Scarlet Devil Mansion, but you've never been there.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #595 on:** May 25, 2011, 02:29:31 AM »

Forest danmaku from "various sources" probably means a fairy fight.

But I suppose I could be wrong.

>It is definitely an unusual amount, given your experience, and seems to be coming from quite a few sources.
>It is difficult to tell who is firing what unless you either see them doing it, or recognize the pattern. While you don't recognize any of them, you do see at least a few of the people fighting are faeries.
