<![CDATA[You stand at the entrance to the Primary Waste Disposal. While the builders of the School of Magery obviously built this to be a massive and nearly impregnable structure, it has not proved to be impervious to the ravages of time.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="1">
|
|
<![CDATA[The massive basalt front of the structure has been cracked and eaten away by the foul ooze seeping out of it. Even as you watch, bits of the wall crumble away and dissolve, making the holes even wider and allowing more poison out. ]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="2">
|
|
<![CDATA[This must be the true cause of the "curse" that afflicts the valley. More information is sure to be available inside.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="6">
|
|
<![CDATA[From here, at last, you can see the true causes of the curse on the Vale. They're right in front of you. You see boxes and barrels, dozens of them, many of them leaking.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="7">
|

<![CDATA[On the floor around the containers are all manner of alchemical and magical tools. You see beakers and flasks, vials and tubes, each of them covered with the residue of magical experiments.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="8">
|
|
<![CDATA[This structure contains the debris and poisonous detritus of a thousand failed experiments, badly mixed potions, and spells gone wrong. Nothing is more dangerous than the result of a miscast spell, and all of those leavings were just put into barrels.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="9">
|
|
<![CDATA[And left here. Left without proper protection, without anything that would effectively keep the refuse from poisoning the water of the Vale. Cold fury grows inside you. How could anyone be so careless?]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="10">
|
|
<![CDATA[And how are you to take care of it? There's so much residue, so much waste here, you can't imagine how you will be able to get rid of it all. The cause is here. The solution is still far distant.]]>

</string>

<string id="13">
|
|
<![CDATA[This room must be where the barrels started to leak. It looks like there was a cave-in here. The barrels broke and the goo spilled out, eating away at the other containers from the outside.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="14">
|
|
<![CDATA[Now the stuff is working its ways to the other chambers, breaking open more containers as it goes. Soon every bit of waste here will be turned loose, unless you do something.]]>

</string>
|
|
<string id="29">
|

<![CDATA[There's nothing you can do here now. There may be somewhere you can go to activate this control panel, but you aren't optimistic.]]>

</string>

<string id="35">
|

<![CDATA[Then you notice that one of the displays isn't dark after all. It's flickering very dimly. You bend down to read it. It says "Activate Purification Process. Danger - Safety Off" Next to the light is a tiny switch. ]]>
|
|
</string>
|

<string id="36">

<![CDATA[Probably a wise move. This isn't a suicide mission.]]>

<string id="42">

</string>

<string id="50">
|
|
<![CDATA[You insert the crystal. There is a flash of light and heat, and it disintegrates. You aren't allowed time to ponder what this means. At last, the powerful machinery of the School of Magery has been unleashed, as it should have been long before.]]>
|
|
</string>
|
|
<string id="51">
|

<![CDATA[Quickfire is the most thorough, devastating, rapacious magical effect known. It can and will devour anything and everything it can reach. You hear the roar of its unending flame roaring through the Storage areas, devouring the waste.]]>

<string id="52">

<![CDATA[For whatever reason, the waste destruction mechanisms weren't used when the School was closed. At last, they have been activated. ]]>

<string id="53">
|

<![CDATA[Unfortunately, the doors and gates that would keep the quickfire from reaching you are no longer working. You watch rusted shutters pathetically attempt to close over the windows surrounding you. They aren't working. The fire will soon reach you.]]>
