10 = "The road is lined with piles of abandoned possessions, left by Avernite refugees during their mad flight from Cotra. There are torn clothes, bits of furniture, and personal effects.";
11 = "Scavengers have already given the stuff a thorough search, but you might still be able to find something of interest.";
12 = "";
13 = "Now that the looters are dead, you search their bodies and the debris. You find a few coins, but nothing of real worth. These miserable souls died to defend a pile of trash. It's just another sign of the desperation this war has driven people to.";
14 = "";
15 = "";
16 = "You pick through the abandoned possessions. As you do, you remember what you were told in Fort Dranlon and watch for a pair of worn leather boots. Indeed, you find something that matches the description you were given.";
17 = "You're not surprised that none of the looters took them. They look worthless. ";
18 = "The crystals hum and vibrate when you enter, filling you with waves of exhilarating energy. The powerful magic makes every cell in your body vibrate. Soon, you leave the cave before the feeling overwhelms you.";
19 = "Though you leave the healing energy behind you, some remains within you. You feel much stronger.";
20 = "";

22 = "You reach the center of this huge, breathtakingly beautiful cavern. The glowing fungus reveals huge, shimmering clusters of crystals, filling the air with rainbow light.";
23 = "What's more, the crystals vibrate. They're emitting a continuous, soothing hum which calms your nerves and alleviates your exhaustion.";
24 = "However, you have little leisure time to enjoy the cavern, for someone has gotten here first. A large contingent of Empire troops has set up camp inside the cavern, basking in its beneficial effects.";
25 = "Of course, it might be in your power to reclaim this wondrous place for Avernum.";
26 = "";
27 = "";
28 = "You return to the cavern you have reclaimed. The remarkable crystal formations are still there and still emitting their soothing hum. Do you bask in it for a while?";
29 = "";
30 = "Several brigades of Avernite soldiers have set up a defensive perimeter here, within sight of the ruins of Cotra. You can see the smoldering remains of the city to the west, a sobering reminder of the Empire's power.";
31 = "When you get close, the commander of these forces waves for you to approach.";
32 = "";
33 = "You walk up and introduce yourself to the commander. She looks worried, but her forces don't look like they've seen action recently.";
34 = "She says _Greetings, soldiers. What news have you of other happenings in our land?_ You fill her in as best you can and ask what her forces are doing here.";
35 = "_Well,_ she says, _we were arrogant. We didn't think the Empire could strike this far into our lands. We were wrong. They sent a group of magical creatures in by water and burned Cotra out. Took the city entirely by surprise._";
36 = "_We're here to keep watch. If they raid Silvar, and they might, they won't be able to do it without the mages here detecting them._ She points up at a pair of mages in the sentry towers, concentrating hard, magically searching for enemies.";
37 = "You speak for a bit more and she gives you some stew. Then, rested, you move on. It's reassuring to see that Avernum is learning from its mistakes.";
38 = "";
39 = "You get close to the ruins of Cotra. This was once one of Avernum's great cities. A thriving port, it was a key conduit of supplies between north Avernum and the Great Cave.";
40 = "Now it has been sacked by the Empire. Their raiders rushed in, burned the city, and fled, leaving a grievous wound in Avernum's side. Now, more than ever, you see how high the stakes are in this devastating war.";
41 = "";
42 = "You run into a small remnant of the raiders who destroyed Cotra. They have arrogantly remained behind, looking for extra carnage. They immediately attack.";
43 = "";
44 = "You search the Empire camp for anything of particular value. The dervish was wearing a beautiful pair of drakeskin greaves. You eagerly liberate them.";
45 = "As you explore, the vibrations from the crystals fill you with waves of exhilarating energy. The powerful magic makes every cell in your body vibrate. You need to leave the cave before the feeling overwhelms you. Some of the power lingers.";
46 = "Perhaps, when the energy fades, you can return and bask in it again.";
