You're sure you could have slept forever, were it not for the birds picking at your eyebrows. The black feathered menace flies off as you rise. It's bright out, and the sun has just peeked over the horizon, bringing morning warmth.
What happened? You look around, seeing that you're stranded on some strange boat made of metal and steel. Look over the edge you see a flat landscape, a depressing grey one one side, and a muddy silt flat on the other. You can see a colossal cliff in the distance, but the sun is shining against your face, making it hard to tell exactly what on said cliff.

You're naked but injured, and you take a second to visually check your (blank) for injuries. what's your species?
Bioluminescent blue tissue: Shadneel, good night vision and hearing, light and agile, but are weak and have less durable bones. Unique-Can empower there own magic. Mutation-Magic resistance. +2 magic.
Red fleshy muscle: Prime-Biotic, Variable biology, usually weak skin and muscles, but are strong and heal quickly. Blood is mildly acidic. Unique-Can temporarily multiply the power of all mutations. Mutation-Shapeshifting. +2 mutation.
Tan Leathery hide: Corrupted, slow moving and weak senses, but have skin as tough as leather and organs can partially function while damaged. Possess symbiotic bacteria that assist the immune system. Unique-resistant to the negatives of Curses and immortality effects. Mutation-Regeneration. +2 curse/immortality.
Dark chitin plates: Kin, tough chitin shell and antenna that grant an amazing sense of smell, but need to eat a lot and are nearsighted. Can communicate through pheromones signals. Unique-Your physical abilities, strength, speed, durability, healing, stamina, immune system, etc are more powerful. Mutation-Enhance. +1 mutation, +1 curse/ immortality.
Shiny tin armor: First-of-Steel, skin is as tough as aluminium and incredible pain tolerance, but are slow and have vulnerable internals. Can communicate through body language. Unique-Shift power between magic and mutations. Mutation-Strength. +1 magic, +1 mutation.
Smoke covered body: Wanderer, naturally quiet and fast in short bursts, but have low stamina and find bright lights distracting. Release a pleasant smelling smoke that's different for each Wanderer. Unique-Create temporary tools that can empower mutations, magic, or curses/immortality. Mutation-Super Senses. +1 magic, +1 curse/immortality
Black white porcelain: Shapely, ceramic shell which is durable but cracks easily, but the rest is variable depending on the caste. Males are weaker but faster than females. Unique-Shapely have no particular racial ability, but are better generalists. Mutation-Speed. +1 magic, +1 mutation, +1 curse/immortality,
Normal colored skin: Human, tough skin and bones, but slow speed and difficulty learning magic. Humans can easily mimic a variety of sounds. Unique-Humans adapt to environmental changes and damage. Exposure to sunlight will cause your skin to darken and resist radiation, exposure to cold makes you build up insulating stores of fat etc. On the extreme end, each time your bones break, your skin is punctured, or your muscles are torn, it heals to be more durable than before. This also develops a resistance to magic, elemental, and mental effects. Mutation-Endurance. +1 magic, +1 mutation, +1 curse/immortality, +1 any.

are special traits. choosing the depths gives you 2 choices. You will have later choices between magic, mutations, and curse/immortality.

Prime biotic
Your muscles are out on display but with a thought a gray covering molds over yourself, creating a dress made out of skin. With this you feel good enough for a short walk, and pull yourself out of the boat.
At least you think about it, before realizing that the boat is resting about a hundred feet above the ground. It seems to be suspended by 6 spider-like legs, each of which has a metallic spike on the end. One of the legs is dangling in the wind, but the others seemed locked in space, like tiny floating islands.
you search your floating ship. It's about the size of a sailboat, with a single cabin. It's got a bed, and plenty of storage underneath. You feel your muscles flex as you work through several components and compartments. You wonder how you should look. What gender do you assume? Can you describe your body? what shape your body should shift into for now? This can be changed freely at any time.

You get 1 mutation from your species, already in bold. to get a higher mutation you must have a mutation 1 tier below it. you can take the top and bottom 8 mutation without any prerequisites. Higher tier mutations get extra powers from lower tier mutations.

Shapeshifting: You can mentally select a different body type and you will slowly change to fit it. Changing something like hair color means all hair that grows from the point of selection will be that color. Changing something like height would take about a week per inch. You can’t change your species, or develop anything not present in your species, but other than that the sky's the limit. You can shapeshift into other people if you can memorize there features. The greater your ability to regenerate or heal the faster you can change. Prime-Biotic unique: You shapeshift 8X as fast.

There's still plenty of sunlight to burn. Your body is already in an undefined state, but a few quick shifts gives better form. You give up some internal structure to lighten yourself and tighten up important muscles, giving you a very lean, almost anorexic look. Thankfully your well defined muscles pad you out, giving a layer of protection.
+Agility! You're better at controlling your body and reacting quickly. This helps with things like dodging, acrobatics, and contortion.
+fragile organs:( Your internal organs are pretty frail. They won't shatter on impact, but any wound that gets past bone is going to shut down some important stuff.
+Mutation: Regeneration! Your body constantly renews itself, forming new flesh to replace damaged and missing parts. You regenerate 2000X times faster. You can heal a light wound in 5 minutes, and a deep wound in 30 minutes. This is especially powerful for larger injuries like missing limbs. A missing limb will grow back in 2 weeks. Prime-Biotic unique: You regenerate 2X as fast.
+Mutation: Flesh Shaping! You can shift your body's mass around and create new organic structures. Fix damaged organs and limbs by shifting biomass away from other systems, double your body's density to store mass for flesh shaping, and regenerate at 10000X, enough to heal a light wound in 1 minute, and a deep wound in 6 minutes. Like regeneration this is especially powerful for regenerating limbs, you can regrow a limb in 3 days. This regeneration uses your own biomass, so you only have so much to use. Finally You can form things like bone armor or razor claws from your mass, so long as it can be made with your body's materials. Shapeshift synergy: You can mimic any species, but not unique traits or mutations, and you can shift your entire body in a single day. Regeneration synergy: you can regain a limbs worth of biomass in 4 hours, and a full body's worth of mass in 24 hours, with other healing effects decreasing this time. Prime-Biotic unique: you regenerate 2X as fast, shapeshift 2X as fast, and regain a limb/bodies worth of biomass 2X as fast.

Multiplicative effects stack. For story purposes, exact numbers will be ignored, but general traits, such as fast shapeshifting will be used.

Level 1 Creation Circuity(Clone)
The tattoo sinks into your flesh, and you can feel an electrical tingle through hidden networks of body mind connections. Like an amoeba your body splits, leaving two where once there was one.
+Magic! Your magic has manifested as the ability to create clones of your own body. These clones have mutations and curses/immortality half as powerful as you, but are only half as smart. They also lack any magic. At your current level you can maintain 3 clones.
+Auxiliary circuit: True Clone! by summoning only a third as many clones you can make there mutations and curses/immortality just as powerful and they have your intelligence, making them fully independent. They are totally loyal, obey any and all orders you give.

Now that you think about it, this boat is really dusty, and looks at least a hundred years old. How did you survive so long? Some quick poking of your clones reveals an uncomfortable fact. What's so bad? Pick 1 curse/immortality. All have some way of extending your lifespan for the known future.

Turns out most of that dust was from some Chrysalis you can form, which breaks down into fine black powder. You clones seem to become near impossible to damage while coated in this rock, but they can't move, talk, or even think. How long were you in this state for? And more disturbingly, what was damaging enough to create so much powder?
+Curse of Slumber! You now need to hibernate for at least 60 days a year. This hibernation can be separated through the year, so you could hibernate an extra 4 hours each day, or hibernate a whole day away each week. While hibernating your body forms a stony structure like a statue or chrysalis, and you enter a state of cryptobiosis. This stone shell is extremely durable, and regenerates as fast as you do. While in hibernation your body is 10x as durable, has no physical needs, and heals 500X as fast. Finally, your physical condition cannot worsen while hibernation. For each hour spent hibernating and/or sleeping you can age you 2 hours younger or older.

You hit the ground... Hard. You snap both you legs in the process, and definitely burst a kidney. The breaks heal in a few minutes minute, but the shock lasts a lot longer. after catching your breathe, you Make a mental note "pain is still a thing". Well, your now on the ground, and have a better view of things. The eastern cliff has you in its shadow for now, and you can see some pocks in it. Nearby are some fallen crates, spilling out supplies covered in rotten food. To your north is plane of barren stone. To the south, a silt flat a few feet deep. Where do you go?

Its still uncomfortable being lost with no memories of where you are, what you are, or even who you are. Your instincts tell you to go into the open stone, but logically you should at least salvage something. For a second you ponder, before realizing the easy solution. Quickly making a true clone you walk into the rocky wastes, and have the new you grab anything important. You walk for an hour, cresting the horizon and leaving behind that "boat."

Clone POV: The Crates are full of mostly rotten wood and food, but there are a few books. And even some jars of preserves. The original would want these. You'd look more, but a splash of mud makes you hesitate. Turning around, you don't see anything. yet... those silt flats look closer than your remember. And a lot wetter.

Careful now. You drop of the book and jars, best not to risk them. Turning around, the silt suddenly a lot closer. Like, a foot away. You spin around, the sun whirling in your eyes, your head getting lighter, dizzy. The crates are so far now, when did you walk away from them. Somethings, wrong, what did you forget? Oh noo, its happening again... Keep calm! Grit your teeth, closer your eyes, breathe... like cold water to a fire, your focus cools you down and fill your head. When you open your eyes the cliffs shadow is gone.
Bink, the sun rises higher, you feel hotter.
Blink, your a foot deep in silt.
Blink, your not alone. Out in the sun, a heat mirage is approaching, getting closer by the second. Backing up you hit something hard, under the mud, and your afraid to look.
"i'm disposable, I'm disposable," This mantra repeats in your head, over and over, as you slowly turn and look down. Under your feet is a chrysalis, one of yours a clone buried in the sludge hibernating to better preserve itself. And by its neck is cloth wrapped around something. The mirage is burning hot, and getting closer. What now?

Whatever it is, your not going to outrun it. Steel you nerves and breathe deep this burning air. You are going to survive. You rip your legs out of the muck and charge straight into the haze. Your vision starts to burn, and the world twists within the mirage. Soon you skin melts, muscles burn, but constant healing keep you alive. Unfortunately, your heating up, if you don't do something soon, your delicate organs are going to cook. You don't think your brain or heart will survive that.
the sky has turned red, and your eyes are burnt beyond use. all that left is to push through.

Its not enough to just move, you need to run. And run you did, even as painful heat cooks you alive, filling your nose with the sickening stench of boiled steak. You would have broken down in pain if not for one crystal solid fact: "I'm disposable."
It feels like just a second, though you know it must have been at least a full minute of exertion. Slowly your vision returns, the heat burning slower than you can heal your body. Your muscles barely work, but should be cool enough to heal in just a moment. And in that moment you see fire. A blanketing inferno surrounds you, but it has no heat, just light.
You wake up and look over yourself. No serious damage, not even a significant loss of biomass. Though there are some gaps in your memory. Doesn't matter, time to brink back some loot.

Main body POV: Its been another hour, and the sun has reached the zenith, negating any hope of cooling from this boulders shadow. But just as you prepare to carry on in search of better shade someone yells out for you. "I HAVE RETURNED!" In one hands is cloth, wrapped around something. It reveals some books, jars of preserved fruit, and a journal that looks bound in solid stone.
"The silt flats started getting close to me, so I went to investigate. Then there was fire, but it wasn't, and I did something, then it was red, and I fell asleep. But I'm here now! And this stuff is super important, though I don't remember why."
It would seem your clone is both delirious and amnestic. At least it got something.
The clone goes on to describe a weirdly familiar stone statue, time skips, and something important it can't remember.

Considering you have no source of food, it seems reasonable to pack some calories. Thankfully your clone didn't lose any biomass in that "fire" so theirs plenty to share. All the jars split between you and your clone should keep you going for 2 days.
"Thank you original." The clone seems to be recovering with this injection of much needed electrolytes. How damage was caused by the heat? You wonder if its related to your memory loss.

>>4430175
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The clone notices your gaze. It's kinda useless right now, and who know how long it would take to get better? On the other hand, if you just replace it with a new clone it wont pass on any of its hard earned observations. What a conundrum.

Getting lost here would be bad. Getting stuck would be worse. Ending up back where you started just as the sun sets? That takes the cake.

Blink, the silt is at your feet, cold mud touches your fleshy feet. The sun is about to set. You struggle to keep your eyes open but its a lost cause. The clone is staring silent at the cliff. "Now I remember... Sunset was important. Its when they become real again."
Blink, the last rays of sun warms your thin skin, but somehow you feel so cold. Something like worms are coming out of the cliff divots. Your clone is gone, all the items now carried by your hands.

Well, since you seem to be clone short, might as well get some new ones. Three copies tear off from your body and spread out. You yell out orders, sending one to the cliff and silt, and another to guard your back.
You tear out from the muk and get ready to run. The sun sets below the horizon and all goes silent, even as you scream with exertion.
Something is holding your ankle, pulling you deeper.

When you exhale a burst of pinpoint accurate magic is released. The first freezes whatever is in the silt for a second, which might as well be an eternity for you to get away. More importantly, it also seems to negate the effects of the silt, turning the ground back into solid stone. For your second trick a shock of negation magic stuns everything around you. You don't look back as you run, tracing along the cliff while running north.
Cliff clone POV: Those things in the cliff take a solid form the second the lights gone. This obscures there form as they strike with sharp pedipalps.

It takes a few hours in the dark, and a few falls, but you make it half way up the cliff face to an outcropping. Feeling out the stone shape in the pitch black reveals a shallow cave.

The body is chilled, at least compared to the high temperatures of a Prime-Biotic. Its wrapped in a soft shawl, but otherwise wears no clothes. Putting a hand under its back reveals muscles without skin. This poor things back was flayed, and by the feel it was not a gentle processes. Most horrifying is a portion where the flesh has been ripped aside, revealing the spine. You do manage to find some useful items however.

It would normally be impossible, but in this perfect black you see specks of glowing blue on your now bloodied hand. Well, whatever this thing was, its dead now. Sleep is a little hard with the corpse next to you, but dreams come quickly.
That night you dream of the night sky, but its full of strange white dots, vaguely twinkling.
Since the cliff is east facing the sun doesn't directly hit you, but when you break your hibernating shell its light enough to see. The vast granite plain is empty horizon to horizon. Last night discovery is still there, though now you can see better. Its body is a deep blue and it has markings around its mouth. Faint memories tell you its Shadneel, explaining the glowing blood. It must have died recently if it was still luminescing.

Damn, that first clone made a great find! "Circuitry for Beginners" is a hard read, but it cleanly explains how magical circuitry functions both in the body, and in crafted devices. Some of the more advanced concepts go over your head, but you learn some good training exercises, and can use the book as a reference manual in the future.
+Skill: Basic Circuitry! You can now analyze and understand magical circuitry. This allows you to learn the properties of studied creatures and items, as well as use crafted devices. You now have the option to train your magic skill, raising its level by 1.
The other books aren't nearly as useful. There's an interesting cookbook, some blank papers, and a dietary guide for carnivorous species. That lasts ones kind of nice, since it has a food pyramid for your own species, the Prime-Biotic. However, the entire pyramid is just different types of meat. That not really a concern for a flesh shaper, since you can mimic the biology of other species.

>Read the new books
These books are pretty boring, but give a lot of good info. "Shadneel Scavenging" goes over how a species sustained by vegetables and Fungus, with a bit of magic, can supplement there diet in the wilderness. Its probably not nearly as helpful in this flooded world, but on an island you'll never have to worry about food.
+Skill: Shadneel Scavenging!
The second book "Treatise: Shapeshiting and Flesh Shaping" doesn't tell anything you don't already know, with the minor exception of how to study the internals of a creature to assist in your own shapeshifting.

Phew. Even skimming through those books took almost the whole day. The suns going to set soon, and you don't want to be caught unprepared again. How do you defend yourself?

Waking up to this place isn’t as bad as you thought. The sunbeams from behind the cliff illuminate a vast field of granite, It’s gentle rolls glow white in the sun. You and your clone stand at the entrance of the cave, enjoying the view.

You can take positive traits when paired with negatives. Your physical ability determines how many “free” traits you can get. Currently you can get 1 extra free trait. There’s a little leeway though, since I’m adapting this from another system.

You pack your bag and start climbing. Its not very hard, but its does take a while. As you ascend the slope levels out, and soon your hiking up a steep mountain face. High above you can see a forest, marking a sharp cutoff from the depths. This high up you can see that the cliff is actually a mountain with steep dropoffs on all sides. The top is mostly flat, with plenty of plant and animal life. To the west are more of the mountains, likely forming a range. What the plan?

If your going to be spending so much time here you might as well have a nice house. Scavenging a few nails from the old furniture is the first step, then you board up the holes. Decayed items are thrown out into the depths. All the blankets are eaten by moths, and there's no candles for light, but its a home. With the help of clones its a breeze to make a livable space.
The next week is spent catching up on sleep and training magic. You focus on the feelings of energy in your circuits, analyzing each path they take. Mostly its just freezing things midair, and testing the bounds of your clone sense.

+Magic Skill! Actually knowing how your own circuitry works fine tunes your magical output. You can now sense the location of your clones and tell what there general goal is. Your negation circuit can now freeze non solid objects, such as fire and water. Weirdly enough, time stopped gas and flame can be passed through normally. All cool downs are a quarter the time, letting you keep something continuously frozen so long as its within range.

You've been here a month. Its nice having an island to yourself, but theirs something more to life.
Whats your long term plan?
>Adventure: strike out on your own and find amazing things.
>Recover: Find out where all your memories went.

>Write in: The possibilities are endless, especially with a life as long as yours.

Your consciousness is of two parts. One wishes to find others and end your lonely isolation. Another pushes you to strike out into the world. For now you reconcile them as an urge to explore. Whether you find power or people is a roll of the dice, but perhaps you will be satisfied by either. Or both?
Where to start?
>The deep caves. These places remind you of that nightmare, and you already obtained a magical object of questionable power from that dream.
>The islands. Your eyes aren't keen enough to see what rests on them, but they look green from far away.
>The silt flats. That place may be some kind of cursed, but its power is a magnitude above anything you’ve seen yet.
>Write in. Maybe there's work to be done before setting out?

>The islands. Your eyes aren't keen enough to see what rests on them, but they look green from far away.
The initial search isn't pretty. To the north is a steep slope into the depths, to the south the silt flats dominate, though there seems to be a colossal mountain out there. The east has ever more granite, with no major features besides a few caves.
North west is most promising. There's a range of small hills a few of which stick above the depths, and have moss growing on them. After a week of journeying you find an archipelago of 6 islands. The largest of these islands has smoke coming from it, but no visible fires.
will you investigate?
>Investigate. Go in the day when you have the best visibility.
>Sneak. Wait till night, then climb up the island. Well after sunset, of course.
>Go around. Skip the big island and check out the smaller ones.

No point in waiting. You slide down the slope of a nearby hill, and a short walk later brings to the cliffs of the island. The air fills with a wet smell, but not of sea water like the caves. No this is the smell of greenery and life. You brush aside waxy jungle leaves as you follow an animal trail. In the distance there is more smoke, carrying an acrid smell, yet there is still no sign of fire. What's causing it?
*Rustle* A sound in the leaves draws your attention, but as you turn to look at it you feel something sharp in your back, barely drawing blood. Humanoids emerge from all sides, and you're surrounded in seconds.

They're covered in rough chitin and each has six limbs a piece. The chittering sounds they make have no meaning to you. They look strong and fast, and you are outnumbered 5 to 1. These bugs don't seem happy with you here. One in front of you wears a worn and torn red cape, maybe some kind of status symbol?
The spear in your back pushes hardred, drawing out a faint grunt from you. The insectoids are getting louder now, like cicadas screaming in your ears. Act quickly
>Attack. Even if you lose, your chance of actually dying is miniscule.
>Diplomacy. Those scratching sounds are familiar somehow, maybe you can talk them down?
>Run. There definitely faster than you, but will they follow you into the depths?
>Write in. Stay calm and think this through.

You spread your hands to show your unarmed, and try to speak softly. However, before you can do so the caped insect whips out a sword and thrusts it at your neck. You close your eyes and suck in a breath of moist air, knowing that they can't permanently injure you, just make it hurt. After a few heartbeats without pain your eyes open. The sword is next to your neck, but is not aimed at you. Instead it is thrust towards the spear bearer, who now slowly backs up, easing the pressure on your spine.
The caped one chitters loudly, seemingly chastising the spear bearer. You are motioned to turn around, which reveals the spear bearer bowing to you
After this engagement the insects lead to a massive anthill, which is surrounded by smaller holes, some of which are releasing that same smoke from earlier. The hive interior is well lit, the ceilings covered in floating balls of light. Eventually you are brought before a robed priest, garbed in the same red as the caped insect.
“Whoo are yuv?” It buzzes out. Much to your surprise the creature speaks your language, albeit poorly. It does make you think though. Who are you?[i/]

“My name is… Hermann. I am traveling in search of people, artifacts, and adventure.”
The insect buzzes quietly, confused by your statement.
“A stravnge goal. Few of ourz seekz such lifez.” It pauses. “But my mannerz are miszingz, I am Bzarzara, priestez of Anaphora, andz leader of this hive. Wez not had guestz for… ever.”
A new insect walks into the meeting chamber, setting down a wooden tray of assorted plants. The priest eats a few.
“Ourz god saze there iz ozzpitality for strangers, so ourz hive welcomes youz.”
“”I mustz azzk though… How did you come herez?

Ight, I gotta get to sleep. Hopefully I have less work tomorrow. Thanks for joining in this quest by the way, I appreciate it. :)

>Tell the truth. You woke up by one of the islands, and quickly learned to survive.
These creatures, no beings would be more appropriate, have been kind and gracious, not counting that rough start. You spend time discussing your own origins, and your new home. Bzarzara apologizes and says it was not right that your first sunset be alone. It is however impressed by your continued survival, and says that Anaphora must be watching over you. You politely deflect the topic, and talk about your powers, and the abilities of the Kin priests.
When it comes time to discuss there own kind she says that they are a species known as Kin. They are highly religious, and all Kin are born with knowledge of there god, its tenants, and its language. Bzarzara only knows your language from collections of old books.
The Kin are a race who abide by the laws of hospitality. So long as you tolerate there religious pestering, they will let you stay here. It seems that they have been cut off from the larger world for generations, and few know of anything beyond this island chain.
What are your plans with them
>Dominate. They are physically superior, and possess holy magic such as healing and blinding light, but the majority are loath to fight if they’re not outright pacifists.
>Quests. There's always work to be done, and for some reason the Kin are all unwilling to leave the islands like you are.
>Integrate. Slow and boring, but spending time with the Kin is a safe way to learn about this strange land.
>Write in. Of course, you're sure you can think of something better.

Why are the Kin so worried about the depths? It seems safe enough during the day.
“Zeh burning hazze hunts us. It emergrzes with the sunz riszing, can conszumes flesh and memorizes alike.”
Sounds familiar. You suppose that lacking your intense regeneration and being covered in hard shells, fire is exceptionally dangerous to them. But is there anything you can do? You spend half an hour conversing with the buzzing priest, learning of this threat. Most Kin can outrun the haze, but it's hard to see, and persistent in its chase. Sometimes, when the sun first rises the haze will even breach the depths, and flow onto the island itself. The only place free from its wrath are the silt flats, which hold dangers of there own. Perhaps you could find something in either place?
>Seek out the silt. The haze roams the edges, but can't penetrate into this muddy abyss.
>Delve into the caves. You remember hearing some kind of water down there. Maybe your own island has the secrets?
>Face the fire. Hands on research. You have magic, are a mutant, and have at least 1 artifact.

>Seek out the silt. The haze roams the edges, but can't penetrate into this muddy abyss.

>>4436668
>Seek out the silt. The haze roams the edges, but can't penetrate into this muddy abyss.

>>4436681
>>4436821
You promise that you’ll find some solution out in the silt. It's going to take around 12 hours to get to the silt flats, meaning that a trip there and back will leave you vulnerable at sunset unless you find shelter in the flats.
You pack a few days worth of food from the Kin, who send you on your way with a variety of buzzing words you fail to understand. Like before, the sound tickles your memories, but nothing concrete comes forward.
You leave at midnight, so you can cover the ground in safety.
>>4433768
You adopt some of the Shadneels traits, enlarging your eyes and developing a reflective film over your retina. It's still dark, but no longer pitch black. At least you won't be fighting blind.
Your moving fast to beat the sunrise.

Running across the barren basalt in the dark is a scary experience, but at least you make good time. By sunrise you are already at the silt flats, knee deep in muck. In the distance you think you can see multiple heat mirages distorting light around themselves, but which are real and which are the burning haze is impossible to tell at this distance.
For now the silt and ooze is a normal black, and has yet to do anything unexpected. The only thing of note is the occasional hill that rises above the muck, and the massive island to the west.
Where do you go?
>The edge. Try and observe the burning haze from a distance, staying in the safety of the silt.
>Stay here. Explore the silt flat, your previous experiences have shown it to be a strange place.
>Large island. Obviously the most important feature here. It stands at least 500 feet above every other island, yet has no greenery on it.

That island’s as good a goal as any.
The trek there is long, especially when you have to trudge through foot deep sludge for most of the journey. The sun draws out a horrible rotting stench from silt, like a mass die off of fish. You look around, but can’t see any source of this foulness. Yet your muscles clench involuntarily, setting of prey instincts. The silt has turned a pale white.
Move carefully.

You stay low to the ground and keep careful watch of the environment. As you stare out across the horizon, you start having double vision. As if seeing through two pairs of eyes simultaneously, you gasp at a dark sky filled with blue tints. This place is filled with water, so much you only catch glimmers of light above. The silt beneath is obscured by a passing shadow. In this other world you see a fish like being with colossal mandibles, swinging its head side to side in search of prey. In the real world there is only a vague rainbow glimmer in the sky, roughly correlating to the space of this creature.
As you creep away from the monster the vision fades, turning back to normal. Your waterlogged wood is practically dripping salty water.
You soon approach the island, having no more encounters. Its surface is pockmarked with caves like your own island. Its grey exterior stands out in stark contrast to the blue skies which make up its backdrop. The cliffs look too difficult to climb without special gear or powers. The yawning black caves seem to be your only choice.
>Caves up. Travel through the caves upward, to the heights of this monolith.
>Caves down. Like the caves on your own island, there is the smell of water, deep below.

After wandering the tunnels for just a minute you soon find the darkness is too oppressive, even for your sensitive eyes. Navigating like this will be very difficult, and you hear echoing across the rock walls. This place is dangerous.

With even this dull light you can navigate the maze like system of tunnels. Soon you are rising, passing from cramped caves to spacious caverns one by one. But your light serves as a beacon, drawing in entities from the dark. Different from the slithering of your own caves, this sound is one clicking nails. You see it in the glimpses of your vision darting in and out of side tunnels, tracing back around to you. It's far larger than you, and clearly used to this dark place.
