The Grip and Gripham Village walkthrough

+1With 1 vote
As seen by Elvarlyn. Posted under Lithmeria as a Misc log.

This is something of a trial attempt, as we're still very unsure about what it is exactly people want to see. The Grip was one of the first areas to be designed and lacks many of the fancier features that were added to the building engine since then.

The log primarily consists of me walking around The Grip, getting beat up by some bandits and then explaining how the Gripham Village PvP objective will work. Those who have been following Lithmeria for a while will recognize Gripham from when we fought over it in these logs:

We welcome all feedback and questions at our forums: http://forums.lithmeria.com/index.php and we especially invite you to come and tell us what you'd like to see in future zone walkthroughs. The next one should be up on Monday.

A slow, winding descent into a canyon. (#353) (871, 497) (Road)
The road has been painstakingly chipped away from the surrounding canyon. Though little grows here, tall trees can be seen growing over the edges of the road and to the north, blanketing the ground with a green canopy. The rims of the canyon spread out wider as the descent continues.
There is an exit to the northwest and the south.

A slow, winding descent into a canyon. (#355) (871, 495) (Road)
Over the edges of the road and to the north, tall trees can be seen growing, blanketing the ground with a green canopy. The rocky road pushes further on into the canyon, many of the rocks looking chipped away or moved to make room for larger objects to move through. Little plant life exists along the path. The rims of the canyon spread out wider as the descent continues.
There is an exit to the northwest and the southwest.

At the base of a rocky slope. (#359) (870, 493) (Road)
A rocky yet traversable slope leading gradually upward from here merges into the forested canyon floor. The canyon appears to narrow as it follows the path ahead, eventually disappearing into the surrounding terrain after it reaches the rim, and widens to encompass more forest deeper in.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A forest along a canyon road. (#526) (871, 494) (Forest)
The ominous trees loom overhead, their canopies reaching high into the sky and fighting for sunlight, leaving little for the ground dwellers. Little lives on the ground in the form of plant life, a scarce shrub here and there with thin grass holding the rest of the territory. Light manages to peek through in various spots, providing an eerie glow to the woods. The surrounding forest to the west and north seem to have a soft glow behind them. To the east, the canyon's rock formation seems to encase a section of the forest, leaving only a small opening.
A pile of coins glitters here.
There is an exit to the northwest, north and the east.

A quiet forest tucked in a corner. (#527) (872, 494) (Forest)
Canyon walls and other rocks encircle this hidden grove, the barriers only seeming to give way in the northwest. The forest is thin here, sunlight striking the ground in beams that highlight ample walkways. Vines cover the trees almost completely, blending the brown bark of the trees into a seamless green landscape.
There are 2 bulky masked thugs here. There are 4 masked bandits here.
There is an exit to the east, south, west and the in (secret).

A forest north of a rocky barrier. (#514) (872, 493) (Forest)
The tall, imposing trees have been thinned here by the cliffside's pieces crumbling and falling into the canyon below. A large gap in the cliff wall matches a barrier of stone that is taller than two men, coming to an end just out of sight to the west. The sun manages to shine deep, hitting the canyon floor, and a flourish of tall grass and shrubs paints the ground.
A tawny doe is here, grazing on shrubberies and grass.

Deep in the Grip. (#510) (873, 492) (Forest)
The ominous trees loom overhead, their canopies reaching high into the sky and fighting for sunlight, leaving little for the ground dwellers. Little lives on the ground in the form of plant life, a scarce shrub here and there with thin grass holding the rest of the territory. Light manages to peek through in various spots, providing an eerie glow to the woods.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A dense forest wrecked by rockslides. (#498) (875, 490) (Forest)
The thick, high forest has been massacred here for its unfortunate proximity to the cliff walls, a rockslide some years ago having dropped from the heights above to smash away the trees. The brown and grey rocks lay scattered about randomly, some no bigger than a chipping stone and others the size of boulders. Either by the rockslide or some other incident, along the wall of the canyon itself, a cavernous opening has manifested, heading down into the depths of the earth.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, south, southwest, west and a small hole leading through the canyon wall.

A dense forest next to a canyon wall. (#487) (875, 489) (Forest)
The forest on the edge is thick, yet appears to end abruptly close to the north and is clipped by the canyon wall to the east. Trees of medium height clutter the ground and cause a dark hue to pervade the forest even in the middle of the day. The various types of trees are surrounded by thick, unforgiving shrubbery, and vines that creep up them to steal a glimpse at the sun. The wild forest seems to only grow more intense further to the south.
A gray lynx with a stubby tail is here, searching the woods for prey.
There is an exit to the northwest, south, southwest and the west.

p wolf
Standing almost a hand taller than the average grey wolf, this monstrous animal bears scars along its muzzle and fur from vicious battles for pack dominance. Its ears stand up straight, spinning about at small noises. It has a wet black nose resting in front of dangerously sharp canine teeth, ready to tear the flesh from challenger or prey.

In the grip of woodlands nearing the eastern canyon cliffside. (#470) (873, 487) (Forest)
The trees grow taller and the canopies grow thicker as they move deeper into the center of the woodlands, the quiet shade encompassing more and more of the ground level. The thick brush and tall grass thins out, as only the sturdiest bushes, mosses, and short grass manage to live off the pittance of light the ruling trees allow them. Animal trails dart around in almost random patterns between the trees and random hills, disappearing out of sight in the shadows of the forest that are aided by the large cliff wall to the east, the morning light not striking til far after dawn.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

Deforested plains next to a canyon wall. (#437) (871, 483) (Plains)
The grass has grown high on this plain, yet the stumps from the massive clearing of the forest still litter the area and the shorter ones may stub a toe if care is not taken. Some of the grass has been crushed by falling rocks from the nearby cliff wall. To the north, a village that is likely the cause of the deforestation rests. To the south, the remaining forest stands defiantly. A road can also be seen to the west.
There are 2 large field mice here. A massive eagle is gliding just above the ground here.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A road south of a mining village. (#410) (868, 483) (Road)
A gate appears close by in the north, while the road continues further to the south. Marks and signs of travelers mar this road, from carts, caravans, and persons alike. Surrounding it is an expanse of what looks to have once been a forest, the stumps of many trees scattered about the growing grass.

A gated path into a village. (#411) (868, 482) (Urban)
The deforested plains are explained as the wooden walls of a small village. The gate is of a size to allow large objects and caravans to move through and can hold three beams to reinforce it in case of siege. Some of the cart trails pass through here, into the village and out to the less secure mines. A guardhouse sits to the side of the gate to maintain it and ensure intruders are spotted.

The town center of Gripham. (#412) (868, 481) (Urban)
All paths lead to the center of the village, a dark wooden structure set up with the cart trails going directly inside it. A sign above the front entrance of the building reads "Processing and Sales." Unlike most other buildings in the town, care has been taken to maintain the plant life around it, with grass and flowering shrubs providing a more pleasing aesthetic.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and the in (open door).

By the village's eastern mine. (#414) (870, 481) (Urban)
A hole has been gouged in the side of the canyon wall here, the width as much as five men and ample room ahead for the tallest man you could find. The tunnel has been strengthened with wooden support beams to minimize the chance of cave in. Cart trails appear to run into the mine, and run west deeper into the village. A small shack to the side of the tunnel houses pickaxes, lanterns, oil, and other tools necessary to work inside the earth.

Main lobby of a miner's dormitory. (#545) (Building)
The lobby is decorated with much upholstery and less raucous forms of entertainment than the tavern. Some painting and cheap carpeting adorns the room, lit by the small oil lanterns loved by the miners. Doorways lead out of the lobby to the east and west, and a set of stairs leads upwards to the second floor.
There is an exit to the east, west, up and the out.

Outside of a large dormitory. (#417) (868, 480) (Urban)
A large wooden structure hovers over the bank of the lake and makes it mark as the biggest building in the small village. Made of the same dark wood from the canyon as the rest of the buildings, the multi-story building shows a surprising skill in carpentry from the miners of Gripham. The sound of voices and the smell of food emanate from it at almost all hours.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and the in.

The town center of Gripham. (#412) (868, 481) (Urban)
All paths lead to the center of the village, a dark wooden structure set up with the cart trails going directly inside it. A sign above the front entrance of the building reads "Processing and Sales." Unlike most other buildings in the town, care has been taken to maintain the plant life around it, with grass and flowering shrubs providing a more pleasing aesthetic.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and the in (open door).
