Souped Up - Journey to the Top

After some hard decisions... you decide to go to the Sourdough Canyons, because even if you did get ingredients from Caramel Falls, would you know how to use them? Probably not. Thus, you pack your things, and begin sliding towards the West, where the Sourdough Canyons lie.

---

After travelling for some time, you arrive at the lip of the Canyons, and are astounded by the sight before you. Soft white powder travels in clouds across the treacherous landscape, whipping at the crusty, baked sand. There are no settlements for miles around, as these clouds cause some pretty bad pain to most people. Thankfully you don't really have a mouth... or eyes. Or much of anything like a face, really.

There is a fairly steep drop in front of you, but due to the intensive mining that occurred here in the late 70s, stairs down to the bottom have been made. How convenient! As you slip and slither down the stairs, you notice the large pillars stretching across the canyons, from one side to the other, are actually covered in small holes. As you watch them, a small insect pops out. Then another. And another. You begin moving more, in haste, as a torrent of insects stream along the pillar, moving from holes all across it to get to the other side. You see them picking the sugarfruits that grow on the canyon edges, and realize that these pillars are not natural formations. These insects formed them, and you worry about what might happen if you get too close to that horde.

Those sugarfruits are one of your prime targets, in fact. They contain an incredibly high amount of fructose, and have formed solid blocks of sugar with seeds inside rather than actual fruit! They make a powerful ingredient, if you can get to them. Sadly most of them are on one end of those pillars. You progress further down the stairs, and finally reach the lowest point. The dusty winds are strong here, making it a little harder to see, but not affecting you too much. The bottom floor of the Canyon isn't particularly interesting, as it's mostly just flakes of bread crust, but on the walls are many small pockets, containing a variety of interesting ingredients. There are also a few caverns around, which could lead to dangerous, yet profitable ventures!

Well, now that you're here, you grab your map out (Map added to Inventory), and look around.

You are represented by the 0.

To the East, there are many openings in the Canyon wall, pockets of resources that may require some climbing. There are two Caverns near you, one to the East and one to the West. Rich in resources and danger! To your South is a Snake-like creature, which is essentially a living giant gummy worm. It hisses in your direction, but you can tell that it's friendly. Maybe it's his hat. He has a big straw hat.

You could also move further North or South, but you arrived from the North so there doesn't seem to be much point.

(Ignore the periods and graves. They're just filler.)
