Palladium Reef: Difference between revisions

The {{name}} is a dangerous area in south-east Qud — an abandoned arcology flooded by the waters of nearby [[Lake Hinnom]], overgrown by coral and inhabited by strange lifeforms. [[Svardym]] are common, as in the lake, but are joined by greater threats such as the swift {{favilink|galgal|galgallim}} and {{favilink|sultan croc|plural}} who can dismember the player, as well as {{favilink|enigma snail|plural}} who can inflict [[confusion]].  {{favilink|reef hermit|plural}} and {{favilink|svardym scrounge|plural}} may be peaceful depending on the player's [[reputation]] and trade high-tier artifacts.

On the surface, a tangle of {{favilink|palladium strut|plural}} obscure the vision but do not block weapons fire.  These are overgrown by {{favilink|coral polyp|plural}} which are automatically plucked away as the player walks by; this act has a small chance of revealing a {{favilink|swollen bulb}} of {{favilink|sunslag}}.  Polyps will regrow after some time.

{{favilink|deep shaft|coral chutes}} descend to the inner reef, which extends for five levels beneath the surface before yielding to ordinary subterranean caves.
