The warbling gate is a golden ring with a green magic wall, looking like a slow swirling tornado

## Upon exiting the GREEN gate, 
you feel the gentlest of breezes grazing your faces, you hear the lightest rustling of leaves in nearby trees, and as far as the eye can see is almost all lush green grasses, only sparsely populated by the occasional tree. The sky is as blue as the ocean, only decorated by a few small clouds, and for the first time since you entered the island, you are greeted by almost pure silence. 
 
Welcome to the **Grasslands** domain!

(ATHLETICS ROLL)
The silence is abruptly interrupted by a sputtering noise coming from right beside your group, a horse head suddenly leaning down and very curiously sniffing (lowest roller) over. You also notice the horse is inside a large wooden corral. Which is connected to a stable with a dozen different shape and size horses, all behind a sign on the front that reads "Villi's Fillies, Rentals 10z."
 
*IF ANYONE COMMENTS ON IT*
A female voice from behind you speaks out. "Knock it off Rosa, they don't have food for you!" 
 
The gate is attached to a fairly large boulder, and lying atop said Boulder stretched out is a white kitsune, her arms under her head as she stares into the sky, one leg crossed over the other. "Dont worry about the horses, long as you don't mess with them, they won't mess with you too much." 

*ASKS ABOUT HER* 
She doesn't really move, but her head turns a little toward you. "Name's Villi. You new here? Most people know this to be the place for some peace and quiet."
 
*ASKING ABOUT DM/REGALIA*
She sits upright and perks her ears, listening for a moment before pointing out a rather large oak tree in the distance. "You want Corentin, he's that way. Either practicing or sleeping on some warm rock." At best, you're looking at an hour of foot travel.

*IF ANYONE COMPLAINS*
She will roll her eyes a bit. "Follow me." She jumps down to the other side of the rock, stepping out from behind it and walking into the ranch's main entrance. 

*IF THEY FOLLOW*
She will lead you into a walkway outside of the main pen, a few of the horses within approaching your group curiously. "Walking would take a while, but if you were to ride THESE, you'd get there in a few minutes."

*IF YES*
She will guide (1/2 the number of players rounded up) horses toward the entrance, and straps a double seated saddle on each. "Pick your pairs, I don't have enough single saddles for all of you right now." While you decide, she will also put on a simple set of reigns, holding them for your group.

(ONLY OFFER HORSES TO THOSE WITH DRIVE AND/OR WHO MAKE THE ROLL)

*REGARDLESS OF WHICH OPTION*
As you travel through the lush grasses, you see mostly open greenery all being pushed around by a light breeze, and you hear leaves rustling in the nearby trees. Other than that, it's a quiet calm journey to the largest tree you can see.

(NOTICE ROLL) You detect a peculiar scent in the air, something delicate and sweet. And it gets stronger as you approach the tree.

You arrive at your destination, the giant oak tree Villi pointed out. And it is ALOT bigger than you thought it would be, looking about 30 feet wide at its base and easily 50 feet tall.

To the left is a fairly large wooden corral with a dozen horses inside, not too different from your own.

To the right is a fenced in garden with rows upon rows of bushes covered in flowers, which is where the scent appears to be coming from.

The grass between the tree, corral, and garden is kept incredibly clean to the ground, but the grass outside and around it is tall enough to act like a natural fence line.

*IF CORRAL*
All the horses inside are casually eating grass or drinking from a nearby trough of water, all of them wearing saddles, most of which are single seaters. The corral doorway has a large sign on it saying "hold your horses" and a latched gate that CAN be opened from the outside.

*IF GARDEN*
There are a dozen rows of bush that stretch out several yards back, all contained within a handcrafted wooden fence. The lattice archway at the entrance is about eight feet high and ten feet wide, with a wooden sign on the left stating "Camellia Sinensis" and an identical sign on the right side stating "free to take." Each row of bushes are the same from beginning to end, some having flowers and some having tiny brown or green berries.

(INVESTIGATE ROLL) The bushes that DO have flowers are either a brilliant white or with some small amounts of pink, seven or eight petals each, with yellow stamen in each of them.

(CONTACTS ROLL) Camellia Sinensis is the scientific name for the Tea Plant. You are looking at an acre-sized tea garden.

*IF OAK TREE*
You couldn't see it from so far away, but there is a large treehouse hidden inside its higher branches. It is masterfully crafted, shaped right in and around the branches themselves, blending in seamlessly. There is also a rope ladder AND a climbing rope leading up to it.
 
*IF THEY CALL UP*
You get no response except for some chirping of birds around you.

*IF THEY CLIMB IN*
The treehouse is proportioned professionally well, has three main rooms, and is full of breezy open windows.

- The central room has a wood and wicker double couch & single chair set with a coffee table in between them all, and a fireplace centered  behind them.

- There is a kitchen space on the left with wooden table & chairs, cabinets, shelves, a sink, and a fridge.
> The cabinets are full of glass dishware
> The shelves hold several airtight jars full of dried plant leaves
> The sink looks normal, but the fridge is an old fashioned ice box and doesn't use electricity

- To the right of the living room is a door that is slightly cracked open, and you can see what looks like an awkward sized and shaped mattress, looking like it might be a giant fabric sack full of hay or straw?

(NOTICE ROLL) From a nearby window, you can see a few long wooden tables sticking up from a clearing in the shorter grass, and you can see dozens of people walking about like some kind of event is taking place "in the back yard of the treehouse".
(The massive tree made it impossible to see before)

*BEHIND THE TREE*
Half a dozen people are practicing Archery on wooden targets in the far back clearing, each one taking turns with mixed success

Another ten or so are off to the left, performing various yoga poses

About eight are sitting at one of the long tables in the middle, fiddling with sticks, leaves, and flowers
- Upon closer inspection, the people are either stripping down flowers and leaves or cleaning long pieces of wood for arrow shafts

You even spot a few people flying kites on the right, some small diamond shaped and some looking like miniature hot air balloons

And another group is closest to the tree, simply lying in the tall-ish grass staring at the cloudy sky, much like Villi was atop the rock 
 
(Any group you approach and ask tells you to go talk to the archers)

The archers are much more open to speaking, and point out a person at the far end of the range in a loose fitting white Yukata with blue windy designed trim around the sleeve ends. The right sleeve is completely slid off, revealing the black shirt with red trim underneath, only barely obscured by the quiver of arrows on his back. 

*IF THEY APPROACH*
The man in the distance appears to just be standing in the grass, bow fully drawn and aimed at nothing in particular. Though obscured, you can see his skin is of a scaled green hue, his hair is dark and messy, and his legs are nowhere to be seen, instead replaced by a massive serpent's body coiled neatly beneath him.  
 
*IF THEY SPEAK*
His eyes slowly open and reveal the serpent slits within, before turning and launching the arrow in a seemingly random direction, staying in the air for several seconds before finally coming down and disappearing in the taller grass. And the moment it disappears, you hear a young voice in the far distance shout "OW! SON OF A BITCH!" 
 
A far off head suddenly stands up, rubbing her forehead and holding the arrow in her hand, which you now see is tipped with a green rubber ball. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" 
 
*IF ANYONE ASKS ABOUT HER SAYING 'WE'*
*OR IF NOONE NOTICES, (NOTICE ROLL)*
Several more heads pop up form the grass, and the leader smacks her upside the back of the head. They will suddenly charge your group and the archer, revealing themselves to be Marauders, but right when they get close, the rubber ball on the arrowhead will suddenly POP, causing them all to scream that their ears are now either hurting immensely, or they can't hear.
*If you fight them, their first round of combat will have DISADV in all aspects.* 
 
AFTER THE FIGHT 
 
The archer slowly slithers closer to the defeated Marauders, bow on his back. "You have disturbed the peace of my Domain. I would like to know why." 
 
The one out of the group that can actually hear him will reply, "That's what we do! It's literally our job!" The archer will close his eyes and shake his head in disappointment, before pulling down the other sleeve of his yukata and  unfurling a large pair of reptilian scaled wings, an array of deep emerald green glittering off the back of them. 
 
"Please take your occupational hazards elsewhere." He then flaps his wings once, twice, three times, each one blasting a larger and larger gust of air until it begins to circle their group on the ground, picking each one up into a windy cyclone, all of them suddenly ascending into the sky in a dizzying spiral and headed straight for the gate. 
 
*IF THEY ASK*
All but one are unanimously flung through the gate by the air current, the last one flopping on the ground in front of it. And when he raises his head, his eyes are greeted by the sight of Villi, cracking her knuckles. 
 
*BACK AT YOUR GROUP*
The archer collapses his wings with a soft sigh, resleeving his yukata over his left arm only as before, then finally turns to you. "I appreciate your assistance in removing the troublemakers. I am Corentin. I do not have much to offer in compensation, but would you like to join me for tea?" 
 
*BACK AT THE TREEHOUSE*
He hangs his bow and arrows by the door on wooden hooks, slithering to his kitchen, coming out with three kettles, all of which are placed in the fireplace. He lights a match to start a fire in the stone fireplace, the smoke rolling out the top and out a fairly well hidden chimney. "While the kettles warm, why don't we discuss what brings you here today?" 

As you chat, he will grab a jar of honey and (number of players +1) cups out of his cupboard, placing them on a nearby table, each with a saucer and a spoon.

*WHEN DM/REGALIA IS MENTIONED*
"My Regalia is no longer in my possession. It was stolen from me some months ago." 

(EMPATHY ROLL) He oddly doesn't seem to care that much about it, treating it no differently than losing a sock he would never use.

*IF THEY ASK WHY HE DOESNT SEEM TO CARE*
"Well it wouldn't do for a domain master of the most Serene paradise in all of Diadem to stress over such things, would it? I'm sure you've noticed, but the Domains are not just thematic paradises. They are also direct reflections of their Masters themselves, ideal environments for each one that others may enjoy. The living embodiment of serenity showing stress would be... counterintuitive. Curious question, which domains have you visited thus far?"

*HE WILL POUR TEA FOR EVERYONE AS THEY TALK*
The first kettle will pour white tea for anyone wanting something sweet and fruity.
The second kettle will pour green tea for anyone wanting something flowery and earthy.
The third kettle will pour black tea for anyone wanting something malty and spiced. 

Aodaghan desired a location with a fiery attitude no different than his own, with an endless task he could labor over forever.

Conroy sought out a knowledge base to potentially sate his endless curiosity for new information.

Zahir wished for a place of whimsy and smiles, somewhere he could celebrate endlessly.

Dorrin needed a vast and unending depth he could work out his frustrations without breaking his vow of stoicism.

Arledge wanted a bountiful paradise, where the land would always yield an endless supply of goods for everyone to live off.

Miranda yearned for the most massive space to look upon all the ahem... potential friends she could one day meet.

Whitaker wished for a place he could easily hide himself away in, somewhere people would not frequent without good reason.

Fulmo wanted a land that reflected his powerful and steadfast view of the law and its refined absolutism.

Thanatos just desired a proper ceremonial grounds and final resting place for those whom have passed.

Cassius desired the most dangerous and solitary place imaginable, somewhere as empty outside as he is inside.

Tlaloc wanted an endless challenge, some kind of playground for himself and the most strong willed participants to take part in together.

"As for mine, I simply wanted a peaceful home, somewhere where violence and aggravation could be left behind for a single moment, and one could embrace the true sensation of stillness. Not just in the gentle sound of the winds, but also in sight of the rustling leaves from the vine, the smell of the inviting flowers, the taste of the cleanest & purest air, and the feel of the softest grass pressing against one's skin. This place is a delight to all five senses, and embodies the purest aspect of peace."

He looks down at his cup of tea, noticing a small twig of a tea leaf floating upright. "Speaking of... I don't fancy myself a therapist, but I can see some of you are very stressed for a multitude of reasons, and I doubt it has much to do with the Marauders either. Perhaps while you are here, we could discuss what ails you?" 

HE WILL ATTEMPT TO LISTEN AND REASON THROUGH THEIR ISSUES, PROVIDED THEY WISH TO SHARE ABOUT THEM

After the conversation, he will stretch his arms high over his head. "Today has been a rather exciting day... I believe it is my turn to relax... If you happen to come across my bow, please do return it to me, and we can discuss a potential challenge then. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy my domain anytime you like."
