    [Terasian Coast - Jungle Clearing]
    The dense jungle thins out as you near the coast, the smell of salty air wafting in with the ocean breeze. A fresh lava flow drains out from a break in the steep cliffs to your east. The hardened lava curls around the edges of what was a small bay. Shoals of volcanic glass sparkle in the celestial light. Also here: Jaeden
    Obvious exits: south
    >climb flow
    You carefully climb down a curling lava flow, stepping cautiously onto the slippery shoals below.
    >
    [Terasian Coast, Glaes Shoal]
    The ocean roars as heavy waves crash onto the glaes shoals, spraying mist into the air. Volcanic glass crunches under your feet as you descend the precarious slope, gnarled roots and vines serving as generous footholds. Also here: Jaeden
    Obvious exits: down

    [Terasian Coast, Glaes Shoal]
    A cast-iron pipe crosses the trail here, the logo of the Borthuum mining company visible under a thick layer of rust and brine. The pipe's mouth is perched upon a rotting wooden frame that hangs over the edge of the shoals. A crude drainage mechanism, the pipe appears to have once carried slag and other waste to be dumped into the bay.
    Obvious exits: down
    Jaeden followed.
    >d
    [Terasian Coast, Glaes Shoal]
    The ground is rockier and more uneven here, as the roots of a massive mangrove tree have pierced the rock and disrupted the congruency of the lava pattern. The combination has formed a crude buffer against the waves, as black sand has built up on the ocean side of the shoal. The thick canopy of the mangrove obstructs a shaded passage which dips down away from the shoals toward the bayside.
    Obvious exists: none
    Jaeden followed.
    >go passage
    The mangrove branches are too thick to allow passage.
    >attack branch
    You swing your gnarled witchwood runestaff at the mangrove branches, jostling them but accomplishing little else.
    >kill branch
    You swing your gnarled witchwood runestaff at the mangrove branches, jostling them but accomplishing little else.
    A lush vine wraps itself around you runestaff, wrenching it from your grip!
    >'try your sword
    You say, "Try your sword."
    >
    Jaeden slices a lush vine with his serrated golvern claidhmore. A gnarled witchwood runestaff is knocked loose from the tangle of vines and branches, clamoring to Jaeden's feet.
    >get rune
    You pick up a gnarled witchwood runestaff.
    >
    Jaeden raises his claidhmore and cleaves at the tangle of vines and branches, hacking a crude passage fit enough for a dwarf of halfling to pass through.
    >
    Jaeden raises his claidhmore and cleaves at the tangle of vines and branches, widening the passage into the swamp below.
    >go pass
    [Terasian Coast, Shade of the Mangrove]
    As you duck your head under the low branches of the mangrove, a thick odor of rotting plant matter is quite apparent. Hundreds of roots snake out of the base of the massive mangrove and plunge into the thick sand at the edge of the swamp. The thick canopy shields you from the glaring sunlight, but the area is still plagued by a rancid humidity. You also see a dwarven miner's ghost.
    Obvious exits: northeast
    >
    A dwarven miner's ghost says something anxiously in dwarven.
    >
    Opening a fold in his muddy coat, a dwarven miner's ghost pulls out a brine-encrusted timepiece. He opens it and scrutinizes it attentively, his thick spectral brows bunching up from under his steel miner's helmet.
    >
    Suddenly, the miner's ghost snaps the timepiece shut, glancing up at you with a serious expression that burns with despair!
    >
    The miner's ghost grunts in exertion as he heaves a thick invar sledgehammer into the air, bringing it down solidly on a thick chunk of earth! The area is spattered with mud and debris!
    Jaeden ducks to the side, narrowly avoiding a small rock as it whizzes past his head!
    Jaeden stumbles to his knees as he ducks out of the way of a thick glob of mud!
    You are struck in the face by a glob of mud!

    Jaeden stands back up.

    A dwarven miner's ghost inspects the remains of a pulverized rock. He sifts through the rocks with a spectral hand, grunting in ghastly delight as he spies an uncut ruby. He snatches it from the ground and stows it quickly in his threadbare satchel.
    >
    A dwarven miner's ghost grunts the tune of a dwarven ballad merrily, his baritone voice echoing eerily across the swamp.

    A dwarven miner's ghost scoffs and grunts suspiciously, retrieving a thick invar sledgehammer and scrutinizing it intensely.

    [Terasian Coast, Shade of the Mangrove]
    The rotting mast of a massive ship lies here, the lip of the crows nest rising out of the silt to your east. The crumpled remains of a canvas sail have been stretched out over some of the mangrove branches here, creating a makeshift shelter. Obvious exits: southwest, east
    >go shelter
    [Terasian Coast, Swamp Haven]
    Obviously some crude form of residence, the canvas sail has been converted into a large tent. Flat pieces of volcanic glaes have been carefully laid to form a stone floor. A fire pit and small stone altar oven sit in the center of the room. The floor here is devoid of vines, and dry branches and other wooden debris sit in a pile in a corner of the tent. You also see an elderly dwarven storyteller.

    [Terasian Coast, Stagnant Swamp]
    The ship's mast penetrates into the swamp, slightly shaded by a sparse field of papyrus reeds. Several cypress stumps jut out of the mud, giving you the idea that the plant life here is sickly and starved of nutrients. A large circle of rotting oak beams lies ahead, giving the appearance of a massive ribcage rising out of the mire.
    You also see a swamp sparrow.

    A pool of brackish orange liquid runs under the ship's mast here, bubbling up with a rancid gas that singes your nostrils. The skeleton of a red tsark rests in the slime, its bleached white bones acting as the frame of a swamp sparrow's nest. Thick reeds of papyrus and swamp irises line the edges of the pool, creating a stunning array of color. You also see a noxious gas vent.

    [Terasian Coast, Stagnant Swamp]
    Rotting oak planks are strewn about here, and paths split off in various directions. A single, towering cypress tree shades the area, its wide trunk leaning towards the inland as if it were once slightly uprooted by a great storm. A collection of rusting invar chains are strewn about, some of them attached to sets of steel manacles. The chains are fastened together and one is wrapped around the width of the cypress and fastened with a steel padlock. The area is littered with hundreds of rusting strongboxes, coffers and chests of all shapes and sizes. You also see an imprisoned half-elf who is sleeping, an imprisoned elf who is sleeping, and an imprisoned elf who is kneeling.

    The cypress tree has been slashed with a blade, a generous amount of sap oozing from the bark. An invar chain is wrapped around the bottom of the trunk and secured tightly with a steel padlock. Knobby footholds and a twisted conagree vine allow passage up into the dense foliage of the tree, where you notice a well concealed platform.
    >examine padlock
    The old steel padlock is stamped on the bottom with the seal of the Borthuum mining company. It is encrusted with brine and appears to have been tampered with profusely. A snapped key obstructs the keyhole.

    Well-hewn planks of cypress are nailed to long cross-beams which have been camouflaged from the bottom, making this treehouse invisible from afar. A rounded bench lines the edges of this platform, the walls behind it covered in tiny hooks and shelves containing all sorts of roguish paraphernalia. A large metal ring is suspended by an invar chain, and it holds what must be the largest collection of keys in Elanthia.

    [Terasian Coast, Shipwreck]
    The beams of a massive Krolvin ship rise out of the mire forming what first appeared to be an ancient monolith. Despite the rot and mud, the beams curve elegantly and appear to once have constructed a magnificent vessel. Thin streams of bile colored water trickle in from the northeast. A pronounced insignia graces the side of one of the curved columns. Obvious exits: southwest, northeast

    The insignia is written in Krolvin and Common. In Common, it reads, “Krintaur’s Bane.”

    A field of papyrus reeds sway in the ocean breeze, shaded in part by a trio of smaller cypress trees that have taken root here. The rotting remains of an old Krolvin catapult are strewn about here, providing much needed footholds for navigating the muddy terrain. A large swamp sparrow nest is tucked in under some of the wooden planks. Puddles of yellow ooze give the landscape the appearance of being diseased. You also see a dwarven miner’s ghost and a noxious gas vent.

    The cypress trees appear healthier here and more abundant. The muddy path is flanked on both sides by brackish water, a few feather palms rising from the muck. You hear sporadic sounds of water splashing up ahead as a warm mist blows in and coats the trees, their long branches dripping and sagging. You also see an uncut ruby.

    I didn't read it all, but I'm guessing you took a real log and then modified it with new room descripts and the like. Looks nice. One thing jumped out at me as I scanned it though.

    Jaeden slices a lush vine with his serrated golvern claidhmore. A gnarled witchwood runestaff is knocked loose from the tangle of vines and branches, clamoring to his feet.
