Cave Event - The Cave

Flavor Text: The Cave NPCs

Base Camp - Ruben

^ Day 1 (July 17th)

Day 1 (July 17th): "Welcome, welcome! Thank you for coming. After hearing of the work CSians have done on their past vacations, we just had to invite you for the sheer number of assistants. There are so many samples to collect! Samples of what, you ask? Well, we are investigating this cavern because we received a tip about a "chamber of crystals" being spotted by some spelunkers in this cave system. Even if we don't find it though, there are still so many amazing things here! Personally, I have some ideas about investigating the past cave-ins that have been experienced. Please take the time to meet with my team and see what they are looking for specifically!

You may think it's surprising that no one has discovered this before, but did you know that we've only discovered about 1% of the caves on Earth? Anything could be out there; we just have to find it!"
Day 3 (July 19th): "I wish I could say good morning, but you heard that, right? It was almost like... a roar, but it was drowned out when the rocks fell. And, well... look. I don't know how to feel. There is something to be said about bringing the modern world into undisturbed areas... I don't know if we should clear out of here completely. Please don't say anything. This is a scientific marvel, but the ethical concerns are astounding. Just stay in the cavern and collect samples like you have been, okay?"
Day 4 (July 20th): "I'm not happy that Freddie went against my wishes, but I must admit that I was wrong. If the inhabitants have scientists of their own and they can create such marvels, we are certainly disturbing nothing. Please help them gather what they need!"
Day 6 (July 22nd): "I know I can't stop all of you, but I must caution you, anything from the past must be left in the past! We cannot bring it back! Any study will need to be done there, we'll set up a mobile research station or something. If you do bring something back... it could change the fate of the world forever! Haven't you ever heard of a time travel paradox?"
Day 7 (July 23d): "I'm not sure what era we are in anymore. This combination of animals should not exist at the same time. Is all of our study wrong? What could we really learn here? NO--please just finish your quest and we will leave. I am in charge here, and I will put a stop to this if I must."
Day 8 (July 24th): "Wollstone's device was able to help you communicate with the animals on the other side of the portal? That's... deeply concerning. I know I was wrong about ethics with the village, but this is going to change the course of history forever! Just do what you have to do and get out!"
Day 10 (July 26th): "I'm working closely with Imbrie, and we agree that this can never happen again. Taking the crystals out slowly and completely should power down the portal, and then we will break the stone arch, sealing us away from the past forever. You haven't brought anything back to our side, right?"

Day 1 (July 17th): "Join a research team by adding these stamps to your collection!"

Day 1 (July 17th): "Wow, this is an amazing site! Make sure you look around and discover all the different areas."

Day 1 (July 17th): "If you're going to help us out, you need a proper outfit. Please take these!"

Day 2 (July 18th): "Wow, you got dirty! Here's a second outfit so you can wash that one."

Day 3 (July 19th): "You're basically a professional now. Here's the full tool kit!"

Day 6 (July 22nd): "Most of you are already set to explore further, but if you haven't already gotten into gear, please grab these finally!"

This item set is only claimable if you had not already gotten it on Day 3

Day 9 (July 25th): "I know that you're sad that all your new friends can't come back through the portal with you, so here are some plushies for you to remember them by!"

Day 10 (July 26th): "Here's one last outfit for the many more adventures still to come! I wonder where you will all be off to next year?"

Day 10 (July 26th): "What do you think it would be like to be a dinosaur? I think it would be--RAWR!!"

Waterfall - Hadil

^ Day 1 (July 17th)

Day 1 (July 17th): "Land legs, all of you! I've heard that you've been on beach and underwater vacations; I hope you kept your gear in good working condition. I hesitate to say this is a vacation--it's certainly not for me--but if you have the right mindset, you'll certainly have some fun learning about science! Did you know that I teach marine biology? Anyway, take some vials and don't fall in.

Did you know most caves are prone to flooding? Caves are usually formed when rainwater dissolves limestone over thousands of years. However, I haven't quite found an explanation for this waterfall yet. More study is needed!"
Day 2 (July 18th): "The depth of this pool is, to this point, incalculable. Some of the deepest caves in the world are over 2200 meters. Could this one surpass it? Perhaps there is a path to the crystals deep in the water. You brought extra oxygen tanks, right?"
Day 4 (July 20th): "Don't forget about me now that you have your crystals! This is all in the interest of learning, and there is still so much knowledge that we can gather from my site here! Of course, if you find more water in the future, I'll want samples of that, too."
Day 6 (July 22nd): "Prehistoric water? Do you understand the knowledge that is contained in those live samples? Bring me as many as possible. Time travel paradoxes are irrelevant because we've already messed it up. Might as well learn as much as we can before the world implodes, and leave the knowledge for the next civilization!"
Day 9 (July 25th): "Those plants you were cutting grew overnight? The levels of oxygen and moisture in the air must be astonishing for such a rapid expansion. You brought some samples, right? It's not my area of study, and I know Wollstone may not be interested, but there are plenty of botanists I can share this with once our research here is done! Don't worry about Ruben, I'm sure it will be fine. There are plenty of things from the past that survived to the modern era. Take the Frilled Shark, for example. Basically unchanged for 150 million years!"
Day 10 (July 26th): "Just keep putting those crystals back in when they take them back out, okay? If you're on my team you know that we should keep the portal open. For science!"

Day 3 (July 19th): "Your friend brought an underwater camera today! What did they capture?"

Day 2 (July 18th): "As you approach the water to collect some samples your path is impeded by a bevy of amphibians. You're going to have to clear them out so you can get back to science!"

First available on Day 1 (July 17th)

"There are so many unique species living in this one cave! If you help me collect some samples I'll show you what I've found so far."

[ After trading in 4 samples ] "These were so small I almost didn't see them at first!"

First available on Day 4 (July 20th)

"I know you won't forget me if you have to bring some of these crystals over here! Give me some and I'll show you my latest discovery."

[ After trading in 1 crystal ] "Once you get down into the depths there are some bigger animals too!"

Luminescent Cavern - Wollstone

^ Day 1 (July 17th)

Day 1 (July 17th): "This glow isn't quite bright enough to read gothic novels by, but I suppose that removes the temptation. An e-reader? How gauche. Such texts can only be enjoyed in their original format. Oh, you're here to help me collect samples? You had better be careful; these specimens are very delicate.

Did you know that you, yourself are bioluminescent? The glow is so weak our eyes would need to be 1000 times more powerful to see it, but you do glow. My mushrooms are much more important right now, though. these extra arms!"
Day 2 (July 18th): "We are making a breakthrough, like Frankenstein's galvanism! I theorized that the densest areas of plant matter might hide additional tunnels or cave formations, and your work has uncovered just that. If we explore them, we may find the Chamber of Crystals."
Day 4 (July 20th): "Everyone has gone soft! Sure, I wanted to find these crystals, but my real reason for joining on was the bioluminescent features of this cave, and they remain exquisite. I'm very close to communicating with these mushrooms. No matter where that portal goes, I doubt you'll find something more interesting than what I have here. Plus, everything here glows; you need to shine a light on a crystal to get the same effect. They might look nice in a terrarium, I suppose. Did you know that the term "terrarium" traditionally means a completely closed ecosystem? It is self-sufficient and so beautiful for it."
Day 6 (July 22nd): "The past? I have studied the past. I look to the future. Leave it where it lies, I say. I will not be going through that nightmare portal; you can count me completely out of it. Now, I've created a communication device for the mushrooms to tell me their thoughts. Would you like to see what they think?"
Day 8 (July 24th): "You think my device could help you communicate with the prehistoric creatures? Like I said... just leave me out of it. And bring it back when you're done!"
Day 10 (July 26th): "You all have caused quite a stir here... but perhaps not all for the bad. I will definitely be back to study this cavern again, and maybe I will work harder to be friends in the future. Imbrie's paintings are quite interesting, and the discovery of a bioluminescent paint recipe is intriguing. I look forward to seeing future works!"

Day 8 (July 24th): "See? The future can include an homage to the past if you are so inclined."

Day 4 (July 20th): "I told you there were sentient mushrooms! More must have come through once the rubble collapsed."

Day 5 (July 21st): "Frankly, I think they're very sweet. They have a certain... gothic air. Perhaps it's the spores?"

First available on Day 1 (July 17th)

"I'm studying how fast the mushrooms grow back. So far the answer is as soon as I turn around! Please help me get these samples packed up."

[ After trading in 2 samples ] "There's too many for all the vials! Here, take some with you."

First available on Day 2 (July 18th)

"My research is going well, thank you for asking. Please keep collecting samples!"

[ After trading in 4 samples ] "Some of these mushrooms seem a little too sentient..."

Stalagmites - Freddie

^ Day 1 (July 17th)

Day 1 (July 17th): "Yes, yes, I'm just the junior geologist, but I think that I'm on to something, and I do have my degree! Ruben said that past cave-ins could be the answer to our mystery, and I agree rocks are definitely what it's all about! Please be careful collecting samples, only take what has naturally fallen from the walls and stalagmites and stalactites. Maybe the crystals are just inside the rocks we can already see!

Did you know that there are caves with crystals 12 meters long? I'd love to visit them, but since it's 60 degrees Celsius in there, we'll just have to find our own here!"
Day 3 (July 19th): "The rocks really were an answer! I went through and explored--don't tell Ruben--and spoke to the locals. They told me this whole cavern is the Chamber of Crystals! Rubble was once rocks, right? Make sure you get right into sampling that!"
Day 6 (July 22nd): "Oh no, oh no... I think this has all been a horrible mistake. We're going to ruin the whole world! Please just stay here. Rocks are rocks. We can study the past through them just fine. Fossils, you know? They tell us plenty. There are even some fossils that have feathers of dinosaurs preserved in them! Let's focus on those."
Day 8 (July 24th): "You've found amber? I know it looks like rocks, but it's not quite my area of expertise. Usually, it's used to study the past through well-preserved samples. Why don't you hang out with me instead, and we can explore more here?"
Day 10 (July 26th): "I'm so glad things are going to be going back to normal. This was certainly an adventure for my first experience with field research! Maybe Ruben will write a paper about all of this and allow me to be a co-author."

Day 1 (July 17th): "If you study the different rock formations closely enough, you might find that they have eyes."

Day 3 (July 19th): "Stalagmites and stalactites grow over time. Maybe these will, too."

First available on Day 7 (July 23rd)

"Stalactites provide an amazing amount of surface area for critters to hang from. They were scared away by the collapse, but they seem to be coming back. Collect samples quietly and you might see them!"

[ After trading in 4 samples ] "You trip over a stalagmite and the resulting noise causes some frightened creatures to cling to your shirt"

Crystal Pile - Billie
The Crystal Pile appeared on Day 3 of the event (July 19th)

^ Day 3 (July 19th)

Day 3 (July 19th): "Oh, hey there, partner! I got trapped in another part of the cave system when the original cave-in happened, but I'm glad to be back! My tail? Oh, don't worry about that."
Day 4 (July 20th): "Digging for crystals, you say? This is my home. Sure, there have been times when we gave crystals away as gifts, but you're talking about the decimation of what's here... enough to power a huge science machine? I'm not a scientist, and look at what they've done! Because of their machine letting through those sounds we've had to completely excavate our whole cave again. You couldn't even tell it was here when you arrived! I suppose you can have a few for now, but you're going to have to convince me if you want more."
Day 5 (July 21st): "Oh... hey. I see you took some crystals to Imbrie. I told you, I wasn't convinced.

Wait, what's this? Oh my, I thought my friends were lost forever! Thank you so much for helping them get back here. It's true, if more collapses happen we could get separated again. And they're promising to turn it off, so there won't be any more danger? Well, if they are truly going to end this, and soon, I suppose you can take a few more crystals. Just enough for their machine, and no more, you hear me? Else I'll have to take you into custody. This isn't the wild west!"
Day 6 (July 22nd): "Crystals this, crystals that... of course, you need more. Just, promise that you're going to use them to get this fixed as soon as possible, okay?"
Day 9 (July 25th): "Do you promise that you've really solved the problem this time? No more asking for crystals after we've closed the portal? It's true, I haven't heard any more roars or felt any more shaking since you all came back through today, but you understand my mistrust. I have to keep law and order here!"
Day 10 (July 26th): "Thank you so much for returning the crystals you used to power the machine back in one piece. I'm glad that it's going to be turned off forever, now. This cavern really ain't big enough for two time periods!"

Day 4 (July 20th): "Wow! Don't forget to take a photo to remember how beautiful this is."

First available on Day 3 (July 19th)

"Everyone else was focusing on the big pile of rock that fell down, but if you remove some dirt from this area you'll see something special!"

[ After trading in 3 samples ] "Wow, they've really become one with the environment!"

First available on Day 5 (July 21st)

"Hey, I know you need crystals for your science stuff, but we need to make sure they aren't all removed from this area. If you give some to me to keep my friends will hang out with you!"

[ After trading in 1 crystal ] "Look, they have crystals on them just like me!"

First available on Day 5 (July 21st)

"Oh, Imbrie wants to apologize? Well, I pretty much already accepted it, but I'll read the note anyway."

[ After trading in 1 apology note ] "Good thing I did! Imbrie also asked for a special crystal. Apparently, this type of crystal will sync with the portal and allow it to open. I suppose you'll need this to fix things, so here you go."

^ After digging / during cooldown

First available on Day 4 (July 20th)

"Billie is letting us dig up a crystal, click a square to dig for crystals! Keep on digging until you find something!"

[ After digging something up ] "Nice one, you dug something up!"

[ During cooldown ] "There will be no crystals left if you dig this often! Come back in __ minutes!"

Village - Devon
The Village appeared on Day 3 of the event (July 19th)

^ Day 3 (July 19th)

Day 3 (July 19th): "On one hand, I'm worried about that sound coming again, but on the other, I'm so glad we have access to the full cavern again! What? Do you think we don't know about the world out there? Of course, we do! But we have to stay here most of the time because it's cold, and that's what we're used to. Freddie came back here and said this is a "microbiome," which sounds cool. Feel free to have a look around, but don't go past our homes..."
Day 4 (July 20th): "I see that Imbrie has talked to you, so my warning was for naught. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing. Mallett had ambitions far beyond what I ever dreamed for our community. Actions were taken that went too far, and now our home has been harmed. If getting this to work can truly end the shaking that's destroying our home I suppose I support it, but I hope that Imbrie will go back to painting after this, and let us exist in peace."
Day 6 (July 22nd): "I know Imbrie is excited, but I am worried. The sounds are getting more frequent, and louder, and worse. But, you're right. It does sound like someone is injured. Wouldn't it be wrong to just leave an animal suffering if we can fix the problem? Please be quick, I don't want the cavern to destabilize."
Day 7 (July 23rd):You're really helping Imbrie become more centered and less frantic; hard to believe, I know. It was such a tragedy, what happened to Mallett--but let's not talk about that. Things are on the mend now, and it can all be laid to rest soon, correct? There was a small destabilization last night, but nothing like the previous collapse. Our community is working hard to spot weaknesses and shore up any issues with Ruben and Freddie's help. Please talk to Imbrie and stress the importance of closing the portal soon."
Day 9 (July 25th): "I am breathing quite a big sigh of relief if the worst is truly over! Thank you for your help. As a parent and community leader, I know what it's like to see an individual in pain and want to help them, even at a great cost. it's important for me to know that your moral compass was strong. I was afraid, but the right thing has been done."

Day 3 (July 19th): "If you want to stay warm around here, you're going to need some clothes like us!"

Day 4 (July 20th): "You all have your own style, but I think some jewelry will help you fit in."

Day 5 (July 21st): "You're still cold? It does take a lot of getting used to."

Day 6 (July 22nd): "I heard you and your friends started a contest to see who's the most fashionable... and I'm happy to help!"

Day 7 (July 23rd): "Yeah, I fell in the tar pits too. Here's something clean to wear on this side of the portal!"

Day 8 (July 24th): "Our artisans created some new styles to meet the demand, here you go!"

Day 10 (July 26th): "We have prepared some gifts for you. Don't forget them before you leave!"

Day 10 (July 26th): "You've really whetted the youngsters' thirst for adventure! Could they perhaps go on a field trip to the modern world with you?"

First available on Day 4 (July 20th)

"Those vials you have collected your samples in are quite small; we usually take baskets and water vessels. Maybe if you trade some to us we could show you how it's done?"

[ After trading in 3 samples ] "Here, we'll send some guides with you!"

Cave end Portal - Imbrie
The Cave end appeared on Day 3 of the event (July 19th)
The name was changed to Portal - Imbrie on Day 4 of the event (July 20th)

^ Day 4 (July 20th), previously there was no NPC

Day 4 (July 20th): "Sorry, I wasn't around yesterday, I was hunting for my father's journals. I used to help paint the illustrations in them for him, but he started to get secretive, and he hid them.

You see, he wanted nothing more than to travel to the past. We are in a quite unique cavern here; the area where we live is akin to the most recent ice age. There is much to study here that could be shared with the world, but he wanted more. He thought if he could travel to the past and study more biomes... well, the point is he created this portal, but it doesn't work right, and I can't figure out how to turn it off. Destroying it would just cause another collapse, as it's built into the cavern.

If it didn't work at all we wouldn't be dealing with this, but as it is, well, we need to find his notes and figure out how to turn it on so we can also turn it off. The only thing I know for sure is the power source is supposed to be crystals. Is there any way you can collect a large amount of them for us? And help us find the journal? I know I'm asking a lot, but if another cave-in happens..."
Day 6 (July 22nd): "What... is that?! I know I said I was going to throw the switch, but it works! It actually works! I just want to look around a little bit, okay? Think of all the paintings I could create based on the scenery and creatures there! Bring your special crystal with you and let's go!"
Day 7 (July 23rd): "You found dinosaurs?? I could paint those too. There is so much more than I imagined! Please explore deeper into the forest; I need to know exactly what you saw. In return, I can definitely help you with your bioluminescent paint! Art is almost science, sometimes, and it's amazing what can be created when the two are merged. Wollstone was watching me paint and said as much too--you wouldn't believe how much I blushed--the same color as my hair!"
Day 9 (July 25th): "I know that Devon and Ruben and all the others saying we have to close are correct after all. You all managed to find almost the complete notebook, as far as I can tell, and it does give information for shutting this off. We will have to be careful, though, and it will take a little more time. You're going to cooperate and help me button this up, right?"
Day 10 (July 26th): "Make sure you check the timer that shows how much longer the portal will be open! After that, it will close forever, and if you're still in the past, well, I hope you like cave paintings as much as I do!"

Day 3 (July 19th): "Devon told you not to go past this point, but you want to explore! However, without a guide, you get lost and cold. Better head back."

First available on Day 5 (July 21st)

"If we get enough crystals to power the portal it will start right up! Please bring us as many as you can."

[ After trading in 1 crystal ] "Oh, it looks like these crystal creatures were trapped on this side of the rubble. Will you help them get back down to their home?"

First available on Day 5 (July 21st)

"Oh, you found some pages of the journal? That's amazing. I know it's not exactly a prize, but once you give them to me I have a request..."

[ After trading in 1 journal page ] "I understand that using all of these crystals is very hard on the crystal creatures. We've always coexisted with them without any problems, and now we're imposing. Please take this note to Billie so I can apologize. I'd go myself, but I am learning so much from these journal pages and I have to stay and work on the portal."
