The Late-Permian Event (#1074)(an instance of Generic Post-Apocalypse Room made by Calkins)245 millian years in the past: it is night and you gasp in the oxygen-depleted atmosphere. In the distance you see a volcanic eruption that fills the sky with an orange glow. Adding to the light is the burning of a forest of giant horsetails. The stench of decay and sulphur is overpowering, and you notice the nearby beach is heaped with dead trilobites -- 90 percent of all living species will become extinct in this mysterious catastrophie. Panting for air, you look around at the spectacle as long as you can before invoking "next". EXITS: [ next ] Late Cretaceous. |
