@set south/traverse_msg = "Leaving the dock, you want along the soft sandy shore next to the Lavender Sea, enjoying the mesmerizing sound of the surf... until you come to a shack that blocks your stroll."
@desc here = Puppy-dog |Ywaves|n on a lavender |Ysea|n, snap your heels half-heartedly. Walking hard steps, punching crusted |Ysand|n, difficulty crossing land. Robust |Yshack|n squatting below a |Ypine|n, locked door holding painted |Ysign|n.
@detail waves = Despite the inclement weather, the waves ripple gently against the shore.
#
@detail sea;lavender sea = Is that a |Yboat|n you see sailing the sea in the distance?
#
@detail boat;ship = The mastless ship looks like a giant leaf. Wonder if it comes to shore?
#
@detail shack = Standing crookedly at the edge of the sandy shore, this shack's weathered planks, bleached by the salty mist, imparts a ghostly appearance. The roof, adorned with seashells and driftwood, appears to be a patchwork of nature's treasures, inviting curious souls to uncover the secrets hidden within.

# Sand
# Part of the [[Potions and their Ingredients][Alchemist Path]], we use sand as an ingredient in a potion we want to make.

@desc pine = Windswept pine leans to shade the shack, protecting it somewhat from the regular occuring rain. Interesting, that the pine has beautiful, yellow |Yflowers|n.
@desc door = Barnacle encrusted door with rusty irons bands and a comically large padlock. The door sports a hand-painted |Ysign|n that reads: |wFor Rent. See Dabbler for details.
#
@set door/traverse_msg = "The lock opens when you touch it, and the door opens with loud sigh. You step inside and close the door behind you."
@detail tools = A set of finely crafted tools lies neatly arranged on a velvet cloth: a pair of tweezers for handling delicate ingredients, a small scalpel for precise cutting, and a set of measuring spoons made from silver, each engraved with different symbols representing the elements.
# Inside the Secret Room:8 ends here
# Jars
# Can jars be a producer that returns a random jar with a “content”?
# Every time we look at a jar, we see something else … that we can’t take. This creates ambiance without adding too much complexity?
@set jars/get_err_msg = "The imp slaps your hand away and shakes his head. While you can take an empty |Ybottle|n, you can't take the currated ingredients. Guess you can always find your own ingredients, eh?"
