Plactro's Cave

Plactro's Cave
At first glance, Plactro's cave seems to be rather simple and small. There is a bamboo platform covered in leaves and moss in the back to be used as a resting place, and a smaller one next to it, on which a pet scavenger sleeps. A small distance away is a small table, on top of which lie an oil lamp, an inkwell, and a clean scroll. On the two sides of the cave are shelves. One is filled with many scrolls filled with all kinds of documentations, research records, prototype blueprints and descriptions, and creative writing. The other contains all sorts of objects and tools, from an improved version of a simple knife to a contraption that seems to be used for generating sparks easily to a high magnification lens to a miniature set of wings, apparently a prototype to allow the pet scavenger to glide when jumping off of cliffs. A well near the front of the cave, and positioned on the side, allows easy access to a nearby groundwater source, and a system of pipes allows waste water and other water-containing wastes to be transported downwards to a field, where the water is filtered and becomes groundwater, and the waste is eaten by insects, animals, and microorganisms. A lattice of vines covers the entrance to prevent unwanted visitors (usually predatory animals hoping to make a meal of the pet scavenger), and a large door, also comprised of vines, is in the bottom center of the vine lattice, serving as the main entrance to the cave. Outside the cave entrance is a small area of land, which drops away into a cliff.
