A Jagged Hello

Upon first landing on Phaedos, the Rangers found themselves right smack in the middle of the intrusive volcanic landform created dikes.

Dikes are created by a series of lava flows resulting from intense volcanic activity. They are formed when magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface into basalt. They are then exposed through erosion.

As you can see, these dikes are very rough and jagged. This tells us it took a while for the magma to cool and solidify.

As an added bonus, we can see these dikes also have many joints, which came in handy when the Rangers got attacked by Tengu Warriors. They were able to hide inside of them to catch their breath for a few seconds.

The Rangers had a tough time fighting in this area. The dangerous landscape caused them to have a hard time keeping their balance and I'm sure it hurt like nobody's business when they took a hit and fell to the ground. Luckily our Rangers were saved by Dulcea, Master Warrior of Phaedos...

What dangers will our Rangers face next? Come back next time to find out...
