Basking Hamlet Hills

[CJ]

A flourishing town built upon the scorched earth and veins of magma on the coast. Great vacation spot, if you don't mind the heat.
The town is composed of 10 large, slightly flat mounds of earth interwoven with flows of molten rock, which serves as both a pathway for their special gondolas and a source of energy for their geothermic mills. The gondolas are free, so feel free to call one to get through the river.

PORT HILL
This is the port of the town. Watch out for boiling water! There's really not much to see here.

The Floating Restaurant
A lovely restaraunt that resembles a very large boat, floating tranquilly alongside the port hill. The choice seats are those that hang just over the connection point between lava and ocean, which results in a very healthy sauna-like vapor treatment while you eat. The Maitre De and all the waiters are a single a Lava Piranha Plant, with it's secondary heads acting as the waiters while the main head does the cooking and welcoming. The waiters pop directly out of the middle of the table through the large pipes that interweave in the middle of the ship. Try some of the delightful cuisine!

Once you use it, it's gone. 20 coins.

--Lunch--
Roast Salad: Salad made lovingly by deep frying every peice in a unique mixture that acts as the dressing and cheese.
