Curious Details #5: The Peak Of Mt. Komorebi

Build the skills.

Purchase gear.

Gather the crew.

Brave the blizzard, snow-covered climbing walls, and the temptation of a romp in the frigid cave.

The peak of Mt. Komorebi is all yours.

All around are clouds obscuring your vision of what lies below.

As mortals go about their days and nights, you revel in the privilege only provided to the gods themselves...at least a taste, if nothing else.

What then does Mt. Komorebi offer in tribute to your grace? An empty lot...oh, and a toilet bush. Why, you can just hear the mortals bemoaning their already-built abodes and indoor plumbing.

But wait...what's that by the bush? Oh, it's just a snow pile. You kick it in frustration, and your foot touches something solid beneath the powdery dome. Reaching in and frantically brushing away the granules, you spy a bottle of glowing liquid. It calls to you to "drink", and with a swig it refreshes not only your mind, but your body. You feel brand-new. Looking down, you see that the pile has reappeared, as still and unbroken as before. Another sojourn of the hand brings with it a credit chip in protective housing. Slotting it into your phone sees your household funds skyrocket. Shaking hands and wide eyes slowly descend into the depths of the mystical pile once more...

Younger and richer than ever, you plop the rare Mayor Whiskers simmie capsules into your sack, and notice the sound of echoing coming from up ahead, a previously obscured path leading you to a cave just like the one you passed on the way up from the Croft Icefall. You find a spring and drink in the cool, clean water, and feeling a bit more energetic, you then follow a strange smell to an old monk who imparts a bit of knowledge to raise your skills. Bowing as you depart, you take note of some footprints, likely belonging to your predecessors. Whilst you don't find them (thankfully), you do find a bag full of credit chips. On the way out, you spot a shiny object and manage to separate a mineral sample from the cave wall. Breathing in the frigid air once more, you are greeted by small, doll-like shades who grant you their favor as you bow to them in respect. You could stay forever, sure, but where would you spend the newfound money? Who would buy your expensive capsules? How long would your remaining rations last? You survey the lot at the peak to plot out the legacy you'll leave for others to find, and make your way back down. As you reach the slope down towards the Croft, you glance sideways at the snow pile...

"Just one more look won't hurt".

You can also sleep in the cave, but like...why though?

Not the one from RoM, but the one from the Reward Store. She then found 10k simoleons...in the snow pile of all places.

3 in a row, to be exact. I think they call that a "Hat Trick".

5,000 Simoleons. Yeah, sure. They just decided to "donate" 5k to the cave.

A mineral/metal. Not noteworthy, but useful.

Thanks, but like...I just made 15k from dea- er, "generous" adventurers and a magic ball of snow. You've got to do better than that.
