Category:Akrikto's Farm
Years of herding catoblepas have hardened Akrikto, who spends most of his time chasing trespassers off his property. The rest of his time is spent keeping the catoblepas from escaping -- a failure, to say the least. Yet even this simple farmer harbors a dark secret. Every day he is reminded of the mistakes of his past.

Connections
The area consists of two distinct parts - the upper layer with the three-room house and a large field (5x4) to the west, and the lower part with the network of caves (about 5x3 + a 6-room addition). Navigating both is mostly trivial.
To get to the lower levels, you need to push table, which although is a large and massive piece of furniture described in the room Akrikto's farmhouse's description, it is a rogue lore-only lever that needs to be pushed by a sneaky character. Hopefully this will get fixed in the future.
Entire area is uncursed so feel free to recall anytime.
Adventuring
The area's upper layer is an Eragoran response to Tortuga Cay. The cows are big, juicy and non-aggie and flee with regularity, making it necessary to chase them a lot if you do not have a caster capable of dishing larger amounts of damage. This makes them tricky (or simply tedious) for a regular group but perfectly ok for casters. Two s3 disintegrates will kill them for over 200xp per cow. The bulls are a bit more HP-heavy but hit just as weak, and three s3 disintegrates will kill them for over 300xp each.
Only the tree may prove to be an issue to smaller casters.
As for the lower areas, they are a bit more dangerous due to multiple aggie mobs (that also hit harder) per room. So duo these if you lack the HPs to solo.
Area is not really big enough to sustain a prolonged run with a brute-oriented group; however, neither is it so demanding as to require one.
You might want to beware of corpse eaters, at least one of the Heifers eats mob corpses, but the centipedes and other nasty creatures in the cave systems eat player corpses.
Unlike some other Eragoran areas, this area will not auto-CR you. Due to no rooms being cursed, mercy and gurney will work just fine.
