| Hot Spring
|
|
The Hot Spring is a landmark located south of the Mountain, fed by water that sprouts from its tallest point. It functions as an infinite Healing Pool to restore 
Stamina, although the process is slow and consumes valuable day time; this is a particular consideration when The Alchemist stays inside to recuperate. Some Villagers spend some time there each week. The place is perfect for The Alchemist to ask to go on Dates when Friendship is high. An Ancient Spirit from the era of the Old Kingdom inhabits the Hot Spring, but it only becomes visible once a year during the Springtime Spirit Festival.

Springtime Spirit Festival
- Main Article: Festivals
The Springtime Spirit Festival takes place on Spring 21st at 20:00 at the Hot Spring. After discovering that an Ancient Spirit inhabits the hot spring, a festival is organized to give offerings to it. The Alchemist can choose one of the Villagers to give an Item as an offering, receiving some Friendship points. The "Spirit of the Spring" will react differently depending on the item offered.

ALCHEMIST! IT'S ZED! SOMETHING INCREDIBLE TURNED UP IN MY RESEARCH!
Oh, sorry, I had my fountain pen on caps lock. Cleo and I just unearthed some ancient texts that speak about a Great Spirit that lives in the hot spring, and I desperately need your help to dig further! Apparently, the people of the Old Kingdom used to give offerings to this "Spirit of the Spring" and sometimes received blessings in return.
I thought it might be nice to have a festival to try it out for ourselves! I promise it'll be fun and not just a boring sciencey research time. Bring an offering -- something valuable, ideally!

Hi Alchemist! It's your favourite Zed here!
The Springtime Spirit Festival Time (that's what I've been calling it, anyway) is almost here again! We'll be meeting at the hot spring just like last time, and we're all bringing gifts for the Great Spirit. I'm not sure that it liked my gift last year, so I'm going to try something different this time. It's like a multi-year experiment! Yay!
Anyway, the Festival will be at 20:00 at the hot springs. See you there!
Zed |
 Cleo |
(happy) "You came! Oh, I'm so excited to see what will happen!"
(smile) "Are you ready to start? Maybe... you'd like to watch it with me?" (happy) "Excellent! Let's begin, then!" |
 Ferra |
(smile) "I made the Great Spirit something that I know *I* would love, if I was a big giant god."
(happy) "It's a hammer that's hollow on the inside, so you can store soup in it! AMAZING WORK, FERRA."
(smile) "I know, I'm irresistible. Wanna spend the festival with the most genius person on Moonstone Island, AKA me?" (happy) "YEAHHHH! IT'S FERRA TIME." |
 Gaiana |
"Yeah, I bet if someone gave *me* expensive gifts I'd be nicer to them, too."
(frown) "What? Why are you looking at me like that??"
(neutral) "Anyway... I guess you can watch with me... if you want..." |
 Ofelia |
"I've been growing an exceptionally rare plant from the Old Kingdom just so I can gift it to the Great Spirit."
(smile) "I hope it likes it!"
"Do you want to stay here with me so we can watch together?" |
 Ossono |
"Do you think ancient Spirit-gods would like my Dish of the Day?"
(laugh) "Maybe I shouldn't risk it... I don't want to kill a god."
(happy) "Hey, if you wanna watch it with me, that would be really cool!" |
 Paolo |
(happy) "Paolo loves to see new things happening on this beautiful island!"
(smile) "Do you think the Great Spirit enjoys handmade chairs?"
"Oh, and... maybe you would like to spend the festival with Paolo?" (happy) "Hooray for Paolo!" |
 Quill |
"So, has this Great Spirit been inside this hot spring the whole time?"
(awkward) "I've skinny dipped in here so many times! Oh no!!!"
(laugh) "Anyway, do you wanna hang out with me while the festival stuff happens?" |
 Rowan |
(awkward) "WHY IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT THAT THERE'S BEEN A GOD IN THE HOT SPRING THIS WHOLE TIME?!"
(smile) "Maybe... maybe you could stay here by my side in case anything, um, goes wrong?" (happy) "Phew. Thank you!" |
 Tobin |
(laugh) "Well, I'm glad I never fished in the hot spring."
(awkward) "I don't want to think about what the Great Spirit might have done to me..."
(smile) "Well, enough about that. Ye want to spend the festival with me?" (happy) "Nice! C'mere, let's stand close." |
Zed |
(happy) "THIS IS SO EXCITING."
"I can't believe we might get to see a real, live deity of the Old Kingdom!"
(smile) "Do you think you'd want to watch it... with me?" |

 Waldo |
"Well well well well, *I* knew there was something special about the hot spring."
"I thought mayhaps it was buried treasure, but an ancient deity is good, also, yes."
"Oh... yes... perhaps you'd like to stand here with me, for the festival, perhaps?" |
