>You depart, while the faerie goes back to trying to gather moss.
>You continue on through a cavern with a number of rocky shelves that make a kind of large stairway leading deeper into the earth. As you descend it, you can start to hear boisterous festival-like music echoing from ahead, before the cavern widens out to the point you cannot see the far walls or the ceiling overhead. A wooden bridge stretches ahead, passing over a dark river. Beyond the bridge is the city, surrounded by an old stone wall and lit by countless lights.

>No.
>You cross the bridge and pass through the modest gateway into the city. Beyond the gate, a road stretches further...northward, you think? Wooden homes and buildings, few more than a story high, line the road. Oni are everywhere, just a few in the immediate area who pay you no mind as they go about their business and quite a bit more ahead. Lanterns and strings of light seem to be everywhere, though which are light and which are not seems to be pretty haphazard. You note a street snaking eastward along the wall.

>You make your way down the main thoroughfare. The crowds get larger and more difficult to find your way around, while the homes give way to stands and shop fronts. The smell of various fried foods fill the air, making you fairly aware that it's close to lunch time. It doesn't take too long to find your way to the main intersection and take a right into a street mostly lined with various taverns, as well as oni dealing in home-made liquors from alleys and wherever there is space to avoid the crowds. The crowds themselves are not always cooperative, as the oni have a tendency to stop and gather into groups at impede the flow of traffic; or get into brawls.
>Still, after dodging around crowds and broken bottles on the road, you see one pub among many, with a large window in front and reasonably new-looking sign that proclaims it The Pressed Rose.
