I got a friend who has went in the green muck without his sword too...no treasure for him.
But he did get the consolation prize of being knocked one step down on the food chain for a short amount of time.
lol..
Moonscape did me pretty bad too my first time there, trust me when I say, you had a
good first ride on Moonscape.
You'd like Boyette too, if you haven't been there yet.
