Hidden Street: Weiqi Garden

Deep inside Triceratan forest, lie/stands/sits/squats/kneels the great Altanist City, a place of concrete and nothing else. It is an abandoned city none can enter. Unless you stand at the door with the mushwoom statue on it and press up (that’s you jump). You will be transported to the Weiqi Garden, where all is black and white except for the trees, which is chopped up to make containers and boards for the gobbly weiqi seeds to rest on/in. not that they rest, though. They rattle away in their containers. They chitter away on the board. In the ground where they are planted, they cause HUGE earthquakes, and even when they hang on the stalk of the grown up plant, they shake violently until they are being freed from the wrath of the plant stalks. After they are released, they may do a few things:

1) Position themselves on a weiqi board.
2) Shoot around dangerously while trying to eat you.
3) Rattle with others of the same colour in a container.
4) Plant/Sow itself in the ground.

There might be many other hidden portals, but our brave explorers have not found them yet. They are currently trying all methods to enter every ‘door-looking thing’, including the arc of Zonkywonky, which is apparently NOT welcome in Triceratan Island.
