safe forest

  • noun An area of forest on the surface which isn't part of a hostile environment. Most safe forests are either "dense forest" or "pine forest", but there are a few other one-off examples. Safe forests are where mortals of hero/heroine level and above appear when they leave the Tearoom, and where genies deposit relocated many items. In a safe forest, wh spells will generally give an ambiguous answer, and you can therefore often sit around for a while before anyone or anything bothers you (they're a favourite place to sleep, unless it's raining). However, bear in mind that safe forests are not absolutely safe, just comparatively safe with regard to other forests (eg. those on the Dragon Isle or in the Evil Wood). See df.
