Two votes is probably enough I guess. You collectively pick up the rope and continue your journey through the grass forest. As before you encounter more giant versions of typically tiny grassland creatures, including giant prairie dog tunnels that could probably house a town, but they remain just as skittish as their more manageably sized counterparts and dash away upon hearing multiple adventurers stumbling through their home with full gear. At one point you encounter a pile of herbivore dung the size of a small hill, a grim reminder that somewhere in this forest lurks creatures that make giant ticks look like regular ticks. Still nothing else attempts to murder you for your bodily fluids, so the journey goes smoothly.
By evening, you have reached the 'O' on the map. Sticking out just barely above the surrounding grass is a series of domed buildings made of a rainbow-colored crystal material. Each is roughly the size of a coliseum, they would seem large if not for your sense of scale being shifted by your trip through the grass forest. It is clearly to anyone with passing knowledge of the Precursors that these are Precursor ruins.
Between the ruins are a series of houses and huts made of the tall yellow grass of the forest. It seems the people who live here have accepted the fact that they can not clear land for housing integrated the grass into their home plans, with many of the homes being basket-like structures incorporating still living grass that rises above with the smoke from their fire places. A similar structure acts as a wall or fence to the settlement, rising up to the top of the surrounding grass with three sister walls a stone's throw away. Said structure would easily be scaled or destroyed by a dedicated army, but it would probably slow down any bandits looking for easy money. Judging by the size of the homes the primary races living here are of the smaller sort.
