Hey folks, version 0.8.5 is here! As per the last poll, Rath has been added into the game and given vore scenes! This update also features a proper story, with the player being caught in the middle of a conflict between two shady characters; Mitryll and Duke. Duke is the leader of the town of Burkehill, who you can finally meet in-game, as well as his trusty bodyguard, Tallies-The-Stars. Tallies-The-Stars also debuts with his own vore scene too, written by the owner of the character (Mitryll)! Without further ado...

Changelog for v0.8.5:
Added Rath, a large orange dragon who isn't the friendly type. To find him, teleport with the Oak sigil, head south to the ancient forest, the head west to the dead end.
Added Rath's combat scenes and pred vore scenes. Upon meeting the orange dragon, you will be forced to fight him, and losing the fight will result in you getting devoured. His vore scene is a fully-interactive oral vore scene with him as predator, the player as prey, smaller-pred, digestion, weight-gain, optional bones, and both fatal and reformation endings. Once you are fully digested by Rath, there is a bonus scene if you 'pass time' long enough where he fights and gets eaten by his rival, which changes the rest of the post-digestion scene.
Added in the first major quest for the story of The Cave. To progress the story, find your way into Burkehill and meet up with Mitryll there to obtain his quest. Complete his quest by fixing the ritual circle in town, then come back into town a little bit later to see an important event in the Tavern. Entering the tavern will begin the first major quest, which leads you through many 'cutscenes'. The events of this quest can vary depending on your relationship with certain NPCs, where they will come to help you in your time of need. Lastly, during the quest, you will be able to meet Duke Burke as well as his bodyguard.
Added Duke Burke, the leader of the town of Burkehill. He is an anthro Jagras who is brash, rude, and an proper asshole... but seems to have good intentions, despite his extreme methods. Duke is pivotal to the story of The Cave, and can function as an antagonistic force against you, the player, depending on your choices.
Added Tallies-The-Stars, bodyguard of Duke. This tall lizardfolk is adorned in fancy armor, and knows how to swing a sword. You will meet him the same time as you meet Duke, in the Town Hall. During the events in the story, he'll be in charge of keeping an eye on you...
Added Tallies-The-Stars' combat scenes and vore scenes. There will be slight spoilers ahead, so skip this paragraph if you wish to not see them. After you attempt to escape the town jail, Tallies will spot you and combat will begin. Losing this combat and letting yourself be devoured will begin his vore scene. His vore scene is a fully-interactive oral vore scene with him as predator, the player as prey, same-size, digestion, weight-gain, optional bones, and a fatal ending. This scene is written by Mitryll.
Gave each room in the map screen their own color.

Slight code-reformatting done for Rett's scenes.
