Inside a Small Cabin~
   As you step into the shabby cabin the smell makes you gag.  A slight haze
makes your eyes sting.  Whoever lives here has no regard for cleanliness.  
Piles of rags lay everywhere

bunk~
   As you examine the bunk closer you notice some of the rags may not be as shabby
as you originally thought. No one would miss them, would they?

stove~
   The stove looks like it hasn't been used for a few years. In the bottom you see a
thick pile of ashes. You notice something sparkling in the ashes.

In Front of the Hermit's Cabin~
   You stop and stare at the decrepit bundle of sticks that must be where some
recluse hermit lives. You can't imagine living out here, beyond the safety of the
city walls. Thick forests block any exit to the north and you can see the city wall
to the south.

Along the City Wall~
   As you walk by the city wall you notice the forest is getting thicker.  A
slight gloom hangs over this part of the woods.  You start to walk a little
faster.  Further to the west you can see a small clearing with something that
looks like a shack.

Along the City Wall~
   The few animals in this part of the forest scatter as you walk by. The forest
is thickening slightly, a little less sunlight is making it to the forest floor.
Overhead you can hear birds chirping and squirrels chattering. This place feels very
peaceful.

The Northern Road~
   You are standing at the beginning of the road to the city of the Minotaurs,
Dun Maura. Many rumors abound of these savage beasts but few leave the city walls
to explore. To the north you see a thick forest. To the east and west are small 
paths along the city wall.

Along the City Wall~
   The forest along this part of the wall is thinnning out.  Further east it
looks as if the forest disappears all together and turns into a grassy plain.  
Small innocent forest creatures abound in this healthy forest.

Along the City Wall~
   The forest is almost completely gone now, replaced by tall fields of grass as
far as the eyes can see. An unnatural cold breeze blows from the east. You have a 
sudden urge to head back towards the safety of the forest, or even better yet, 
back to the city.

A Dead End~
   Because of the tall grass you almost stumble right into a massive crevice to
the east. It looks impossible to cross. You have no choice but to head back west.
These plains give you an eerie feeling anyways.

blocking your vision. It would be very easy for someone, or something, to sneak
up on you here. You can continue north or east through the forest.

The Northern Road~
   The northern road is made of hard dirt. Packed solid from years of use from
both travellers, merchants, and peddlers. Wagon tracks leave small ruts in the
road. To the west is some thick woodlands, while to the east you think you can
make out some plains in the distance. The road continues north or south.

casm that blocks any further travel east. You wonder at what could have caused 
this natural barrier. You are blocked from continuing north or east.

Edge of the Plains~
   The plains stretch to the north and east as far as you can see.  To the
south you can hear the sound of rushing water.  West you stare into a dismal
swampland.  The stories you've heard about getting lost in those plains makes
you decide to stick closer to civilization.

The Northern Road~
   The northern road hugs the edge of the pond to the east.  The forest to the
west looks too thick to bother leaving the easy travelling of this road.  The
road continues north and south.

   A small pond is just to the west.  The water looks murky and unclean.  To
the north is more forest while east and south it looks a little swampy.  Small
animals scatter as you intrude on their territory.

   Someone had the common sense to put a bridge here so you would not have to
walk in the muddy swamp.  It feels good to be on dry ground for a change.  The

corpse~

have been a minotaur. You can just barely make out some horns and one leg floating
in the muck has a hoove.

The Edge of the Plains~
