    <description>Dirt meets stone here as a road begins its winding journey north along a cut-out hillside shrouded by a grove of trees. Just a few hundred feet north a large growth of reeds forces a jog to the northwest.  In a clump of weeds sits a makeshift stone bench and small pile of stones.  If it was once a shrine, someone has long since removed the statue and abandoned its care.</description>

    <description>Tapping your foot on the ground, the hardness of stone confirms you are on the road.  You feel your way about searching for the hillside to the west or the reeds to the east.  Once oriented, a sense of calm returns and you consider your options.</description>
    <description>The stones of the road fit seamlessly together, locked to each other without mortar.  Traces of rust form two paths in this curve where the iron rims of the wagon wheels have paid the price of taking the turn too fast.  A bullfrog croaks out his presence somewhere in the tall reeds that line the road.  The shade of the trees to the northwest is alluring yet daunting.</description>

    <description>Gnats swarm annoyingly about your head, prompting you to bat at them with your hand in vain.  To the north, you can see where the road leaves the shadows and enters the safety of daylight about a half a mile away.  Curving to the southeast, the road leads you to the closest exit for this grove.  Moss clings to the stones of the road where it meets the water and reeds to the east.</description>

    <description>Some reeds have been hacked away close to the road, undoubtedly destined to become someone's new basket.  The removal has left an opening in the reeds allowing you to peer into the marsh on the other side which seemingly waits for its next victim.  A water beetle that is traveling through the mud stops and waves its feelers at you in what seems to be a challenge before continuing on its way.</description>

    <description>The lack of direct sunlight here is daunting.  You can't seem to suppress the notion this is the perfect place for highway bandits to ply their trade.  Squinting at the deeper shadows, you search the area for possible ambush locations and poke at the reeds just to make sure.  A quick glance north and south confirms you are in the middle of the grove.</description>

    <description>High reeds create a thick wall to the southeast. A makeshift target is tacked to the closest tree.  Someone has been practicing their archery, and on closer inspection you see the arrowheads that are now and forever a part of the tree. To the northwest you see a large bridge now in ruin, which used to span the river.  To the south the road heads directly into the shadows of a grove of trees.</description>

    <description>A large stone bridge that once spanned the expanse of the river here, now lays in ruin.  The town of Riverhaven, the bridge's orginal destination, sits on the other side.  Gazing at the town, the orange glow of the town's street torches forms an eerie dome in the night sky.  To the southeast, a wall of reeds creeps down from a group of trees into the river and attempts to survive the currents of the river.</description>

    <description>Smoke fills the air, not enough to stifle one's breath but enough to cast ominous shadows.  Tables, usually filled with hungry patrons, lay in smoldering pieces.  The hearth's mantel is burned through its middle as if the flame had escaped its brick confines.  The walls are discolored by scorching save for a spot along one wall where the wood grain still shows through.  The damage done to the room seems to have removed all of Penelope Burrows' touches that made this a cheerful place to eat.</description>

Except for a few jars broken on the ground, the remaining jars of herbal remedies and boxes of bandages are still somewhat in order on narrow wooden shelves.  Lard candles and sprigs of dried coneflowers remain hanging from a peg rail.  Fresh globs of wax upon the floor prove someone was here recently and perhaps even took shelter in this room.</description>

    <description>Neverending shadow looms at the base of the mountain where a small area has been cleared of vegetation and debris.  Under a small overhang next to a smoothed wall of the mountain stands an armed and burly Dwarf, leaning casually against the side of the mountain and eyeing everyone who approaches him.</description>

    <description>A hot, dry breeze from the south stirs up whorls of gritty dust that spiral about in dense clouds before subsiding.  Thin layers of grey-white powder coat the walls and obscure the vibrant colors of the murals beneath.

    <description>Jagged shards of obsidian thrust up from the parched earth at odd angles, formed by the shifting lava flows.  Faint hints of olivine streak the glassy surface.  The sharp edges and poisonous green color give rise to the local name for this area, the Fangs of Ushnish.  As lava cools, it hardens, only to break out again in another location.  The path through the field is never constant as nature's wrath, or that of the god, makes itself known in molten rock.</description>

A faint path can be made out that wanders into the trees, but it fades off before you can wonder about where it might lead.  There is an unnerving quiet here, even the wind seems to have died.  You feel a stranger in this wild place, perhaps an unwelcome stranger.</description>

Thin plumes of blue-grey smoke drift from squat chimneys and waft across the lane in a faintly shifting haze, bringing to mind reassuring memories of hearth and home.</description>

    <description>Blythe Lane draws to a drowsy close inside the village wall, where a bank of aromatic thyme and lavender grows strong and robust beneath the vine-clad grey and yellow sandstone.  Several of the homes in this area boast a similar display of scented herbs in their front gardens, infusing the air with a memorably pungent perfume reminiscent of a warm, dewy morning in the countryside.</description>

A bright yellow building with blue shutters and colorful flowerboxes faces you.  There is a painted sign mounted next to the open doorway.  A Halfling female, her nose stuck in a notebook, wanders by, almost bumping into you as she heads toward the building.  She absentmindedly knocks on the sign (for luck?), as she enters the doorway, still concentrating on her notes.</description>

The splintered branches have been carefully trimmed and stacked, drying for use in the winter's fires.  Several cottages stand nearby, their neatly cropped lawns and tended gardens evidence of industry on the part of their owners.</description>

    <description>Gnawed and broken bones litter the cavern's entrance, some so old they shatter at a touch, others so new that they still have bits of meat rotting on them.  Set into the deep dirt floor are a number of depressions covered with coarse hair that appear to be sleeping spots for the denizens of this spacious cave.  A deep musky odor pervades the space, further testimony to the bestial nature of the inhabitants.</description>

    <description>Sloping downwards towards the back of the cave, the rocky ceiling merges with the slate floor and cuts off all further progress underground.  Dirt has drifted into the crevices and corners, adding to the cramped feeling at the edges of the cavern.  There are fewer signs of the inhabitants here, perhaps because they find it more cramped than the entrance.</description>

    <description>Cupped within the hills, this small glade is strewn with boulders and rocks amongst the swaying grasses of the dell's floor.  Towering trees rim the area, enclosing it within the forest's welcoming embrace.</description>

    <description>Bending in the slightest breeze, some cattails mark a small declivity that gathers moisture from the surrounding hillsides.  Birds flit from the forest's edge to the puddle, their cries filling the daytime sky with song and noise.</description>

    <description>Swaying grasses fill the space between the trees, hiding any movement of small animals near the ground.  A few boulders peek above the vegetation, their glossy black surfaces gleaming in any available light.</description>

    <description>Standing alone in the swaying grasses, a giant oak tree spreads its limbs widely in the glade.  An interloper from the surrounding forested hillsides, the sprawling branches provide ample space for nesting birds.</description>
