You are getting really close to the temple of Ithrilis now.  The forest
around you has broken into a clearing where a large pond resides.  The pond
has a mystical aura to it that gives it an eerie feel because the large stone
temple to Ithrilis is literally inside of the bogs.  The structure of the
temple looks very simple with only a few walls protecting the water from
seeping into the rooms.  After looking at the building for a while you are
very interested as to how the priests keep the pond from invading their
temple.  Of course Ithrilis being of water, perhaps that wasn't a goal when
the temple was being built.
