You are walking down a woodland path that leads to the towne center in
the north.  The trail here is very wide and can accommodate heavy wagon
traffic.  The forest outside the trail is not as towering as in other parts
of the town.  Clearings can be seen through the trees at regular intervals. 
This place must look breathtaking in the fall.  
A gnome tout is here soliciting passersby.
'Hello Numi, are you lost?' a gnome tout asks. 'If so, I might be able to help you out, for a small fee of 50 gold pieces.'
