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 foot soldier is hanging around here, with nothing important to do.
    You sense a hidden life form in the area.
A gnomish follower of Maradas busily runs past you.
A local townsman busily goes about his business.
    You sense a hidden life form in the area.
A traveling merchant journeys the roads.
