You are heading along a worn path that seems as if it handles very heavy
traffic.  You hear almost no noise around you at all, as if suddenly
everything became very quiet.  The path continues towards a large hedge
which you see off to the north.  Perhaps you should go over there and
investigate where you really have ended up.
