You are in a wooded area near the village of Lasler.  Although it is
rather difficult to see from here, there are snow covered mountains
surrounding the area.  You can hear small animals moving about in the
undergrowth.  If you pay attention, perhaps you will see some of them.  You
can hear a loud roaring sound, as of water, from the east.  
A mongrel dog is growling at you.
A thick swarm of insects buzzes around here.
