This is a rather dark and chilly alleyway between two buildings. 
Overturned garbage cans and debris are strewn across the cobblestones.  The
smell of rotting trash, spilled ale, and vomit permeates the area, almost
making you throw up as well.  Main Street is to the north, and you can see
Yew Court to the south.  
A filthy beggar wanders aimlessly here.
A scarred mercenary offers his sword for pay here.
A singing, happy drunk is wandering around here.
