The muddy ground is a mosaic of footprints of all shapes and sizes.  The
area has been tramped so extensively that grass doesn't grow here.  Muddy
paths lead off in every direction to small stands in which merchants peddle
their items.  Colorful banners hang from the stands to attract customers.  A
thick path leads north out of the clearing.  
A well-dressed woman walks the path, looking at merchandise.
    You sense a hidden life form in the area.
