You are standing at the entrance of the Rune Castle Courtyard.  To the
north is a large open area, the courtyard proper.  People bustle about,
visiting the tavern, buying their groceries, or just out for a stroll. 
Everywhere you look there are people, and they all seem to be doing
something.  The Castle itself is still further ahead.  A small path breaks
off to the east.
