You are standing in another section of the courtyard proper.  Here, much
like the rest of the proper, is filled with people.  Vendors of food, wine,
and other specialities are all around.  The ground beneath you is rather
worn from all the trotting of horses pulling carts by, and people wandering
here and there.  The Courtyard Fountain is to your east.
