You are walking along a narrow road that has been paved with smooth white
rock.  The stones do not look worn, indicating that there is not much
traffic going this way.  A dark shadow is cast over you by the many oak
trees that line the path, and you shiver involuntarily.  The road continues
to the north and south.  
You see a snake slithering through the grass alongside the path.
