You stand before the western gate of the legendary city Vospire.  In the
distance the great Mount Vesuvius looms over the city.  Taking a glance in
all directions you see the elaborately decorated buildings and roads of the
city.  Many wealthy people live here without worrying about the active
volcano that towers nearby.  After being destroyed in the first century, the
city has been beautifully reconstructed.
   A new sign sticks out of the ground here, demanding your attention.
