Trail to the Inn 
  A large trail winds off the main road. Short green trees filled with bright
red cherries line both sides.  A small building lies just to the south with
several people standing outside of it.  Looking further south a large
wooden building stands atop a small hill.  From its roof a brick chimney
pipes forth smoke that seems to dance its way into the sky.  The trail
leads south to the inn or north to the main road.  Barely visible, a smaller
path winds its way east into a small clearing.  A wooden sign, painted
with bright colors sits under the nearest tree.

travelers move in a general procession to the east.  Most travelers along

litter the countryside, providing shade for a moment's rest.  Shadows dance

  A sturdy wooden building, little more than an outhouse, sits near the
trail. A colorful stream of banners line its roof. The cherry trees seem
more barren here and small piles of spit seeds lie about the post as the
guards pass their time endlessly munching.  A tall fence begins behind
the post just past the trees lining the trail on both sides and follows it up
to the inn.  Anyone trying to sneak past the guards could be easily heard
and felt as they jumped the fence.  Music and singing filters down from
the inn in faint whispers.  The trail leads north and up a short slope south
towards the inn.

East Sumner's Road 
  The area is quite dry and musty, dust kicking up along the road as
travelers move in a general procession to the east.  Most travelers along
the road are peasants and farmers, and even those are few.  The grass grows
short along the road, a pale shade of brown.  Far-scattered thickets of trees
litter the countryside, providing shade for a moment's rest.  Shadows dance
across the road, the passing clouds moving off to the northwest.  You notice
some dark woods about a mile off the road to the south.  The old East Sumner's
Road extends in both directions, to the east and to the west.
 
[Exits: east west]
You flee from combat!
