> Entrance to City

     You stumble along the path,and find yourself near an old gatehouse,
perhaps of some long-forgotten city. You can see no signs of life from within.
The gate itself is a small but impressive structure, built in a gothic style,
with two tall square towers connected by an arched bridge. The portcullis
rusted through long ago, and you can pass into the gatehouse quite easily. A
single guardian, a fearsome statue of a hidden beast, looms over you from the
center of the gatehouse's bridge, its fangs glistening eerily.
