On a Path through some Woods
   The path cuts through the lower region of the Svalich woods.  A
mist snakes its way upon the ground of the dense forest which flanks the
trail.  A squirrel pops its head up out of the mist occassionly to collect
its bearings.  The sound of snapping branches, and the panting of some
creature originate from within the forest.  The sounds are only a few feet
away but yet the dense growth in these woods conceal their creators.  Though
the mist conceals much of what lay ahead, it is possible to note that
the trail seems to extend quite a ways.

   The gate is very impressive, standing some thirty feet high.  It is made
of an unknown black alloy.  The bars on the gate are etched with a foriegn
alphabet.  On occassion, a blue electricity pulses though the alloy like
blood through an artery.  Cobwebs hang from the dust-covered bars of this
massive barrier.  The dust and webs cast strange, moving shadows across
the faces of stone gargoyles squatting motionlessly on the pilars which
support the gate.  Beyond its black iron bars can be seen some sort
of glow.  There is a key hole on the gate.
