<description>Leaves littering the surface of the damp road await their final fate: being slowly ground into the mud, then decaying into the earth to create another layer of rich, dark loam. Sloping downward to the southwest, this section of road is a long, gentle bend following a curve from the northwest.</description>

<description>Light filtering through the branches casts a hazy, warm glow to all it touches, from the snake-like moss roped around the trees to the new shoots of vegetation pushing up through the moist soil at the edge of the road. Staggered puddles of water fill the deep wheel gashes slashed into the trail. As each wagon passes, the puddle configuration changes, as the waters mingle and advance down slope toward the marshland.</description>
<description>The wind filtering through the branches sings a soft evening lullaby, accompanied by the creak of limbs and gentle percussion of the snake-like moss thumping the trees. Staggered puddles of water fill the deep wheel gashes slashed into the trail. As each wagon passes, the puddle configuration changes, and the waters mingle and advance down slope toward the marshland.</description>

<description>Thick planks of wood are layered lengthwise across the path at uneven intervals in an attempt to make the marsh passable. Even with the lumber supports, the deep muck reaches halfway to the hub of a wagon wheel. Swarms of invisible insects bite the exposed flesh of person and beast alike -- and more than one traveler has emerged from the marsh with a new, parasitic companion.</description>

<description>Mud and water make sucking sounds against the lumber supports as the weight of vehicles and pedestrians presses down hard upon the sludge-soaked road. Water pools among the reeds and fronds of grass. A wagon has been shoved into the marsh, and from its decayed appearance, the wagon has been there a very long time. Southward, the marsh gives way to a small section of fields.</description>

<description>The dark soil is damper to the north where the road emerges from the marsh than it is to the south. The dryer earth has been cultivated with cotton -- in the spring the delicate plants push through the dirt, the early summer brings rich full-bodied plants heavy with pink blossoms and the late summer foreshadows winter as the boles of cotton burst open to give the appearance of a heavy snowfall held aloft by dark, leggy stalks.</description>

"Thick Beer!" and "Souvenirs!" A picnic table and benches offer a respite from the rigors of life's journeys. For those who can resist Carleen's blandishments, the road curves westward toward a large meadow.</description>

<description>Stretching in a general east to west line, the road follows the topography of the gently rolling meadowland, at one point following a wide stream, at another veering across an expanse of grass, colorful flowers and mushroom rings.</description>

<description>Forest and meadow meet at the easternmost curve of the dirt road. As the eye follows the transition of woods melting into meadow -- or meadow rising to become woods -- the trees begin to dwarf and the shrubs become giant, giving the impression there is no sheer demarcation, but a gradual, subtle transformation. At the eastern most part of the path, where the meadow begins, several colonies of pale puffball mushrooms dot the side of the road, growing peacefully beneath the cover of overgrown weeds.</description>

<description>Moss, shrubs, vines and trees are an overwhelming presence of unrelieved green. The pearlescent droplets of moisture that cling to the tree trunks and leaves have taken on the green hue of their host. Even the pathway underfoot, carpeted by a squishy lichen, is an unexpected green-brown.</description>

<description>Considerably drier than the lower lying points of the forest, the dirt road threading this section of land is firm and the ruts are less noticeable. The air has a fragrant tang from the pines and firs growing in profusion, and seasons of fallen leaves coating the path muffle the sounds of travel. Northeast, the ground seems to slope slightly upward.</description>

<description>Dodging the trees and thorny bushes, the muddy path swings from the west to a northeasterly course. A moldy green film coats the tree trunks and clings to the rock surfaces. As the road bends further into the forest, the earth looks drier and the wheel gashes left in the soil have a crusted appearance.</description>

<description>Leaves and debris fallen from the trees have done little to soak up the moisture from the soft, damp earth that composes the road. Heavily rutted, large puddles of muck fill the deep tracks sliced into the trail by passing wagons. A narrow ditch runs parallel to the path, but the water that drains into it is not enough to dry its surface.</description>

<description>Halfway between the residential part of the village to the northeast and the merchant piers to the southwest, the waters of the harbor are cool and dark, clouded with silt carried in from the river. The silt settles as the current slows, and is then dredged from the bottom to keep the channels clear for larger ships, providing rich soil for the container gardens popular with local residents.</description>
