A Small Crossroads
[Exits: north east south west]
At this point, you find yourself at a crossroads, as paths lead off in all
the cardinal directions.  You quickly look at the paths with your trained
woodsman's eye and note that the paths leading to the north, east, and west
all are marked with the footprints of humans and demihumans.  However, the
path to the south, while very wide, lacks any such signs.  It seems that
something larger has passed down that trail, or so you surmise as you note
the many trees along the sides of the trail that have been snapped near
their bases as if they were mere twigs.  The only other notable thing here
is a wooden post upon which have been mounted a number of signs.

Near the Ocean
[Exits: east west]
There is no question in your mind that you are near the ocean, as the
tang of the salt air is unmistakable.  Breathing it in deeply, you decide
it would probably be preferable to the stench of the jungle.  Shaking your
head in indecision, you try to ascertain whether it would be better to head
west into the depths of the Jungle of Quiesta or instead to go east and to
stand on the shores of the majestic ocean.

On the Shores of the Adreyatic
[Exits: east west]
You are on a small beach in a cove just off a huge ocean.  The cries
of seagulls are all around you and the salty air that you breathe in
is somehow invigorating.  Looking around, you realize that travel to
the north and south is impossible due to high rock formations that even
extend out into the water a ways, creating this little cove.  Apparently,
you can just travel in two directions -- east into the ocean or west down
a small trail.  Just as you prepare to move on, you notice a pair of
weatherbeaten signs by the start of the trail.

On the High Seas
[Exits: north east south west]
You are sailing on the mighty Adreyatic Ocean.  The ocean stretches 
outward in almost every direction.  To the west is a small cove where 
a ship could make port if need be.  The air smells of land even here.

You are adrift on the Adreyatic Ocean.  However, land suddenly appears just
to the west!  It appears that the land is covered with jungle vegetation,
and you cannot land here.  However, you do see a small cove to the south 
and a fishing village to the north.
