The Symbol of Need begins to burn in your mind and an image appears before you of Morgatha...

[Town Square, Southwest]
This corner of the square seems somewhat subdued. Townsfolk pass through on their way to the shops, the bazaar, or the main well at the center of the square. Others hurry past, anxious to get home or go on about their business. You also see a wood-sided shop and a cobblestone walkway leading up to a wrought-iron gate.
Also here: Great Lord Virdigo, High Lady Gracy, the body of Morgatha who is lying down, Traigon who is lying down
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east, south, west
>l
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a small tortoise, some ephlox moss, some basal moss, some pothinir grass, some basal moss, a polished marble bench with some stuff on it and a large fel tree.
Also here: Zenogais who is kneeling, Karlite, the body of Duf who is lying down
Obvious paths: west

[A Silent Path]
A chilling wind pursues the trail here causing several small plants to sway to and fro, caught in its unyielding grasp. To the east a flourishing garden unfolds from the edges of the rich forest. A stream of clear water flows out from the garden paralleling the path for some distance. Moonbeams dance and refract off of the windows and sides of a monastery, lending the solid edifice an air of ethereal mystery. Hushed sounds, like garbled voices, whisper upon the wind.
Obvious paths: east, west
>w
[A Silent Path]
The moon's light penetrates the foliage here and dimly reveals the cracked and rocklike path. The scattered silver beams dance across a small stream as it bubbles and turns northward being split into irrigation channels to be consumed by the monastery's fields. In the distance, monks wearing robes of pure white, labor in a field while a lone monk, adorned in a silver trimmed black robe, watches their toil from a balcony.
Obvious paths: east, west
>w
[A Silent Path]
Animated leaves skitter west on the wings of a light breeze, catching every so often on the small stones that protrude from the red clay surface of the path. Imprints, marring a soft section of the clay, provide evidence of recent passage. Traesharm bushes flourish along the fringe of the woods, though their bounty has already been harvested by the small woodland creatures that hastily scurry about. You also see a trail leading out of the forest to the west.
Obvious paths: east

[Wehnimer's, Exterior]
The smell of the sea is quite strong here and you can hear the sound of crashing waves to the north.

You also see a trail leading east into the woods.

[Wehnimer's, Exterior]
Thick brambles grow high upon the walls of this, the east, side of Wehnimer's Landing. Small pieces of cloth (and flesh) still cling to the sharp thorns of these bushes, left behind by those foolish enough to think that they could gain access to the walled town by climbing the prickly vines.

He appears to be in the prime of life and diminutive. He has bright greenish-grey eyes and sun-bronzed skin. He has thick, shoulder length russet hair tied back in a series of elaborate braids. He has a gaunt face, a freckled nose and a braided russet beard.
He has a coiled spring tattoo on his right hand.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a benevolent, grass-green onyx and veniom-hilted longsword splattered with the blood of gremlin-slayer-slayers in his right hand.
He is wearing a broad-brimmed dark straw hat, an ivory-handled stamp suspended from a thick leather cord, a crystal amulet suspended from a coiled spring neckchain, a soft black cloak, a silver and black silk shirt, a spring-clasped backpack, an ora-trimmed bracer, an eahnor band, some charcoal grey breeches, and some boots.

The turtle's eyepatch kinda reminds me of how I was watching an episode of "Flight of the Conchords" on HBO2 yesterday, and Bret, one of the main characters, decides to spiffy up his image by wearing an eyepatch after a series of reoccurring David Bowie dreams.

Speaking to a small tortoise, you exclaim, "CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

How could you have passed that up. 2 MARKS OUT OF 10, SIR.

Looks like roleplaying could use some re-revisitation.
