The archaic temple is dark and gloomy, yet, apparently not abandoned. This
realization becomes an even more solid reality as your ears detect the faint
sound of footfalls from somewhere down the shadowy hallway, and you can
barely make out the outline of a petite figure some distance away. As this
figure draws nearer, the shadows part slightly, and the form of a slender,
pale-skinned woman emerges, greeting you.

"Hello traveler," she smiles. "We get so few visitors here these days,
please, come make yourself at home while you stay here. You are free
to wander as you please."
She pauses for a moment, then removes a book form a nearby shelf. "Oh, one
more thing," she looks at you, holding the dusty old tome to you. "Please,
if it's not too much trouble, could you sign in before I forget to ask you?
Also, any recent renovations to this place are documented within these pages."
She places the book on a pedestal, then hands you a quill. She then steps
back a few paces, awaiting your response.
