        <p>The room is smallish, and is painted a fairly peaceful blue, but not the sort of blue you would want to paint your living room. The furniture is old, dusty, and in a Victorian style, with fringe hanging and elegant tapestry type fabric. The room is comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold. The floor is hardwood, with a large oriental rug covering it almost to the walls. The walls are bare.</p>

        <p>The trees are deciduous, and while I don't know my trees, they are probably maple. I see some pine as well. This is an old forest, with little undergrowth, and the trees tower above. It must be a bright day, as I can see fairly well, but it could grow dark very easily.</p>

        <p>The path is wide and somewhat indistinct. It seems well travelled, but here and there trees have fallen across it. In places, the earth is hard-packed, as if many many people have travelled here, and I see occasional boot prints. In other spots the trail seems to split off in many directions, or simply isn't there.</p>

        <p>It is a flowing river. It's bigger than a stream, but not so large as to make crossing impossible. The water is cold and clear. I think I see fish here and there. There is no evidence of humans anywhere.</p>

        <p>The vessel looks something like Aladdin's lamp, but it seems to be made of wood or some kind of gourd. It is a very light tan color, and looks like it would hold a couple of cups of liquid.</p>

        <p>It's a small, old fashioned key, with a very elegantly molded handle. It was nicely made, but is dirty and a little bit corroded now. It seems too small to be a door key, but perhaps too large for a jewelry box. It may be for a desk or dresser.</p>
