 The Wandering Soul 
  You are standing in the bar.  The bar is set against the northern wall, old
archaic writing, carvings and symbols cover its top.  A fireplace is built into
the western wall, and through the southeastern windows you can see the temple
square.  This place makes you feel like home.
A small sign with big letters is fastened to the bar.

[Exits: west]
      A neon-lit juke box sits in the corner of the bar.
A bartender watches you calmly, while he skillfully mixes a drink.
