The Courtyard
The outer wall of the manor lines the courtyard to the south and west,
stretching its gray blocks above the white of the flagstone floor. The yard
continues to the north and east, where the manor proper lies. A few vines
have managed to climb over the wall from the outside, and are slowly making
their way down toward the ground.

With a sullen look on his face a young man goes about his duties.


Atop a Tower
The tower is open to the sky, with a tall, wide wall running about the circle.
A gap in the floor leads down a staircase to the interior of the manor. A
mosaic has been set into the floor, depicting a complicated geometric pattern.
A small map hangs on the wall here.

When most tasks / quests are done by say blah blah task blah blah quest, having the first -quest- they get shouldn't be done by syntax. He should respond to 'say quest' or something else.

The mini town bank could use some work.

[09:36] 34/39 15/49 > n
The Bank
The lobby of the bank separated from the inside by a thick wall. A window on
that wall looks into the main part of the bank and is guarded with iron bars.
Cold, hard rock makes up the floor, walls, and ceilings, giving it a very
impersonal look. A door to the south leads out to the main street.
