 
 _setting_name The Dancing Stoat, Town 
 _setting_desc The Dancing Stoat is a cheerful little pub characterized by its unusually brightly-lot interior and uncommonly well-equipped kitchen. The rooms upstairs are nothing special, but the main hall is filled with delicious smells at all hours of the day and night. The Dancing Stoat's exterior is plain save for a sign showing a brown-furred stoat gamboling in a field. The chairs are unusually comfortable and well-made, and large windows and plentiful torches ensure that the space feels brighter and cheerier than a typical pub.

 _self_persona I play the lute.  I admire beauty of young maidens.  I enjoy the taste of mead. 
 _object_desc a window : This window is made of imperfect glass panes, full of bubbles and ripples.  It is difficult to make out what lies on the other side of it, although it does look to let in a fair amount of light. 
 _object_desc a torch : The torch has a long handle, and looks like it will give off an impressively large flame when lit. 
 _object_desc a chair : The castle chairs were large and ornate, perfect for a king. 
 _object_desc a mug : The mug is made of thick glass, and there are a few chips in the rim. 
 _object_desc a bar counter : Although sturdy, the bar counter is sticky from generations of usage and spillage.  This counter is scarred and has its own story to relay to anyone drunk enough to hear. 
 _object_desc a well-equipped kitchen : The kitchen has all of the latest gadgets, perfect for the aspiring family chef.
