Slum Street
    This is a dirty, unkept street. The stone tiles are cracked in many places, showing rocky bits
of ground. To the east, the front of a black-painted wooden
house looms, its three stories making it look like an ebony finger jutting up
from the earth. Its heavy black door is reinforced with dark iron bands, and
set above the handle is a depression in the shape of a five-pointed star.
Also here: fierce hellhound.
Obvious exits: north, south, open door east
