[Tigerlily Crossing]
Candlelight spills forth from the glaesine windows of each of the shops that are nestled into a single, long and low building built upon one side of the lane.  Awnings, neatly folded back and tied in place, form colorful arches over each shop's doorway, while artistic signs sway slightly in the night breeze.  Somehow, water has collected inside the glass case of a lantern, creating tiny luminescent ripples across the cobblestones below it.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west

>analyze room
You scan for exits and see a white birch door painted with a burgundy rose, a verdant green door painted with a cypress tree and a pale cerulean door painted with a pink blossom.
