You are in a forest on a path. The path proceeds to the north, south, and west. The underbrush to the east is impassable. To the north, you see more trees. There is a field with a small cottage to the west.
There is a wise, old man here. You know he is wise because of the owl that is perched on his shoulder.
The man says, "Hello. I'll follow you as long as you're on this path."
He also says, "Once you've blazed the trail to find q, you'll have to find p. p is hard to find without q."
