She smiles. "Very well. First let me tell you that you'll need to go to the castle for the best information. I can only hope to point you in the right direction."
She clears her throat. "The Wood is a complex place. Before you go down the Lead Path, you'll have to visit Embrod and Andomo. Even those who have been to the Wood before it changed should visit these two places, as they will tell the visitor more than anyone could imagine."
"At it's first conception, the Wood was a purely magical place. The links within it made no sense, and there were many wanderors who were lost among the various places. For this reason, the Wood has changed. It is now mapable. And there is indeed a map of the Wood."
Your eyes grow wide. "Do you have it?" you ask.
Issneng laughs. "No, of course not. That is also at the castle. You'll have to go there for that." She pauses before saying, "There is also a directory with every resident of the Wood listed on it. That is, however, a very large secret, and it is kept on the Split Path."
She winks. "I also should tell you that the Wood has a grave secret, hidden here in Cattinonia. You should be able to find this; just visit everywhere. It is a vital link on your quest. Once, I helped to hide this. But I know better now. Please, wanderor, help us all."
"That wasn't very helpful, and I am sure you're frustrated. There is an evil wizard on the loose and the prince and princess...well, there is a problem with them too. Go to the castle, now!"
