You open the out door.
    Upon entering the building, a smell of death hits you like a wall.
By its structure and delicate craftsmanship, you draw the conclusion that
it must have been built by elven woodsmen.  A fireplace fills out one of
the corners, and an empty shelf is hanging next to it.  Surrounding a
well-carved table stands a few chairs and a comfortable sofa.  Flickering
light emits from a candle placed in the middle of the table.  There's a
large wooden chest with its lid leaning against the side of the chest.
A massive wooden door leads to the bedroom.
The bedroom door is open.
The out door is closed.
    The only obvious exits are bedroom and out.
 A gleaming red key
 A large wooden chest
 A fireplace
You close the bedroom door.

You relax from your efforts to fade into the background, and are

    This room has the smell of death all over it.  There's a cozy
normal-sized bed to the right.  The thing that makes the bed not so
cozy is that the bedclothes are all messed up and covered in blood.
Next to the bed a bedside table of wood has been placed.  There's a
tablecloth on the table and a lit candle.  In the middle of the room,
