When play begins:

Tiredly you pull yourself out of the makeshift hammock you made for yourself last night and survey your surroundings."

Jungle is southeast of Temple's Gate. "[if the jungle is unvisited]Tiredly you glance around trying to keep your eyes open. It is incredibly humid and you smell like a sweaty monkey.
