@Professor Wyvern: Pretty much the same review as Parser's. What information can he garner from talking to inanimate objects? Elaborate on how his life choice of exile has affected his position in the village, and describe the hut in detail. 

And a question for the both of you: the purpose of the points of interest is to add life and atmosphere to the village. Are the still and the woodcarving hut so significant that they can accomplish this? If so, write about the relationship to the village.
