North of House
You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here, and all the windows are boarded up. To the north a narrow path winds through the trees.

Forest Path
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path.

Up a Tree
You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is above your reach.

On the ground below you can see:
BIRD’S NEST
JEWEL-ENCRUSTED EGG

Running in a VM. On top of a hypervisor.

That's how that usually works, yeah.
