Mercurious stands guard

at the cross-roads of Chance.

Offer him a token

of thanks and respect.

He is the god

of travelers like yourself:

confronted with important choices.

Seek the right road

through this haunted crossing

and ask for the protection

of Mercurious.

It is said

he has some influence

with Destiny.
