Desc = ^
As you enter this room, you can't help but notice the large coat of arms
placed in one corner of the room. A few statues and a suit of armor are placed
around the room as a form of decoration. The ceiling is adorned with a paint-
ing of the heavens opening, and an outpouring of cherubim and seraphim adorn
the edges. The trim of the room is a prime example of baroque architecture.
To the north you notice a small side yard through a doorway, while the
eastern exit opens out into a courtyard. An antechamber is through a doorway
to the south, and to the west you notice a large, empty hall.

You find yourself in a small anteroom of the castle. The room is now bare,
but looks like it was once comfortably furnished. Some cobwebs have been
spun by spiders past, and now collect dust in the corners. To the north you
see the main entrance to the castle, to the west is the library. A small
hole has been made in one wall.

Many beakers, flasks and retorts make the purpose of this room clear. Along

of different liquids, some purple, some green, and many other colors. A wooden
stool sits next to the table, apparently for the person who worked in the lab.
A draft blows in from the tower base to the north.

This is apparently the tower of the wizard Parsifal. As you think back, you
recall hearing of the greatness of Parsifal in a Bard's tale long ago. Once
the Hohenzollern family was well-respected, but seemed to have run into
problems with a dragon that Parsifal had tried to tame. Nothing had been heard
from the family since, and no one ever successfully returned from their castle.
A small bed is in one corner of the room, and a table in the other. The
table is covered with old books and sheets of parchment. A chair has been
overturned in the center of the room.

Water drips from the ceiling and runs along miniscule cracks in the walls.
A thin layer of mud on the floor coats about an inch of your boots, and makes

this hall allow a great amount of light into the room. Stuffed animal heads,
like lions and tigers and bears (Oh my!), are hung periodically along the wall.
The ceiling is painted with murals depicting the hunts where the various
trophies were acquired. To the east is the main entrance of the castle, and
to the south is a trophy room. A large table in the room to the west brings
you to the conclusion that it's a dining room.

A gust of wind blows you forward, toward the edge of the cliff, but

hard rocky surface. The winds here gust so much, even with a way to fly down
jumping would be crazy. Small paths wind their way through the valley below,
walked quite a lot from the looks of it. Following one heading east, a
small temple has been contructed on a mound and there is a tower someways
