strong wind stirs up the snow around you, making it difficult to see. The snow

you see a small stream cutting its way. Beyond the stream, you see a very
small temple on a hill. To the north, you see a large, fortress-like structure
rising from the cliff-tops. The valley is adorned with trees, many of which
still retain some autumn colors. Way off in the eastern horizon your keen eye
spies a tower on a ledge, and some buildings to the south of it. There are

Basement^
The basement is full of papers, now rotting, food, now rotting, and castle
furniture, now rotting. The rock walls are slightly damp to the touch and the
packed dirt of the floor is rather muddy now. Some rusting braces in the
walls were once used for torches, which are now gone. A tunnel slopes sharply
downwards into a room below, while stairs will take you back to the kitchen
above.

Odiferous Passage^
The room smells. Very bad. It seems this passage leads to the castle's
primitive waste disposal system. Upwards will return you to the slightly
less aromatic basement. The sound of running water can be heard below.

In the Sewer^
You are in the castle's sewer. The smell erases any doubt of that fact
from your mind. Water, about ankle deep, runs past your feet into the moat
below. The walls are covered in a strange blue slime.

In the Moat^
You are in the castle's moat. Steep walls rise up around you. Water runs
out of a hole in the wall above you, and continues down through the grass into
the valley below.

The Overlook Lobby^
From here the dining room can be seen, filling with only the most
distinguished adventurers. The Overlook Restaurant boasts of it's high
standards. Only the wealthiest players can afford to eat here. Waiters
busily scuttle around, filling the orders of the patrons within. A
walnut podium stands discreetly before the entrance to the main dining
area, blocking your view and your passage.

The Overlook^
Silk draperies and soft music mark this room. The muted conversations
of other patrons can be heard, discussing the days arduous adventures. A
tuxedo-clad host leads you to your table. As you sit down, you notice a
few of the other patrons glancing at you respectfully. It appears your
name has spread further than even you had suspected.
