The heavy wind boomed and howled across the mountain top. The castle was being drilled by such harsh air but yet, remains firm in foundation and unyielding in its towering perspective. Whomever built this castle so long ago was vicariously smart in their construct upon its appearance on the planet Li. It appears the castle has been fixed, renovated, and tended to regularly since its collision with the planet, with its current state, it was more of a full fledged working fortress than ruin unlike the other areas on Li. It is safe to say there are residents inside, but how many or of what nature is unknown until further inspection. An even bigger mystery, however, was how the residents found a way in. But thankfully, with the coordinates and the maps each one of the adventurers on this mission has been given, an alternate route underground that goes straight into the castle quarters has been discovered to follow avoiding the wind and preventing those seeking the castle's treasures from besting the treacherous mountain terrain and long trails. Ah, so that's how they did it!
You all follow eachother into a single file line with your heads in your maps until you stumble upon a tunnel going downwards etched into the side of a snowy hill. Some of you are already deciding who amongst you is untrustworthy, some of you are speculating, some of you are being friendly, others are choosing to be silent and lonely....this was fate. The lot of you make up a large number of specimens to enter the castle corridors as you all continue through the tunnel feeling the warmth of the torches lining this hidden passageway and embracing the shelter of the wind and uncanny weather conditions. There are picture frames lining the brick-by-brick tunnel walls, but they have no pictures in them. They are all empty, some are broken, some are crooked, it was an odd sight to see, the owner(s) of such a place must have admired some strange art. You all continue along the tunnel many in which of you appear curious, others in which look bitter and annoyed.
As you walk on, however, you all start to get dizzy, you feel as if the tunnel is never ending, as if the same picture frame has shown itself before many times and you can't fight the woozy feeling. Suddenly, one by one all of you start to vanish. Some of you fall through trap doors while others of you are snatched up by something foul and sent away. This pattern continues happening until all of you go missing and black out from the shock. After some time being out cold, you slowly open your eyes, and you find yourself suddenly in a particular area of the castle. Thus, the fun begins.

There's a small draft coming from the windows of the room each of you are in. All of you are laying down in separate beds in the same large wooden floored room as if you are within a slumber. The beds are neatly made up with evergreen sheets, albeit a bit dusty, but they are not harming your bodies in any way. Theres a scratching at a window in the room, a small window to the left most part of the room, could be from anything really, it wasn't an entirely loud sound, but it could wake someone up from the repetitive nuisance of a noise. Aside from that, if you opened your eyes and scanned the area there would be various chests at the foot of your beds, some locked, some not, who knows really, their there. Continuing your surveying, you'd see night stands at every bed with various books, some of the stands there would be a lamp turned on next to your beds, others the lamp would be off and filled with dust and dirt as if not turned on for centuries. There are cobwebs all over the place within the nooks of the room, some in which are actually inhabited by sizable spiders.
If you got up and walked around to the ends of the room you'd see an entrance to a bathroom that is old and smells rather disgustingly of rotten eggs and cheese. The toilet, shower, and mirror are filthy with dirt and grime, the mirror is cracked severely but there is a cabinet on the wall of the bathroom, something useful might be inside, then again, maybe nothing at all. Nearly everything around you is made of wood and brick, very old fashioned style. This place could use a plumber, no pun intended. Just to the left of the bathroom is an open door to a long hallway lit with torches that appear to house more rooms and living arrangements, it would take quite some time to inspect all the rooms, but nonetheless, it may prove worth it. The floor of the hallway is again made of wood, only one large convex window at the end bringing little light made of rainbow colored stained glass and the flames from the torch decor aiding in the illumination. If you listen carefully, my, are those....footsteps from afar? Could be just imagination though. Or is it? DUN DUN DUN!
The choices to be made here are many and in between. Your eyes are fully open now, you feel rested, as if you took a long nap. You do remember you are in this castle for a reason, but you don't quite fully grasp why yet, you just have a hunch you have to be here, but do not know how or the true meaning of your presence. Investigating instincts kick in within you, but, will you and your roomies work well together? Maybe you're more of a lone wolf kinda person. Guess you'll find out.
