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.
Ridley/Porky
Then there were few. You both open your eyes a little earlier than the others, but for a very good reason, you see, your both in pain, and you don't know why. All you can do is look around and you see you are both strapped in rusty metal cufflinks , Ridley is attached to an upright table leaned against a cold brick wall with his wings, ankles, and arms latched by that gritty metal, he is bleeding from his chest as if he was cut open with a clean line of blood going down to his torso starting from the end of his neck. He can struggle all he can, but he is encumbered by such a torture device. Even his big cranium is latched against the wall binded to it. If he looked below him he would see bloody foot prints, they appear to be of a boot imprint leading to a door across from him. The door is closed and most likely locked shut, on the door is a window lined with metal bars, it cannot be seen out of because of a nasty smudge on it. If Ridley popped out his big eyes to widen his perspective of the room, he would see that it is very dark, only two torches line the walls to the right and left, and even then their flames are dying out.
There is a large wooden table in the middle of the room layered with sharp tools and pointy utensils, they are covered in blood. It is obvious what they were used for isn't it? But what stood out the most was a glowing circular mechanism emitting a black and purple light, say, hasn't there been an enemy in the past that had such a strange item? What was it called again? A Starvia something or other...you'll figure it out I'm sure, one of you will. Porky on the other hand was tied up himself on a cast iron table flat and steady just like any normal table, and not upright against a wall like Ridley. He was to the left of Ridley tucked away in a corner, a miniature wooden crate piled with empty syringes and blood soaked rags lay beside him. A bucket of water and a mop are directly behind him. He too, is latched up by his wrists and legs from rusty metal cuffs. His head is also binded to his table by a latch making it extremely difficult to move. His right cheek is split open with blood dripping down from it and leaking into a small oval dish under the table he is trapped on. He can see a hallway ahead of him riddled with prison cells and metal gates. He can see a light at the end of the hall and hear footsteps, but he can also hear moaning from a distance. His vision is blurry and his bangs are in his way so he can't see much beyond the ends of his cuffed feet.
This is quite the predicament isn't it? Oh well, you evil doers are smart, you can figure something out.....hopefully.
