You find yourself walking along a dark narrow path. Creepy sounds and echoes ring from your surroundings and you notice that much of the plant life is either dead or dying. You notice the sound of water up ahead and it rouses your curiosity.
As you continue along the path it grows a bit wider and you can see the faint sign of a shoreline up ahead. You hear the crash of waves and smell a tinge of salt in the air.
You approach what appears to be a rocky shoreline of black onyx stone. As you peer out you notice that the great body of water you have stumbled onto is scarlet red with many small islands in the distance. To the far north you spot what seems to be an unusually large and frightful shadow that stands out among the rest.
You forge out into the crimson red seas and notice that it is unusually calm. You can see the many islands to the north and the multitude of creatures bobbing in and out of the water.
The scarlet waters shimmer as you glide through. You can hear the gentle sounds of lapping waves from all directions and the air is filled with a salty aroma. You spy various islands in all directions and spot an unusually large one to the north.
The scarlet waters suddenly start swirling and getting rougher. The slight wind has turned into a strong gust and the waves are getting higher. Jagged rocks and coral reefs surround you as you see a large rocky path leading up from the shore to the north.

Continuing along the path you stumble upon a huge fortress made of black mortar and emblazoned with crimson flags blowing in the wind on each corner post. You notice a large iron gate and can hear bustling activity coming from inside.
You see before you a large decorated hall with many ancient red drapes hanging from the ceilings. Many paintings of ancient times past cover the black stone walls. A large ornate rug lies at your feet and you can hear idle chatter from exits nearby.

You walk down a long dark hallway barely lit by small torches. You can hear strange sounds from all directions and the place smells like mildew. You try to step quietly, because you never know who you might run into that doesn't want you here.
You continue along the small dimly lit hallway and notice three different doorways leading in many directions. The rooms are too dark to make out anything from where you are standing but your curiosity will probably get the best of you.
As you continue along the hall you notice a few other wooden doors leading in different directions. The walls are damp and the floor is slightly wet. Water is dripping from the ceiling and you wonder just who could live in this dank end of the fortress.
As you peer around you sense that this small shrine is very peaceful and quiet. You see a small table in the middle of the room sitting beside a small stack of hay in the corner. Many fine silk robes hang from the walls, and a small candle burns on the table. The chap who lives here must enjoy the simple things life has to offer.
As you arrive from the druid abode you can't help but notice the many fine silver weapons and armor hung from the wall. Many tomes of the healing arts lie stacked upon a small wooden table and several holy symbols lie in an open treasure box. A large brass bed lies by the wall looking very inviting. You wonder just what kind of peaceful brute could occupy a space like this.

Huge bear skins and others lie scattered on the floor and a chunk of venison lies cooking over an open fire near the huge brick chimney. Large spears and other weapons lean in a corner and huge piles of leather clothing lie in a pile near the large straw bed. Looks like you don't want to be caught in here when this large person shows up.

There is an evil presence in here that sends a shiver right up your spine.

As you enter this huge hallway you notice the stained glass windows covering the ceiling. There are large black velvet curtains draping down the side of the walls and many pieces of antique furniture line the carpeted path. There are the oriental rugs and there is the smell of roses in the air.
As you continue along the hallway you notice many torches lighting your way and huge drapes covering the midnight black walls. The floor seems cold and damp and you feel a slight breeze but you cannot tell where it is coming from. You hear laughter and commotion in the distance.
As you walk through the entrance you come out into a large square with many people doing business at their little shops and gossiping on park benches. It is a bright sunny day out and the wind is blowing in on you. You can spot many fruit stands in the distance and even a tailor shop in the corner. To the east you spy a large room that sparks your curiosity.
You find yourself walking down a very dark damp corridor. There is slime on the walls and the floor is quite slippery. You can see bones scattered about and hear a low grumbling coming from the west.
As you step into this small cramped room you notice a large bed by the wall and a huge rack of weapons hanging over it. You see fine suits of armor lying about and a large bear skin rug lying on the floor bearing its fangs. The chap that must have killed that doesn't look like the type you would want to mess with.
You continue along the elaborate hallway to see many fine velvet curtains hanging on both sides of you. Huge crystal chandeliers hang from an arched ceiling and beautiful stained glass windows cast a colorful aura inside the hallway. To your west you can see a faint light and hear low murmuring sounds. The lavish hall continues ahead as far as you can see.
You stumble into a small dimly lit room. It is very hot in here and piles of bones lie scattered about. You can hear the heavy breathing of an animal and wonder what you have stumbled into...

You see many decks of cards and dice lying near the nightstand and wonder if the mysterious fellow is a gambler...who knows...he could be a killer!
You reach the end of the glorious hallway only to see huge violet curtains blocking your way to the north. You can hear talking close to you and are curious to see who it may be. Many statues of mighty warriors line the walls and you can see passersby scurrying back and forth down the hall to the south.
As you step into this room you are awed by its decor. Gold and silver emblazon a huge throne sitting in the center of the room and scarlet banners hang from the ceiling. You can see a huge chest in the corner of the room and realize that this must be the king's chambers. The King looks aggravated that you are here and motions for his guards to arrest you.
You enter a small cramped room with books piled about everywhere. Many large candles line the tables burning brightly and numerous scrolls and quills rest on a nearby shelf. You notice a small bed in the corner and a large oak nightstand beside it. The person who lives here obviously has no knack for cleaning as you blow dust off your hat from the cobwebs in the doorway as you entered.
You step inside this richly decorated room and know from the sight that whoever lives here must be royalty. The carpet is of the finest velour and the curtains are of black silk. A golden plated mirror hangs from the wall and a very comfortable looking bed stretches from one end of the room to the other. You are careful not to touch anything as you pass through and look around.
You step into a large room with many windows and furniture pieces. You notice a large oak table that spreads about half the length of the room with about ten chairs on each side. This looks like a place where the citizens of Villain castle plot their evil doings and hold their elections. You wonder if you should speak your mind to this merry group.
As you enter this ritzy establishment you see the finest red felt billiard tables lined up against the wall and a wild black and white checkered dance floor. You can see a huge oak bar and a stocked cabinet of the finest spirits available.
