L25 Lv 3Odin smiled wisely and bowed his great head. "I shall remove this curse bestowed upon you, my dear" he said calmly and with a flick of his horn and a flash of light Arwen could stand still. "You have something that will be of great use he noted." B9 geob 3
Q11 fanta 5As you back up you eventually hit a small sharp object. You turn around to find the small unicorn giggling behind you. She pokes you with her horn again and scampers off into a particularly dark hallway Q12 lectral 4
You've entered the Ballroom: it's an expansive room, gleaming from floor to ceiling with inlayed marble and extravagant chandeliers swung above your head; gilded pictures line the upper reaches, mostly pastoral scenes, and there's a raised platform set out with instruments ready to play. T19 sio 6
W9 mblansett 2You’ve found a lovely golden potion in an ornate chalice on a dias. Clearly this is a very important and powerful potion. You look around the table and find no skulls or crossbones, only ornate gold filigree. Well clearly this potion isn’t dangerous, just very fancy. Feeling curious and not threatened you take a gulp. “That may have been one of the silliest things I’ve ever done,” you say immediately after. You cover your mouth, you didn’t want to admit that! Against your will you keep talking, “The stupidest thing I’ve ever done…” the end of the sentence is muffled by you jamming your face into a nearby pillow before admitting one of your deeper secret. It’s a truth potion you realize with horror. Ans Ra must post one of her secrets before moving again! Next turn starts at 8:15PM

Looking around the ballroom, Irmuska eyes the platform of instruments with interest, before heading over to investigate it. (R15, hopefully XD)

Meng Jiang gave an undignified yelp as she was suddenly poked by some little giggling foal. Why all the nerve! In an attempt to perhaps find the little scoundrel, she made her way towards O7.

Pfft! What am I doing here? Being nosey, what else, Tristram said to himself. To the guard he simply said, "Just looking," and moved on.

"Oh thank you Odin!" Arwen sighed with relief as her feet finally stood still. Curious about his parting words, she eyed the key and the book she still had with her. "I shall keep that in mind, thank you once again!" she bowed slightly, before deciding which way to go. To the south before her was another room, and breathing deep she thought she could smell fresh air. Off to her right lay what looked liked more rooms. Nodding her head, and gratefully thanking Odin once more, she head off to explore more.
(I25 please!)

I25 Lv 5
You've entered the Main Library: it's the kind of library bibliophiles' dreams are made of - floor to ceiling shelves laden with leather-bound books and tomes, labled from A to Z on every subject imaginable! A few small tables and chair are placed around the room, lit with cosy orb-lights and the comfiest arm chair you've ever seen is just waiting for you to join it with a book B12 geob 3You’ve found a tightly wrapped scroll that is lovingly sealed with beautiful, finely crafted green wax seal. You break the seal gently and unravel the scroll. The script within is gorgeous and a work of art in itself. You begin the decipher the lovely script within, it reads: Hickory dickory dock, it’s time to stop the clock; to start it up again, simply count to 10You get one free move in the middle of a turn, but you must count down from 10 at the end of free turn. O7 fanta 5
You've entered the Grand Foyer: the entrance to the Castle is a sight to behold - trumpets blast as you walk through the main doors, brightly coloured that pennants hang from every wall, hallways and staircases leading off in all the directions of adventure, and in the centre of the room is an enormous cascading fountain, complete with a intricately carved hippocampus frozen in stone in the centre. Someone sure knows how to make an entrance way! R15 lectral 4There in the center of the ballroom, in all his glory, was Falling Star. He bows his head an asks, "Would you like to dance?" You may ask Falling Star questions or move along T19 sio 3W9 mblansett 6
Next Round starts at 8:30 PM!

Tristram looks about with confusion. He really thought his steps were bigger, but he must have been taking kore-steps because he wasn't as far along the room as he thought he should be. Fine, he would lengthen his stride!
Taking extra long steps he proceeds along the wall.

Meng Jiang was startled by the sudden round of trumpets, freezing in the spot till she shook it off. At least it was a pretty room? Trying to make herself seem as small as possible (which wasn't much!), she skirted off to N11.

Arwen stopped short, mouth dropping open. Oh... OH! The LIBRARY! Oh, she could just live here forever! So many books, so many scrolls!So much knowledge to explore and discover! Staring around in wonder, she finally noticed that there were at least two other rooms off of the library. Tail flickering eagerly, she nearly pranced on over to one of the rooms, far more interested at the moment in exploring this little slice of heaven.
(G28 please!)

Irmuska nearly stumbled in surprise; she had not expected to run into one of the stallions in the castle! "I would love to dance, actually. But whose castle are we dancing in?" (I am guessing it's an ask or move, not both situation!)

Lv -4 You've entered the Dispensary: row after row of bottles and boxes line the shelves, each more intriguing than the last. Madam Q's finest herbs and potions may be purchased here, but it'll cost you. B15 geob -7
N11 fanta -2You've entered the Hall of Champions: this hallway seems to go on forever! It's lined with portraits, most of them men and women but a few animalia too, and no matter where you stand, they all seem to be watching you. There are name plaques below each one, but to read them, you'd be tripping over the suits of armour that also line the hall in silent vigil. R15 lectral -3Falling Star spun gracefully around the ballroom. We aren't sure who this belongs to- in fact that's what Lilaini was trying to figure out when she went and got herself stuck. There's a lot of fun things in here we've been playing with while we waited for those twins to get help. T19 sio -3U9 mblansett- 4Next turn stars at 8:45!

SUDDENLY - Pocket Griffons are EVERYWHERE! Like some scene out of a Hitchcock movie they're flying about your head and into everything, causing ruckus and mayhem in your wake. It's GRIFFOGEDON!

Meng Jiang sighed at the wonder lining the walls. While she wanted to go fawn over each one, the suits of armor did pose a problem. So she made her way down the hall to N13.

"I suppose I should keep exploring then! Thank you for the dance, it was lovely." Bobbing her head, she headed back toward the door. (R12, probably my last move for now, Finding Dory is about to start XD)

Egads! Where did all these griffons come from!!!
Doing his best to dodge dive-bombing birds, Tristram forges forward to J-15.

Arwen yelped at the sudden pocket griffon attack, ducking down and darting forward, forgetting for a moment that she was in a small room. Bouncing off a table, she darted back the way she had come, slamming the door behind her, and hopefully locking the griffons on the other side of it! Let them pay for the mess that was now in the Dispensary!
(I28 please! 2 steps forward, two steps back XD)

Ans Ra was minding her own business when she was blindsided by Griffons. Instead of moving forward, she finds herself on J9
Tristram did his best to avoid the griffons, but to no avail! They were in his hair, and he was running --- all the way to S4
Meng Jiang thought she heard a creaking sound, and for a second it crossed her mind that maybe those suits of armour were coming to life. But it was just a griff. Or two. Or thirty! She scatters to E25 for safety.
As Irmuska waltzed away, she thought she saw movement to her right. She turned - and was met with more griffons then she could count, dancing through the air towards her. Dodging out of their way she finds herself at O30
Arwen was quick, but griffs are quicker - and one of them had wound it's fingers into her tail, screeching with glee. She gave her body a great shake, lurching sideways, and with a brisk flick of her tail managed to dislodge it, finding herself on P18 for the effort.

P18 Lv 6
You've entered the Mage's Tower: a tall, spiralling staircase leads up the narrow shaft to the room above. That's where you'll find the mage, or at least where one can assume they'll find the mage, being that this is a Mage's Tower and all.
S4 geob 3
You've entered the Torture Chamber: what? it's a castle! It has to have one! The typical items litter the room - shackles, ties and various implements; also a book, entitled Twenty Tints of Taupe; obviously they are planning to redecorate, this place could sure use it!
E25 fanta 2
You've entered the Dispensary: row after row of bottles and boxes line the shelves, each more intriguing than the last. Madam Q's finest herbs and potions may be purchased here, but it'll cost you.
T19 sio 4
O30 lectral 3
You've entered the Notasgrande Foyer: it takes you a minute to realize they weren't kidding - this entrance is pretty humble, at least by castle standards. There's a few somewhat-stately pieces of art in the room, a few modest sculptures, and the pennants hanging here are a little worn and out-of-season.
J9 mblansett 8
You've entered the Kitchen: this room is usually bustling with activity, but the only person here right now is busy peeling potatoes. A lot of potatoes. Besides that there's a massive cauldron bubbling on the hearth, root vegetables dangling from the ceiling, and a basket of eggs beside a flour sack spread on the counter. And something smells delicious!
Next turn ends at 9:10!

Once Tristram calmed down he looked around, not quite sure how he got to where he was. Which way now, he wondered.
What the heck, he decides and steps through the door beside him, turning left. Q-3

After Ans Ra stick her head in the pot to get taste. "Ouch that was hot" She bit one of the root vegetables to cool her tongue. She then went to room 3 (G9)

Arwen shuddered all over again, turning around in a circle a couple of times to verify that there was no more griffs attached to her! Satisfied that, for now, she was alone, she looked around, wondering where she had ended up in her mad flight from the griffs. Hmmm, a staircase leading up to a tower. Intriguing!
(P22 please! Cautiously circling the room XD)
