Lady Andrea was about to retreat from the Castle Of Kings when she heard
something. She paused, not knowing what it was but then the sound came
again, closer, louder. It was a young boy, screaming in terror! Lady Andrea knew this was not her quest but she could not leave this! The main doors of the palace were blocked with vines and the fact the doors were closed and locked. But there was hope. All castles came with a man-sized tunnel that allowed gaurds to retreat, one at a time, in case they were left outside when the doors were closed. This small, cramped tunnel had three two-ton stone blocks that could be lowered in place if needed. Andrea saw that the metallic supports, rusting and wet, were still holding the blocks up. She slid down the tunnel as fast as she could, trying not to notice that the supports had bowed in the middle. The far end of the tunnel was dark and full of multiple walls. When she got her bearings and her torch lit she found she was in a barracks. Of sorts. Three moldy matteresses were up against three walls. The front doors were gone, showing an arch of darkness. A table sat in the middle. On it was a lantern, two daggers, a set of cards, an adventure book ('Conan KillS A Lot' it read) and a handful of odd stones were on the table.
