Sleep is not yet forthcoming, so further investigations are undertaken, but the castle seems largely uninhabited at this point. Some resting happens and then more investigating occurs. A body is found – a woman long dead and in her hand, the imprint of a coin. They climb a set of stairs – curiously carved to look like gargoyles says Gala – and then are attacked by gargoyles that crawl out from under the stair treads. Gargoyles are battled and slain and investigation reveals a wall of new construction. It is battered down and a room lies beyond – a well is capped by a carved lid and the pattern in the center is the same as a strange coin taken from the rope-monster’s lair.
More investigating and further discoveries and a bit of magical investigation of items found so far and the group is ready for the final challenge…a door that resisted their attempt to knock it down. Now armed with a knock spell, they draw near to it…
