Test Drive #6 : "Hey but I... don't really like the summertime..."

[solravehmods]

 

Not every place in the castle is a figurative prison of four stone walls and not much else. Some of it does lie within a figurative prison of four stone walls, no ceiling, a churning water wheel with a creek and lush grass with sparsely scattered trees.

Not that anyone just arriving would know that. All they would know is that they're someplace they weren't before, and getting out is going to be a serious issue. There does seem to be an opening at the end of the creek, but even with the water there it's easy to tell it simply dumps further in to the stone castle that people have been unceremoniously dropped inside.

There are also doors, but one is absolutely stuck fast and the other, much larger one has a lever to open it. Opening it will only reveal another closed off room, but if one looks hard enough they may very well find that there is a secret within these walls.

Those brave enough to continue in to the next area will have to make use of the water wheel and get themselves to the turning crank behind it in order to stop the rushing water.

Be warned if you do, though:

The next area isn't nearly as safe as where you began, and strange shadowy creatures of all sorts might not take too kindly to your arrival.
