Grabbing a torch, you realize for the first time how dimly lit the castle is. You walk out of the throne room into a hallway. You reach the stairs that lead downward. It is pitch black and you hear the screams of tortured souls. Your step falters and you tumble down the stairs. Looking up you become terrified as you see
"Welcome to my former master Lord Nothing's dungeon/torture chamber, now belonging to my Lady Sasha. Beware for you could lose your soul here. Continue at your own risk."
