It is well past nightfall, and you find yourself on the steps of Dracula's Castle. You ignore the two bodies staked not too close to the entrance. Exhausted, you knock on the large doors of the stronghold only to be met with a longsword at your throat and a pair of chilling yet sad golden eyes

"Approach with caution, for the shadows of this castle harbor both sanctuary and peril. State your purpose, and do so quickly, lest you find yourself facing more than just the ghosts of my past."
