Scene 8: Castle Death (West Wing)

[Sir Aram]

Aram swims onwards along with the current with broad, powerful strokes. This must be an underground waterway, he thinks. Hopefully it will flow out of an exit somewhere ahead.

[zipp]

It's impossible to tell where you're going in the dark. The current carries you along at a speed you can only measure by the roar of the water and the ease of your movement through it.

Suddenly, though, you feel an impact as you hit a wall. Instinctively, you grab for some hand holds and manage to avoid being sucked under the rock by the current of the river. Somehow you feel that this is your stop.

There's a bank to our left, the voice tells you. If only you can find a way there.

[Sir Aram]

Yes, that must be the way out, thinks Aram. He grips a handhold tightly with his good hand and tries to climb out of the water and onto the rock face. The handholds can double as footholds, though climbing will not be as easy with only one usable hand. Still, once again his lack of armor is an advantage.

[zipp]

Eventually you reach a shoreline and scramble on to it. By feeling in the darkness, you discover that a single path lies open to you, and you progress down it without questioning where it leads. You think you can hear voices drifting to you out of the dark, and the walls begin to feel smoother and cold... like iron.

A blood chilling scream suddenly shatters the silence. It sounded close. Above you actually. You look up, and gasp at what you see.

And that's the end of this chapter. You'll be with the others when we restart. No extra EXP this chapter, but there will be a general pool you can grab from, so keep your eyes peeled.
