[center][h3][b]You feel the ground begin to rumble as the beast makes it's approach. Out the windows and on the battlements, you can see it, burrowing out the ground like a jumping dolphin and back down, leaving massive craters in it's wake.[/b][/h3][/center]

You look through the shards, your elegant boots being stained by the mixing teas puddling on top of the flagstones. You start to sort through in search of the rare antiques but to be honest, all of these pieces look like they could be used for something. Some of the previous Mages in the Black Castle had some good taste, and in the end you have no way to tell what is worthless from what is worthwhile. Like a magpie, by the end you have collected a very nice looking pile of pretty shards, that have no real match between the pieces. But it does look cool.

You speed through the castle and find a small closet with thick walls in the hopes of keeping Promien safe. You summon Ashrune successfully, but as you wander through the corridors of the castle, you realize you don't recognise the area. Walls seem to become older, strange intricate carvings of ancient slavers decorating the stonework. The lighting is replaced by dimming crystal, and you see two pinpricks of red eyes emerging from the darkness. A ghoul, no less. Had it made it's way up from the catacombs and dungeons beneath the ground, or have you stumbled into an unknown part of the castle? It lurches towards you, hungering for flesh.

This smoke pellet was far superior to the last, creating a beautiful plume of smoke that was majestic enough to match Galeini the GREAT's needs. However, it produced a quiet ppppppppppt sound, that took away from the wizard's overal elegance.

You go to fire the cannon expecting a BOOM! what you hear is a [i]clink[/i]. You go to fire it again. and again. [i]click. click. click[/i] Is it jammed? is something wrong with the programming? why isn't it firing?! what's wrong with it?! Your thoughts start racing as you think through the potential glitches. All the while, the legendary molerat approaches.
