“I’ll do it,” you say, “I’ll be your messenger.”
As you take the figurine, the dwarf tries to speak one last time before his life ends.
“You are our only hope!”
His body relaxes with a relieved sigh, and you suddenly can’t hold back your tears, realising the toll Death’s game takes on your soul.
You have to find that castle! Maybe Death can’t reach there.
You see smoke rising in the North. The castle is under siege. There is a direct road leading there. To the East, a path moves up a mountain, offering a better view of the castle. You can also walk through the forest on the West side of the road to use it for cover.
