This room is bleak and drained of color. Its walls, architecture, and even the burning torches appear in stark grays and blacks. Your attention is drawn to the massive gate. Beyond you see what appears to be the night sky. How is that possible? Your musings are interrupted by the sight of a mysterious cloaked spectre hovering in the corner. He speaks in a stentorian voice that reverberates with a strange echo:
You have traveled far, mortal. Step through this gate to leave the catacombs and continue your journey to the Castle of Vasgarth.
