You pass through the portcullis of Castle Vasgarth and reach the entrance. Its facade is adorned with gargoyle statues and vines growing along the parapets. An armored knight waits by a small bonfire. Alerted by your presence, he speaks:
"Hail wanderer. If you enter the castle, beware the multiple paths within. You will meet other adventurers, strange inhabitants, and dangerous foes. Rumors are the lower dungeons lead to a network of caverns home to dragons. Good luck."
