* As the maniacal & mocking laugh continues,
and you finally close to the figure.
He disappears suddenly, with a blink!!
A fierce, bone-chilling wind rises up and roars through the hall,
putting out all the torches & lights.
You hear the screech of ancient hinges and the solid thud of many heavy doors
slamming shut, one after another, into the distance.
Then you hear what sounds like a porcullis clanging shut,
and the tired groan of an aged drawbridge pulling up.
The vast room is now dark, except for your magical lights.
A wind whistles through its confines.
Crystal sings in the darkness as the great chandeliers rustle in the wind.
The fragrance of food still wafts its way throught the darkened hall. *
