* As you head up, you start feeling a strong breeze.
Turning the corner you see the sky above you with dark clouds.
Drizzle starts to fall on your face with the an impending storm in the distance.
Lightning flashes lighting up the clouds briefly.
When you get to the top of the step you find you have come out to the top of a castle.
A grand dramatic dark gothic castle.
With a tall spire behind and a few half turrets before you down the walkway.
You are outside a vaulted roof, actually two.
And beside a very large turret making side of the doorway you've emerged from.
A wide walkway around most of the walls of the keep you notice as you squint your eyes in the wind.
Far below these parapets are the shining wet cobblestones of the courtyard.
You see that you could go straight-ahead on this walkway across the wall going across the courtyard to the outer walls,
where it splits both ways.
Or you could go on the walkway to your right down to one of the smaller half turrets which are hollowed out for archers,
and where it turns right.
You are amazed that this great keep is
on the edge of a cliff, shear & jagged chasms on all sides.
In the distance, dark valley & mountain, cover by dead forests.
This is all you can see from this angle, but others might reveal more.
A brief gust of wind buffets you.*
