Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 10
In a leaf-fallen forest, under a full moon, a dark shadow lies over a single cottage. Looking up, you can just make out the outline of a ghost-like castle, somehow floating in the autumn skies.
Beneath it, candle-like wisps flit about, summoning all souls who can hear their call, to the "doorway" through which all may pass to the floating keep.
This is the place to which children from the nearby village have been kidnapped, reports claim. But seeing Furiaes Castle in person is more unsettling than you'd hoped.

Room Description (Read the Following Text to Your Players)
A 10ft-tall, 10-ft wide gargoyle made of dark stone blocks the entirety of the castle's hallway. Though not obviously animate, you have a sense that it could become so, given your encounters with the castle so far.
Room Challenges
- Guardian Gargoyle: a successful Intelligence roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, +1) reveals a keyhole just underneath one of the gargoyle's rigid wings. This "lock" cannot be picked, but if players use "The Fairy Skeleton's Key," the gargoyle will move aside for the players and cause them no harm. Otherwise, if players attempt to sneak past, climb, or attack the gargoyle, it will attack them until it's destroyed.
- Porcelain Doll: annoyingly, the doll taunts the party, saying: "The Furiaes of the castle haven't given you permission to go any further. Too bad! Guess you won't find the children, after all. Haha!"
Enemy Stats
Guardian Gargoyle: "Hero" enemy Difficulty (match Avg. Party Level). Option to use the "Legionnaire AI." The Guardian Gargoyle also has +5Resilience, +5Dodge, +5Will, but -5Strike Bonus and -5Faith. When in combat, the Gargoyle will shriek loudly for the second Guardian Gargoyle from dungeon room 12 (who hears the cry) to wrap around and flank the party. See the Dungeon A Day - Enemy Stats and AI page for more details.
