Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 13
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 young woman with a pointed hat is stirring an enormous cauldron, which is boiling loudly, with a large wooden spoon. She's facing away from you as smoke of various colors drifts from the cauldron.
Various ingredients for any good meal lie scattered on nearby counters, along with a dead bat. A broomstick also rests in the corner of the room, by a large fireplace.
Room Challenges
- Child-Napper: a successful Initiative roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, -1) allows characters to remain unnoticed by the witch, while she cooks her steaming cauldron, and while she sings: "Come little children, I'll take thee away - into a land of enchantment... That's what I told them as we flew o'er the town, into the Ladies' castle." A Double-Success Initiative Roll also allows characters to sneak up right next to the witch, providing an opportunity to ambush her, grapple her, etc. If characters can subdue her, she'll admit to capturing the children, and tell the party that they're being held in the courtyard (behind dungeon room 8). She is not one of the Furiaes. In return for sparing her life, she'll give the party the "The Sorcerer's Key," to help them free the children (or of course the party can steal it from her).
Enemy Stats
Lady Alpha: "Common" enemy Difficulty (match Avg. Party Level). If she is attacked, the Lady will run towards the fireplace (dungeon room 14), grab her broom, and fly up the chimney, cackling all the way. See the Dungeon A Day - Enemy Stats and AI page for more details.
