Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 23
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)
This hallway is wider than all others that you've seen in Furiaes Castle, but is still poorly lit by only a few lanterns on each side. A grand doorway lies at the end of the hall to the left, and louder chanting can be heard at the end, and to the right.
(This event only takes place if the Porcelain Doll is still alive - if the party travels here first, before they've made their way to dungeon room 29).
The porcelain doll quietly says as you're walking: "You don't think what I said about you being welcome guests here earlier was true, do you?"
Slight music begins playing in the darkness, as if by piano. Shadows coalesce around the party’s feet.
Suddenly, a shadow-black creature emerges from the ground beneath the porcelain doll, raising it into the air. There, it hangs, as if by marionette wires, cackling maniacally. 4-additional arms ending in razor sharp claws emerge from the creature's back as it advances towards you.
A black cat meows somewhere in the background, and you just make out its tail as it bounds off into the darkness, back towards the stairways.
Room Challenges
- Porcelain Doll/ Monstrous Shadow: when the doll is defeated, the shadow disperses with a roar, and the doll is dropped to the ground. It lets out a deep sigh, and says, "...thank you..." then shatters into pieces, and this time, for good. After this dungeon room, the porcelain doll no longer follows the party.
Enemy Stats
Porcelain Doll/ Monstrous Shadow: "Hero" enemy Difficulty (match Avg. Party Level, +2). Option to use the "Berserker AI." See the Dungeon A Day - Enemy Stats and AI page for more details.
