Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 29
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)
Piano music, grim and echoing, reaches your ears from some distant and hidden place in the castle. Upon the ornate, crimson throne of the Furiaes rests and purs a black cat, peering at you with glowing, orange eyes.
Shadows coalesce around each of your feet, shifting into uncomfortable and frightening shapes.
(If players chased away Lady Omega from dungeon room 6/7, and Lady Alpha from dungeon room 13/14, they are now present here, as guardians of the throne).
(If the party has yet to permanently dispatch of the porcelain doll first - in dungeon room 23, then the following also occurs).
Additionally, 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.
Room Challenges
- Black Cat - The Furiaes, Tisiphone: characters entering this room roll Resilience (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level). If they fail, they become afraid of the shadows coalescing around them, and no amount of coaxing or willpower of their own can cause them to leave the room, or even act at all. "Fear" may be removed with any dispel effect, or once the black cat is defeated. If all players are Feared, this adventure will end as all characters are killed, so you should probably fudge rolls if they're all getting caught in this effect. Otherwise, once these rolls are over, the black cat, Tisiphone, grows into a shadows "cat sith" and immediately attacks.
- Second Furiaes: if the party slays the cat sith, it meows pathetically, then lies still. The cat sith then turns into the form of a human woman, covered in rich robes, eyes closed and lying in her own blood.
- 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.
