It was a long slide in total darkness, scraping and bumping and tumbling. Micah brought his arms up to protect his head and resisted the urge to stick his feet out to stop himself, aware that Horace hadn't been badly injured by the experience and wary of catching himself on some unseen obstacle and getting stuck.
He tumbled out eventually into the courtyard, rolling into the small snowdrift before he could stop himself. At least he was dressed for it, he thought sourly, and got to his feet to start through the castle again.

The mirrors were familiar, lining the long, dim corridor. Micah refused to look into them. He didn't want to see the almost-alien outline of his own face there. It was too strange. The corridor ended in a sudden chasm - this was familiar enough, at least, even if he hadn't turned around to get there. Magic, he assumed. He climbed carefully down the ladder and into the next mirrored hallway. Stamina: 22 Quote: Roll 51-70: The corridor ends rather abruptly, opening into a steep drop. However, there's a ladder, and it leads to another level of the same kind of hallway you were in before. Weird. Keep rolling, and subtract 1 Stamina.

This hall seemed almost shorter, and it was straight forward, no turns or forks. It deposited him into the tower with the stairs. That should have been impossible, but Micah decided he was just going to go with it, because it had sure taken a lot less time getting lost to get here this time. "Horace?" he yelled. "You still there or did you fall in again?" Stamina: 21 Quote: Roll 71-100: You manage to make it through the hall of mirrors unscathed. Continue to Round 3.

He snorted. "I'm just waitin' for my prince to come." He was glad Micah had showed up; Horace had been getting antsy, preparing himself to go on the hunt for the other man. No hunter left behind and all that. He cleared his throat. "Come on, your highness." Stamina: 18 Steps: 11 Quote: Roll 7-10: Nothing happens. Subtract 1 Stamina.

Micah growled a little and started up the stairs, testing each step carefully as he went before he rested his weight on it, and being careful not to step on any of the glass shards. Had there been mirrors on these walls once too? That was kind of a creepy thought -- this narrow, terrifying staircase lined with mirror frames. Stamina: 20 Steps: 10/25 Quote: Roll 7-10: Nothing happens. Subtract 1 Stamina.

"You're not hurt, are you? You know, from the fall and stuff?" He frowned as his boot knocked a shard of silvered glass off the staircase. It shattered on the floor - oddly fragile, even for glass. Stamina: 17 Steps: 21 Quote: Roll 7-10: Nothing happens. Subtract 1 Stamina.

Micah kept close to the wall, testing each step with a prod of his toe before he trusted his weight to it. "Nah," he answered. "Just scraped some, it didn't get through the shield or anything. Not fun but no big deal." Stamina: 19 Steps: 17/25 Quote: Roll 7-10: Nothing happens. Subtract 1 Stamina.

"Great, because I am terrible at first aid. My ministrations, although tender, are not skilled." Horace could see the top of the staircase - it was so close - and perhaps this was why he did not step as carefully as needed. This time, the wall opened up and swallowed him whole. Stamina: 17 Steps: 21 Quote: Roll 4: Instant death for you. Return to Round 1, reroll stamina, and proceed.

"********," Micah said, succinctly, and banged his fist fruitlessly against the wall that had eaten Horace. "******** you," he told the castle, and kicked a shard of glass over the edge of the stairway, then sat down to wait with a furious scowl.

This time, the ride was not so kind. Horace found himself ejected forcefully out of the castle and onto a pile of my sharp sticks.

Before going though the door, he gave it a vicious kick. Whatever this castle was, it didn't want him inside and that only made Horace more determined.

"******** you," he muttered at a mirror. The halls were not as he remembered them. Instead, they curved out in impossible ways unrecordable by his watch.

Wasn't there supposed to be a ladder? Horace took a sharp left and... ended up outside. Quote: Roll 1-25: It appears that you've lost your way, and the halls get darker and darker with every turn. Keep rolling, and subtract 3 Stamina because of how long it took to find your way.

But that didn't stop Horace from kicking a rock into a window.
