The gate opens without a sound and lets you into a narrow hallway built of the same yellow stone as the outside of the castle. You try to look around you, but there isn't much to see except for a few torches on the walls and a dim shape at the end of the hallway. You aren't sure whether it is a friendly shape or not, but the gate has already shut behind you and you don't want to have to ask it to let you through again. Feeling curious and frightened at the same time, you edge toward the shape.
As you get closer, the shape becomes easier to see, but you can't tell what it is until you're practically standing on top of it. Even then, you're not quite sure whether the creature huddled in the doorway is some kind of animal or a person wearing a patched and tattered fur coat. You try to get past the creature, but it's too big to step around, and it doesn't seem to hear you when you ask it to move.
What do you do?
Try to move the creature by force
Take a closer look
Turn around and go back
