Immediately the doors swing open, allowing you to enter.  You look around, expecting to see whomever had opened the doors, but instead find yourself alone in a dark entry hall.  The stone walls are bare, except for the large tapestry hanging to your right, and seem to have a strange pattern molded into them.  Maybe it's just your eyes.  The only light is that of a fire in the room across from you.  The open door and the warmth of the fire's dancing light compel you forward.  Suddenly, the doors behind you crash shut, startling you, and you turn to see the area behind you shrouded in darkness.  Once again, you start toward the fire but stop when you reach the open doorway.  The room before you is a lavishly furnished sitting room.  The walls are covered with tall bookshelves, and the furnishings are perfectally preserved.  It reminds you of a museum.  Two chairs have been drawn up in front of the roaring fire and there is a small table between them.  On the table you see two goblets and three bottles.

"Welcome.  Come in and sit down.  I have been expecting you." says a voice from one of the chairs.

Moving forward, you circle the chairs and see the owner of the voice.  She is vaguely familiar and obviously a lady.  Her long red hair seems to be aflame as the dancing firelight plays across the room.  Her green gown is the exact color of her eyes, and she smiles up at you motioning toward the empty chair.  Sitting in the chair makes you relize just how tired you are.

"Would you like a glass of wine?"  she asks, gesturing toward the table.  When you nod, she lifts one of the bottles and removes the stopper before pouring the dark red liquid into both goblets.  You reach for the nearest goblet and taste the wine.  It's perfect, not too sweet.  As you drink, you feel your body begin to relax.

"My name is Lady Sable Draven," says your host. "This castle is my home and you are welcome here as long as you wish.  I regret that I must leave you so soon, but my servants will take care of anything you may need.  Feel free to explore, but be careful where you go.  Some sections of the castle are in need of repair."  With that she stands and walks to the door, "If you need anything, just pull the rope by the fireplace.  Good evening."

You stay seated and finish your wine before getting up.  Intending to ring for a servant and ask for a place to sleep, you find that you are no longer tired and decide to explore the castle instead.  You pick up the candle on the mantle,  light it from the fire, and turn toward the door. Once outside the room, you see identical sets of doors to your right and left, leading back into the castle
