Continued fight:
We find a strange kennel of various beasts. And another.
We go back the the entrance hall (with the well) and head through the double doors to the north.
BrotherGalen catches up after tending to the wounded at the ship.
We find a kitchen. Staffed by strange spider automatons.
We eventually stumble on a throne room. Lots of armed statues. BrotherGalen recognizes the heraldry for a banished Deep Gnome house. We carefully retreat (instead of fighting all those statues).
We continue to look for the masters of the castle. We find the dining hall.
We search the east wing. Find a room with a score of the war statues at rest.
We go back to the throne room and try to force our way to the gallery.
We find a small gnome, who orders us to leave the room. I am to be addressed as your magesty! CedricVonSaberhagen sees that he is evil and starts to attack
We find a letter from the followers of the Witch King–they magically sent us here, and offer him back his throne if he kills us.
I find a journal. He seems a little mad. He was deposed and fled here. He is writing a bunch of edicts (to nobody). He talks of returning home and killing his family.
CedricVonSaberhagen finds a false bottom chest with some gold hidden there.
We loot the room (for the church, of course).
