[Crimsonheart] Ridley Who?

Did my messages finally reach the library? I was afraid I'd suffered all that bird poop for nothing.

Welcome to Crimsonheart Castle. I'd shake your hand, but...

If you really want to know about me... I used to live in a place called Masteria. I was a Grandmaster Wizard back then, teaching my students the sweet arts of slinging magic. One day I was cracking wise with my favorite pupil, LeFay, while she worked on a petrification ritual. I had this great bit about 'people from Versal be walkin' like this,' and then I saw LeFay laugh... and then BAM. Statue.

You've seen all the kids trapped in here, right? From what I can tell, they're members of a peaceful race of demons that hails from Shadow Veil Forest. I've been trying to get a message to them about the secret passages, but I don't think they can hear me.

Take the drainage pipe here to get into the upper levels, then take the waterway to the moat. It leads out toward the old oceanfront. It's not the safest place, but it's better than a jail cell.

(Talk to Pepper.)

What do you have against demons?

There's a secret passage? Really?

Oh, you meant the drainage pipe... That's been blocked up forever. It's full of soldiers and monsters. That's how everything is in Tynerum... If only we could get back to the forest, where life made sense.

Take the drainage pipe here to get into the upper levels, then take the waterway to the moat. You can get those kids out of there in a flash!

(Talk to Pepper.)
