You kneel beside the IMPORTANT pile and begin carefully sifting through the gravel.
Most of it appears entirely ordinary.
Small stones.
Damp stones.
Several surprisingly judgmental stones.
Behind you, the gigantic mechanical hand suddenly stops moving.
Slowly, the machinery groans as the enormous green hand turns towards you.
For a few terrible seconds, the hand remains perfectly still.
Then, with astonishing speed, it knocks you directly into the middle of next week.
You awaken back up in the Castle many days later, on Wednesday.
Your hair appears slightly longer.
You have missed a number of Castle incidents.
Several residents glance sympathetically at you as you pass.
One quietly says, “Important pile?”
You nod.
They wince.
💀 Your adventure ends here.
💡 Residents returning from the dungeon are encouraged to report any unusual conditions, transformations or lingering effects to the Castle.
🚨 Please avoid revealing specific routes, procedures or gravel-related details.
