The old woman beckons you to come in the shabby, dimly-lit castle. You
follow her down a long hallway which had an endless, red carpet and
the hall was lit by torches. Within 5 minutes or so, she stops at a
massive black door, not unlike the entrance door to the castle. She
knocks 3 times, and waits.
"I'm Isabel Rose of London." You introduce yourself.
