This is likely the first message that you will encounter. While not strictly out of bounds, it is a warning that the area ahead is more dangerous than usual. This section is cloaked in enternal darkness. Not even magical light can penetrate the inky blackness ahead, so you'll have to tread carefully and feel your way around.

This is a long, but ultimately, unimportant message. Stepping into this room causes your party to be instantly whisked back out to the castle. Outside of this room, it is quite dark, so you should know how to get in an out of the area if necessary.

In this room, you will always encounter a group of MURPHY'S GHOSTS, and you can repeat this encounter as many times as you like. However, you can never run away from this encounter, so you must be sure you can survive before engaging the ghosts. This is no place for a level 1 party to be, but it can be a great location for stronger parties to rapidly increase the levels of characters who have recently changed classes. The Mage spell of DILTO can aid you greatly by making the ghosts easier to hit.
