Rooms

  Ice coats the rocky walls.  Soft, vaporious clouds form from warm exhaled

air in this icy hallway.  Ice weaves between the rods of the heavy, steel

doors located to the east and west.  Faint moans and pleas echo through this

frigid place.  The hallway continues in the north-south direction.  There is

a shaft that leads down to a lower level.  

  You are on the second floor of this castle.  You are numb from your

discoveries on the first floor, and wonder what secrets the upper floor of this

castle holds.  Hallways extend in all directions, and you see a small, closed 

hatch above you.
