Description:

A week ago some Keepers paid a visit to me and
told me a story about an old castle in the forbidden
forest that was once run by the Hammers as catacombs.
The Trickster put a spell on all the dead in the castle,
changing them to undead who then rose up from their
caskets and attacked the Hammerites. The Hammers that
were not killed were chased away, knowing that they could
never return to the castle because there was just too
much evil in it.

The Keepers warned me not to visit and explore the castle
because they still sense much evil in the place, as if
a prime evil still lives in it even though the
Trickster is dead and gone.

I was really thinking that I should obey their words
until they said just a little too much. They told me
that the castle was once the home of King Albert. When
he died, the Hammerites bought the castle and honoured
King Albert by putting his body in a casket, with his
crown locked up near him. I searched the Hammerites'
oldest library and could find no reports of the crown
ever leaving the castle. I also found reports of a
scroll left in the castle by the Trickster some
Hammers mysteriously found a day before he attacked.
If I could find them both it could make me rich enough
to retire!

But ,, if the castle is as evilly haunted as the
Keepers say, it may really be my final resting
point. Before I go, I will tell the Keepers
that I have decided to explore the castle
because there may be something they would like
me to do for them while I am there....

* Loading Information *

DarkLoader ready
You should only start to play this mission on a fresh reboot
Do not unzip this mission. Just put the zip into the folder
you keep all of your fm's to play.

System requirments:
Windows 98 or Windows 2000 or higher
lots of memory and good video card
You should have as many things not running in the back
ground on your computer as possible.
You might want to start playing this fm after a
fresh reboot. Definetly if your computer has been on
for a while like 2 days.

Well even if you have all of the system requirments it still
might be very laggy for you only at the beginning and will
really pick up after you walk around a bit.

I do stress for you to please not cheat by looking at my
mission in Dromed. It really defeats the purpose of why
I made this fm. So if your really in desperate need of
help in my mission please just ask around!! I got all of
my beta testers from the TTLG forums.

Credits: Thanks to Rob Hicks for making DEDX and everyone
who made DEDX possible with all of the stuff that's in it,
Timon Jericho for the shields I added blood to and Eshaktaar
for the scary lights I put in the graveyard. Also for Komags
and Spike's Tutorial, everyone who helped me at the TTLG
Editors guild and of course all of my beta testers who helped
me with their words of wisdom about my fm.
