Escape Plan: Egyptian Castle
Control
Moonlight filters through cracked stained glass, casting jagged shadows across the stone corridors as you press your back against the damp wall, breath held—armor clinks nearby, the rhythmic march of guards echoing. You scan the hallway: a frayed tapestry hangs crooked, revealing a sliver of hidden passage behind it, but reaching it means crossing ten paces of open floor under flickering torchlight. Your fingers brush the cold hilt of a dagger, but violence risks alarm; instead, you palm a loose stone from your pouch and hurl it down the adjacent corridor—the guards pivot toward the noise, and you slip into the passage, cobwebs clinging to your face as the wall grinds shut behind you. The air reeks of mildew and aged iron, the narrow tunnel sloping downward into pitch blackness until your boot knocks against a rusted lantern, its oil miraculously intact—a spark from your flint ignites a frail flame, revealing crude symbols etched into the walls: a serpent coiled around a tower, arrows pointing left, right, left. You follow the clues, avoiding pressure plates that trigger distant crashes and muffled shouts, until the tunnel spills into a forgotten chapel, its altar cracked open to expose a key shimmering with enchantment—but snatching it wakes stone gargoyles, their wings scraping as they descend. You dive beneath a crumbling pew, heart hammering, and spot a stained-glass window depicting a knight shattering chains—the key fits a rusted slot beneath the image, and the floor drops away, plunging you into the castle’s icy moat. You surface silently, the moon high, as the drawbridge creaks open—a merchant’s cart laden with hay rolls past, and you melt into the shadows beneath it, the castle shrinking behind you as dawn bleeds into the horizon. No swords drawn, no alarms raised—just wit and whispers, the true weapons of those who outthink the dark.
