A large, gurgling pit of quicksand. Many adventurers and poor critters lie at the bottom of the pit. The pit is surrounded by an extensive swampland and is shielded by the many trees and shrubs that surround it.

I'm a little critter creature who loves to roam the castle. I should be out in the forest with my other critter kin, but I just love the warmth of the kitchen. Castle creeping is a dangerous life for an unwanted animal like me. But I can't help it! I can't resist a good hearth.
