The castle is located at the top of an erosive cliff face of a vast ocean. An entire wing of the castle appear to have collapsed into the ocean due to the erosion of the cliff face, perhaps the reason why the castle now lay abandoned.

explorer
elderly man
I am older and wiser than others in the community. I have been alive for quite some time and have witnessed many things. I am calm, wise, and have a quiet strength.
Do not seek the treasure! Do not seek the treasure! I'm an explorer hear seeking the treasure! I have seen things young explorer.  This treasure you seek will destroy you, but as I am old, calm, and wise I will not argue with a fool. Destroy me, how? I see that it will make me wealthy beyond measure. I will attract the love of a beautiful woman and can travel the world. Do you see this ghost here in this abandoned castle??   I have seen things.   The treasure is has been steeped in the blood of explorers of old.  It is cursed.  Just ask my friend here.   I'll poke him with your cane. Huh, it goes right through him. But no words come out. If he has a warning to give, he dares not speak it. You fool.  This poor lost soul sought the treasure that you seek.  You say it will bring you beautiful women?  I saw harlots.  Wealth beyond measure?  Try a cup of dead and a half of cup of roaming the earth for eternity. You're just jealous, old timer. With your feeble body, you are in no shape to seek any treasure. Your days are numbered and you lurk here in an abandoned castle. I have a quiet strength that I dare not waste on a foolish explorer.   I have had my treasure and through my wisdom I gave it up to seek a higher power.   This was my castle before wealth ruined it.  Now, I am older, wiser, and seek to warn those who are willing to make the same mistake as I and my friend have. Ha! You are nothing! You claim to be a former nobleman, but now you simply lurk at an abandoned castle with nothing. Clearly your fortune betrayed you. Now out of my way so I may seek my own! My dear friend, save me from this evil man.  He has taken to blood lust for the elderly.  Is there no decency left.  The treasure's curse has already taken hold! Get out of my way before you feel this rock upon your skull! You are worthless, decrepit stranger!
