During the forest segment, Alabaster seems excited to jot down all sorts of notes about what the characters have done or found. He has a big grin on his face as he looks over his notes. "You all are going to make this very exciting," he says, "Let's take a brief break, so everyone can grab some snacks." He stretches his front most paws, "We shall re-convene in fifteen minutes, that should give me some extra time to plot about all this new stuff." The pupps at the table agree enthusiastically, and start to filter in and out during the break, a few write down some of their own notes on their character sheets.
As promised, Alabaster starts up the game again waiting for everyone to get back, "After a long and eventful trek through the woods, your party arrives at their destination, a crumbling castle in a clearing of the thick woods..."
Chapter 3 - The castle
You finally reach the castle where the beast is said to have a lair. There's one problem though... There doesn't seem to be any way inside the castle! Your party circles the perimeter, finding no doors and no windows, just solid stone walls. But there must be way in, right?
How does your character find a way into the seemingly impenetrable castle? Do they discover a secret? Use a feat of athleticism? Feel free to use your imagination for a creative solution!

Snowflake, understandably, felt frustrated after his adventuring party circled the castle - what kind of a person builds a castle with no way in?! Snowstorm quietly suggests that it's a dead end, but he just won't believe that, oh, no. It couldn't just be a dead end! There has to be some kind of... secret passage! Yeah! And of course, the most logical way to open up secret passages is to hit the castle walls with your paws out of frustration... right.
Snowflake is rolling Teeth to try forcing the castle to cough up a secret entrance!

The gray walls loom quietly above Snowflake..
Snowflake rolls a 6 +0, for a total of 6, failing!
The stone is smooth and resilient under Snowflake's paws, cold and unmoving. His companions watch him curiously, waiting for a moment before one of them suggests maybe taking another lap around the castle. They start to walk off, leaving Snowflake alone.
Snowflake starts to follow the group as well, but something catches his eye before he moves too far, where he was pounding at the wall, a small crack has appeared... and its glowing...

Snowflake was glad he turned back to look - that was definitely odd. He couldn't have hit the wall hard enough to get through the stone, right...? Was it some kind of magic? Wait, that was a new idea - he should have just cast a spell from the start!
Quietly muttering a spell, Snowflake held his crystal ball up to the crack, asking it to show him where the entryway is...
Snowflake is rolling Nose for investigating via his magic!
