Lining the courtyard, buildings cluster against the walls. All the windows and doors are busted or gone, leaving gaping dark holes in their place. Some of the roofs have fallen in. Whether or not the castle actually is haunted, it certainly looks the part. Most of the buildings are covered with webs, some old and dusty, some new and almost translucent. The exception is the main building directly across the courtyard. From its centre rises a tall keep, a huge version of the one Lord and Lady Pemberton occupy currently. To either side of the keep is a two story wing. It building is completely free of webs. For an instant, you think you see a light in one of the empty, ruined windows of the keep—but it is gone; probably a figment of your imagination.The open area of the courtyard is overgrown. Mostly knee high weeds and grasses, but also the odd corpse of brambles and a few young trees. Strung between the small trees, bushes and various bits of wreckage are a single stands of spider webbing, mostly new and translucent, barely visible even in the clear day light. Some a just a few inches off the ground, others are almost chest height.</blockquote>
