The dead of the garrison walk again
Fight your way
out of the keep.
You wake in a cell under a moonbeam grate. Above you, the whole garrison of Grimhold has risen from the dead, and the only way out is through them.
Slash, parry, kick and stomp your way through the keep and down into the catacombs, then climb out into the first light of dawn.
