:STORY
A Mr. Joshua Worms recently recived an old map of West London area
showing the location of a supposed treasure buried by the Prince
John while King Richard was off fighting the Crusades. After he
verified the authenticity of the map, he had the law firm of
Davidson & Sons track down todays equivalent location of Castle
Rogue. Finding the location to be that of the West Landing in,
Worms made a deal with the bank to buy the property if it should
ever come up for sale or go into default.
Worms then devised the idea of the ghost to scare away the clients
from the inn and force Washburn into either selling or bankruptcy.
