The fortress wasn't unholy in the slightest. It was spooky, yes, haunted, maybe, possessed, not yet. The other contestands still didn't move yet, Glere mumbling to his own, Spender lamenting the loss of his ATM, and Thomas no doubt solving some internal conflict. She decided to wake the poor souls up: "Well boys, if you aren't going to make a move, I'll be looking for a good body of some sort. I'm kind of peeved for losing Michelle, but it couldn't be helped. So long, my dears!" With those words out, she sped through one of the doors, checking for any survivors. "Hello? Anybody down there?" She loved giving people false hope. Well, the crushing part is a bit more satisfying, but that's the automatic follow-up. Whatever resided down the pit let out a mumble and a plea for help. Asteira followed the path, a path awfully steep and possibly no longer suitable for a human to climb, and found herself in an ancient mining site, with a handful of people around a bonfire trying to roast a rat. "Thank God you came! We thought for sure we would die down here!" "You will." "'Scuse me?" Her words didn't quite reach the man with a rough -o'-clock shadow. "You will die here. I'm not a good spirit here to save you, you know." The men's faces turned grim, and portrayed a bit of fear. "I used to live here, on these grounds, and by digging up the entire site, you have awakened my torment. There are three other spirits here: There's a man with a fishbowl for a head, because you cracked his skull with one of your careless shovels. He went crazy. Next there's a man with a cloak with a sad face. You broke his hometown to pieces by placing this fort. He went delusional. Then a man who came here from the future, trying to undo all the trouble you've caused for many generations to come. He now thinks he's four people.
As you can see, you're all in a bit of a predicament, but moreso are the spirits. We all deserve this ground more than you, but we still have to fight for it. So, I've come to give you an offer. Kill these other three spirits, and I will free all of you. Get you away from the evill ghosts and never bother you again. I'm not an evil witch, I just want my house back. Just get those intruders away and that'll be that! Here, I'll even open up the path for all of you..."
Asteira flew up again, and tried to possess a boulder. Much to her surprise, it worked. The rock came tumbling down the path, landing cleanly in the best place for the miners to crawl back up again. "Remember the deal. Kill those other three."
