- :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.
