[[ooc note: This is set out of time of regular events and everyone in the Fleet can participate if they want. The Goal is a Fleet Wide Teambuilding Experience.]]
After starting the Holoprogram created by Ensign Lindsey Wellingtion on Starbase 220, the group containing Ensign Sereya Eren, Lieutenant Commander Sinez Kodor, Lieutenant Orryn Raza, Lieutenant JG Therese Xylvarenn, Petty Officer 1st Mitch Endel, Chief Petty Officer Tia Conelly and Ensign Lindsey Wellington made their way up a hill in a forest. They were fleeing from the Ork Warbands that followed them, giving thrilling sounds of their Warhorns in the distance. After reaching the top of the Hill, while it went dark and a full moon on the sky was already able to see, they discovered a valley behind that hill that contained a castle in the middle of it. In front of the main gate the group could see a couple of guards. Humans, so they went there to make contact.
They were greeted by a Knight that was called from one of the Guards. He told them his name was Sir Oakenground and after the group explained to him that they were chased by the orks he offered them protection and accommodation. The group took the offer and went into the castle where they were brought to the main hall and met Lady Dragonstone, her daughter and their court wizard. The conversation seemed pretty awkward, as both Lady Dragonstone and her daughter looked for the wizard again and again. Gazes exchanged and after some time they were brought to their chambers. The group discussed the happenings during that talk. They were all on the same page that something felt off and they should be right on that. It took not to long till a knock on the door could be heard. The Door was opened and the daughter of Lady Dragonstone visited the group. She told them that they were in great danger and if they stayed over the night they would also be cursed, like the castle was. She told them that a long time ago there was a curse crafted on the castle from the wizard that the castle would only appear when there is a full moon. So instead of having a full month, these people only had one day a month. The daughter told them that she is probably already around 300 years old.
She did not need to explain further, that was all that the group wanted to know to leave that place. They were brought to the cellar of the castle by the daughter to an old unfinished fountain that should be their way out of the castle. However, they also promised to help these people and lift the curse. For that they needed to bring an old Helmet to the Castle that is called ‘the Drakenhelmet’. Endel attempted to move the stone plate from that old fountain that prevented people from accidentally falling into the fountain. He did good and only needed one try to lift it from the fountain, leaving the rest of the group impressed, some probably for the first time ever. After that was done they climbed down the wooden ladder, only to find out that it wasn’t all this stable after all these years. One by one they fall down on a wooden midsection platform in the fountain, breaking that one with their last fall also and this way sending the whole group another three meters to the ground. Endel and Tia were still up, so Lindsey casted them a rope to climb down. The group moved afterwards through a tunnel that opened up in front of them and led them to an old crypt.
In that crypt they found an old stone coffin with the Nameplate “Here lies Lady Sofia Dragonstone the third, may her jump lead her to piece and towards her beloved Kuno.” After looking closer at the coffin a ghost emerged from it that was desperately searching for that Drakenhelmet. The group now knew that they had to bring that helmet here, to actually break the curse, as because of the restlessness of that ghost the only thing that kept it here was the helmet. They fled the crypt after the ghost become more aggressive over that missing helmet and went outside through a metal door. After getting outside it only took a few moments as daylight hit the group and the castle vanished in a flash of light only leaving trees and a small river where it once was.

Lindsey explained to the group that they actually already know where to look for that Drakenhelmet as it was the Grand Price of that first adventure some of them went on at a Holodeck on the USS Adagio. It was a tournament with the helmet as Grand Price for the winner. Prince Eugen of Andergast won that tournament and this way also the helmet.
In the Distance the group could hear the sound of a group of bards playing music and they first decided to travel there, where they found out that these people were actually showman as they also had a giant six legged beetle in one of their waggons. The groups bard Lieutenant JG Therese Xylvarenn or Viscountess Sylvia Renn wasn’t all to impressed by the music the group played. The group then decided what to do next and went for the plan to enter the castle masked as entourage of Viscountess Sylvia Renn and after they got in to search for the helmet and simply steal it.
The Plan however didn’t work out so good as the guards in front of the Kings castle were only allowed to led those in that actually had a royal invitation from the King. The Group did not possess one of those and after the Guard claimed that this wasn’t also a place for woman because of the Kings War Council Meeting because of the Danger of the Orks in the North, Ensign Lindsey Wellington stepped in, in her Role as Wizard, claiming to make it the Guards fault if the King lost the Caste in that Area the Orks were active if they do not get the chance to speak to him immediately.
The Guard then showed them into the Castle and they visited the main hall where the King, his wife, the Prince and many of the Lords and Ladys were already waiting. They got the chance to speak up and explain the situation. The Prince however did not want to give up that Helmet so easily and the group was tasked ‘to find Nimuan a Husband’. They offered Endel, of course, but as it was explained by Lord Oakenground that stepped in earlier during the conversation this actually did not mean to find a real husband, but to solve an unsolvable riddle. That one had two task. First, to find an unborn child that had to wave from the Kings Castle Walls and second, to led a rider on a six legged mount pass the main Gate of the Castle. They already had found a mount like that and Endel was looking forward to ride that beast, but the other part of the riddle made them think for a while. Ensign Sereya Eren came to the conclusion then that a child born with the caesarean would count in these times as unborn. Chief Petty Officer Tia Conelly had the idea to find a midwife that probably knew about such a child, but where to find a midwife? The group decided to ask in a local tavern where they learned that the local Praios Temple had a midwife. However, as it already had gotten late for the group and most of them already were drunk, they decided to safe that Adventure here.
On the next day the Adventure was loaded again and the group would awake at the Taverns Guestrooms that were booked for the night. The Computer voice claimed: “11 Days after leaving Castle Dragonstone!” then the before frozen picture came back to life….
