You squeeze through the narrow opening and enter a long dark tunnel…
You find yourself somewhere underneath the castle. A dark tunnel stretches to the north and south. There’s a hole dug into the wall to the east. There is a skeleton here. Exits are NORTH, SOUTH, EAST.
Take a couple of bones from the skeleton.
You look closer at the skeleton and realize that these are the remains of an adventurer clad in fire-scorched armor. Its rent and battered shield bears the heraldry of Action Castle!
That’s nice. Take a femur for a weapon.

Completely ignoring the armor and shield, you take one of the bones from the skeleton. It’s long and thick, so it’s probably a femur. To be honest you aren’t 100% sure which bone is a femur, since you are the washed out son of a cobbler.
I’m going to have to leave it there guys. Until Monday!
Feel free to plot out your next moves 
Maybe we can get the smithy to turn the shield into an axe blade and lodge it into the bone
Hey now, since when are we washed out!?
We’ve presumably got a decent apprenticeship, a nice lady friend and a burgeoning friendship with a local velvet tradesman.

I dunno, your dad kicked you out. I figured that made you washed out, but maybe you just need to go start your own cobbler shop.
The poor guy worked his hands to the bone and yet still doesn’t have enough to feed his 12 children and we’re going along saying we’re washed out because he said we had to go make our own way in the world now we’re fully grown!? The youth these days

Grab the shield and then head north
You grab the shield from the decomposed adventurer and climb up the tunnel. You climb out of the tunnel and back into the Moat of Action Castle. You are now in the Moat. Exits are OUT (towards town), or INTO TUNNEL.
**Back into tunnel and lets try East **
Descending back into the tunnel you then turn east. You climb out of the tunnel into a dungeon. Torches flicker high above, casting sinister shadows on the walls. A twisting staircase leads up. There are some cells here. Exits are INTO TUNNEL, UP.
Examine cells
You see a series of lines scratched into the wall. It looks like someone was here for a looooong time. While the cells are not particularly clean, you do not see anything of value in them.
UP staircase
You climb up the stairs leading out of the dungeon. As you near the top of the staircase, you can hear some of the king’s guards talking from above you. Someone has left an old lamp here. Exits are UP, DOWN.
