Floyd ] Floyd | Each year on Samhain night, Ghosterington Manor, the lair of legendary Floyd | (and dead) bad poet, futurist and occultist Vigilance Ghosterington, Floyd | materialises atop the same lonely cliff. It stays there for three Floyd | hours, tempting adventurers to brave its dangers before disappearing Floyd | at midnight for another year. It is said that Ghosterington's last Floyd | four poems - the worst he ever wrote, now worth millions of dollars - Floyd | are still inside the manor. But nobody has lived to bring them out. Floyd | Floyd | This year is your year, for you are the famous adventurer and treasure Floyd | finder Jubilee Grief, and you're determined to survive the dangers of Floyd | Ghosterington Manor, find the poems, sell them and retire as a (more) Floyd | famous millionaire.
