Description:

"No one knows where he came from or how he got the Hammerites to let him dig in the recently discovered ruins of an ancient temple. 
There is also rumors that the local Thieves guild has struck a bargain with DrDragon to see that no one gets too curious or too close 
to the castle. The castle is full of tension and everyone's ready to come apart at the seams. It's not even safe for a guard to wander the outer grounds. 
The Hammerites are getting more agitated by the hour since
they have received nothing from the Dr for their trouble and their spy working in the castle hasn't been heard from for weeks. But the a
man who claims to be the spy's brother gives you a map of the castle. "Sure I'll check on your brother for you. As long as he doesn't 
slow me down...you think to yourself."

Known bugs:
At certain points of the game the frame rate can get slow if you don't have a very fast system. I have an ATI 8500 w/128mb and a 1.5G Athlon and it worked fine. But a beta tester with a GeForce4 Ti4200 and 1.2 GHz Athlon noticed the 
degradation in some parts of the game.
Be careful of going to the top of the castle to look around. The view is good 
but save first. It may crash.
Some sounds may cause your speakers to echo or crackle. This seems to only 
happen near the two thieves at campfire.
