Ah, the Great Lake!

Many a maiden fair have I enchanted there, singing songs of valour and beauty. I know a great spot overlooking the power plant. It might not sound very romantic to you, but trust me, it has a certain je ne sais quoi.

I have clearly strummed a little too hard this time, though. I mean, the Queen! THE Queen! How could I pass up an opportunity like that? That's a lot of trumpets.

And of course, this Queen happened to have a King.

A King with a dungeon.

A dungeon 'neath the Great Lake.

50 leagues 'neath the Great Lake, in fact (I counted how many times my cymbals clapped together while they were carrying me down here).

Father always said something like this would happen to me. He said, "BARIAN! YOU FORGET THIS MUSIC NONSENSE. YOU TAKE HAMMER AND YOU SMASH". He was the linguist in the family.

Well, I'm paying for it now. What I wouldn't give for a good night's sleep...

GOAL: Find the bed (barding is hard work)

Making noise attracts enemies.

Playing your instrument makes the most noise of all, and activates traps.
