Dr. Frankeneblin's castle is situated in a thick, overgrown forest; off of a road nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the forest. Unless you're a tiny gnome that is. At the end of the long causeway is a locked wrought-iron gate, with a sign that says: "Knock" The dreary architecture and look of the place is not intentional, due mostly to the age of the structure. It was the best deal he could get for a castle, but even then he doubted that the shifty kobold owned the castle. Especially after he had to clear out what remained of a goblin horde, the remains of which now staffed the castle, and they were much more friendly now. The castle is warmly lit, except for strange blue lights that occasionally shine through the lower windows, followed by a mad cackling. The furniture on the inside is mostly rotted through, and piled up in the hallways or empty rooms. Signs outside of the castle entryway say "Help Wanted, Inquire Within"

Ak-Mun strolled up to the castle gates and read the sign. The man stood around six feet in height and was garbed in a black cloak decorated with many dark trinkents and weapons on his form. He'd lower his head while taking his right hand to beat of the gate. He wondered how someone would even hear him knocking on the gate. Needless to say, Ak-Mun needed a place to hideout and this place seemed to be what he needed despite possibly being own by a cook.

It wasn't long before a shuffling could be heard past the gate, and it swung open, a rather portly goblin zombie standing next to the opening mechanism. He gestured to the stranger to folow him across the long causeway. The journey, unless the 2nd Face should choose to leap off, would be uneventful.

Igrik would shamble up to the place. After his previous master, a Vampire was literally mobbed to death, he has been looking for work. He strides up to the scene and says:
"Ith thith ze plathe to vork in.... Thientific ways?"
His lisp would speak greatly about service as an assistant and technician.

The gate was left open, no doubt by the incompetence of the goblin zombies. In the distance, a tall man and a fat undead goblin could be seen, about to enter the castle proper.

Ak-Mun would continue on, acknowledging his surroundings. Such a beautiful sight, something no illusion could ever recreate outside of the mind. It was a job and he could do a lot of good for his cause here despite being who he is. That said, he would notice someone behind him. Ak-Mun shut off his physical connection and his mind went back towards the gate revealing Igrik. Ak-Mun would snap back to reality and stop to wait on this man.

From one of the many windows on the front of the castle, a helmeted face watched the newcomers approach. He turned to look at the motley assortment of riders behind him.
"Looks like the good doctor finally has some company, we may have an assignment soon boys, so prep the wolves."
He had met Dr. Frankeneblin during his travels, and while he did not care one bit about the "plight of the undead" he did care that the Doctor was powerful, had money, and was able to acquire a castle that Eli could use in pursuit of his own goals in the area. All he had to do was occasionally provide the Doctor with what he required and he could do what he wanted.

The goblin would continue to lead the Second Face onwards toward the castle, irrelevant of whether he stopped or not. The goblin's capability to reason was much diminished by his death, so he did not notice that his charge had stopped and continued on to the castle, opening the front door and holding it open until the pair reached it. Inside, Dr. Frankeneblin sighed and shook his head at the goblin's incompetence.

Igrik would say
"I have heard there ith thientific buthineth to be done, yeth? I am your men."
They way he said "men" rather than "man" would peak the interest of anyone nearby.

The gate was already open when he got there. This, unfortunately, led Oddic to stand and debate whether to follow the sign's directions or just walk on in. After a few minutes of inner turmoil, he quickly knocked and rushed through to the castle proper.
Why did he wake up in the brush about a mile down the pathway? He couldn't remember. Actually... Oddic couldn't remember anything. Besides his name, of course. And that he was human. He was also assuming that he had been robbed, since... well...
He was stark naked. Nothing to protect him from the wind or enemies save his russet hair and emerald eyes. He certainly didn't feel strong, either.
He hoped the people here would be nice enough to at least loan him some clothes.

"Sure... but maybe you should serve the guy who owns the place first." Ak-Mun spoke to Igrik.
Without notice to Oddic, Ak Mun continued on to the castle, "So, Igrik, what do you do and was that your accent or did you say men, as in more than you?"

The goblin had made it in and a scream of exasperation could be heard outside.
"Where are the guests!? You left them out there!? Fool!!"
A blinding flash of green light could be seen through the doorway and windows.

An armored figure appeared at the door, clad in plate, with a hefty longsword in one hand and a shield emblazoned with the visage of a wolf. Behind several more knights, dressed similarly, could be seen.
He gestures with his sword at the two closest to him.
"You two, hurry through, the Doctor awaits inside."
He marched past the pair, his knights allowing just enough space for them to walk by, and stopped the naked running man.
"Halt! What is your business here? And why are you naked?"

Oddic wasn't able to stop in time, and bounced roughly off the towering knight. His hands were a bit preoccupied trying to keep his virtue intact, so he landed arse first on the wood of the bridge.
Oddic winced, "Sorry, sorry!"
Looking up at the helmet as it gleamed in the light, he answered "I... Don't know. To both. I-I think I've been robbed!"

The knight snickered at the poor boy's misfortune, removing his helmet as he did so, his face was set hard, battle-worn after a lifetime of conflicts.
"Then it sucks to be you. Or it would, were we not in need of more intelligent help than goblins. Tell me boy, do you possess any skills?"

Getting to his feet, gingerly, Oddic thought for a moment, crossing his arms and tapping his chin before remembering he was still quite nude and hurriedly covering himelf again.
"I have no clue, to be honest. Probably not, the way this day has been going,"
Worriedly, before the intimidating man could send him away, Oddic quickly added "But I'm willing to work hard! At least until I figure out what to do next. And I bet I can learn whatever you need me to! Besides-" he nudged his chin at where the green flash was before "-I'm sure I can do better than that"

"You literally just have to be alive to do better than those idiots, but you make a good point..."
He could use a squire, and such an unseeming lad could perhaps help him get in contact with his daughter.
"I doubt the Doctor has a use for you beyond as a dead body, but I could perhaps use a squire. It won't be easy, and I can not promise you will be treated well. But you will be paid, and we will provide you with gear and food. Maybe one day you'll become a full Wolf Knight."

Oddic didn't need long to reach a decision.
He was hungry, nude, and still had some twigs in his hair. Not to mention the splinter he could feel nestling itself into his backside.
The knight looked well-fed, well-trained, and most of all well-traveled. If nothing else, Oddic thought he could at least learn not to get killed.
Plus, that goblin.... thing he saw earlier didn't give him high hopes for the sort of work he'd be given by the owner of the castle.
"I really don't see how I could say no. I don't think I know anything about being a squire, but I'm sure after a few tries I can figure out how to polish armor. If you'll have me, that is!"
A breeze swept up, reminding Oddic of his bare under-region. He shifted uncomfortably.

"Excellent, then get yourself inside. First order of business is to get you clothed."
He turned and strode back into the castle, assuming that the boy would follw him in.
