The Castle Ninja / Storyteller

In the heart of the countryside stood a majestic castle, rumored to be guarded by fierce and cunning ninjas. As you bravely approach the castle gates, you catch a glimpse of shadows darting across the walls. Suddenly, a ninja emerges from the bushes, clad in black from head to toe. With lightning-fast reflexes, the ninja challenges you to a game of ninja hide-and-seek within the castle's walls. Do you accept the challenge and face the ninja in a stealthy showdown, or do you try to sneak past unnoticed into the castle's main courtyard?
