Room 86: Dim Hallway (West End)

This is the west end of a dim hallway in the castle dungeon area. The room serves as a connecting corridor between the dungeon (room 92), the throne room (room 83), and the east hallway (room 87). The room contains a cell door, a table with a candelabra, and a fancy chair. It features animated candle props and conditional entry behaviors based on the player's quest progress. If the player is being chased by a henchman (global175 is set), they will be pursued into this room from room 87.
