#AtoZChallenge - "Quit the Battle, Brave Knight!"

Hi, everyone! I'm back! Still not done with that application, but a good deal closer :)
Wasn't that a fun aside with Dan? That's why I enjoy writing with him so much- he keeps me on my toes! Hopefully we'll have another full-length adventure for y'all sometime soon.

For those who are here for the first time, this is an interactive fiction adventure. I will write a scene every day, and my visitors will vote for where they want the story to go next, by leaving a comment on the post. You can start from the beginning here.

Q:
"Quit the battle, brave knight. Food awaits!" The words echoed through the hallway where Sir Andrew was industriously handling his two captors.
"This is no time for food! Or for quitting!" he shouted to the heavens, "We are trying to rescue the Queen!" He huffed as he lifted a heavy lid onto a conspicuously pink laundry basket that sat in a corner of the castle foyer, sealing one of his serpentine foes inside. He had tied the other snake into knots around an umbrella he'd found in the corner, and dusted his hands as he surveyed his work.
"Now, where do I find my Queen?"

Where do you think he should go?
Run further up the stairs toward the top of the tower.
Go 'Round the corner to see what other places might be useful.
or Try to Rouse some more support in the castle by finding the other prisoners.

Bombs away! You know the drill - tell me in the comments below what you think our brave Knight should do next, and I'll write the next scene when I get up in the morning! :)
