Damp and dingy, the torture chamber contains almost nothing other than some shackles on the wall and a knife. There are no windows. The walls are made of solid concrete and the floor made of wood. Large dark stains are on the floor.
Torture Chamber, Dungeon
prisoner
castle guard
I am a castle guard and I stand watch over the armory.  I am good at following orders when I can remember them.  I hope to be promoted soon to guard the front gate.  My sword has never been used in a real fight before.
Ha, ye'll not be gettin far there, scum!  No one's made it out of this place without Johnny the Skinner 'aving a crack a 'em first! I'll skin the Skinner if I have to. Yer not makin' it any easier fer yerself, laddie.  Even if ye made it past me, there's 20 other guards outside this room.  Ye'd not make it but ten footlengths. You're right, it's pointless. I'm not supposed to even be in here. I was wrongfully imprisoned. Huh.  You and everyone else that's passed through these walls.  But I've a mind ta here a fairy tale - how is it you were put in this here place. My wife was found dead, thought to have swallowed poison. I was accused of her murder, but they ain't got any proof.  Hm, well the King can be a fair minded man when he's kept away from the bottle.  I'd say yer odds are fairly even as to hav'n a sober audience fer ye ta tell yer tale.  Seems a might fishy that there was even poison in yer house though. My wife was a very unhappy lady. She had hinted to me that she didn't enjoy life after having our three children. I suspect she bought that poison and ended it all herself. Well, can ye at least have a neighbor lady speak on yer behalf?  Not that I've much of a head fer bandying words about ta prove a point, but couldn't hurt ta have another voice on yer side. My wife's sister was our only neighbor, and she hated me. She's the one who accused me of the murder.  Ah, well, that do be puttin a wrinkle in things, and no mistake.  Still, it do be speakin ta yer character that ye haven't stabbed with that there knife.  Don't suppose ye'd be willin ta hand it over? No, I'm sorry sir, but this is my only chance to escape this terrible chamber.
