The tower base has a path of cobblestone leading to the entrance. Two torches are lit with large blazing fires. Most of the tower base is covered in moss.

I came from the fertile valley when I was conscripted. The king needed strong farmer's sons to fight in the war. I am very unhappy here in the cold, damp, rainy north. I miss my friends and my dog. I hope to go back to my father's farm when the war ends.
Hello general. I am glad to serve you at the tower base. But I am eager to get back home to my father's farm in the valley. When will we be leaving? Not for quite a while, soldier.  I understand general. But I miss my friends and my dog. I am a simple farmer's son, who is not used to the cold damp rainy north. I'm sorry, soldier, but you should've been ready for that when you joined the front. Very well general. I will light myself a small torch for the path with this moss. Good idea, but hey, the harder we fight the earlier we can go back to our families.  Yes sir! I will use it as motivation against the enemy. That's what I like to hear, boys! 10-4 thank you sir! Let's kick the enemy's butt and march up this cobblestone path! Sounds good, now let's go! You are the best general a soldier could ask for. I am proud to do battle with you. Onward! It's good to see that I have such strong, motivated soldiers.
