Run down and smelly, the barracks houses a dozen of the king's guardsmen.  It's made of wooden slats nailed together somewhat hastily, and the brisk air from the outside whistles through some small cracks between the panels.  There are six beds in an open sleeping quarter, with a wooden chest at the end of the bed where the guardsmen store their personal belongings.

I regularly patrol the castle to ensure the royal family's safety. I rotate out along with my fellow guardsmen to make sure I'm always well rested enough to be vigilant. I also live in a cottage on the castle's grounds with my family.
Hello fellow guardsman, how goes your patrol tonight? All is well in the Kingdom. At least on my patrol Say, do you know why there is a wench lying on one of the beds here in our barracks? I think Pete brought her home in a drunken stupor. Good old Pete! That is something he would do! What a character. He always gets the scary ones too, this one is missing a tooth. At least she's no threat like those ogres we faced last week. I think I can put away this shield and finally get some rest. Though the smell in here is worse than ever! Its always bad, it's even worse when it gets warmer out. It seems like there is another stench I haven't smelled before. I think it's coming from inside my helmet. Here, I'll remove it. Can you take a look inside and see if anything's in there? Did you put your lunch in it or something? Not that I know of. Look closer, there might be a strange creature that crawled in there. Is that a stink bug
