The large cave is covered along the walls with bright torches.  A large hole has been carved in the ceiling of the cave, right above the ladder that descends into the underground cave.  On good bright days, sunlight directly surround the hole with the gold ornate ladder descending into the underground part of the cave.  On the walls of the cave the torches illuminate many ornate drawings and paintings mainly dealing with the history of Kings of the realm.

I torture the prisoners to get information from them. I love my job. All of the prisoners are afraid of me. I like to come up with new forms of torture.
I love coming to work! I wouldn't worry about how I am doing. You seem like a chipper guy. What do you do for work? The King has me chat with his subjects from time to time. Today is your time.  Wha-?! OUCH. GET AWAY FROM ME RIGHT NOW. The King is concerned that during your exploring you stumbled across some of his secret business. I am enjoying this already. Secret business? Like what? I explore for fun. I'm a people person. You and I are going to establish a rapport together. STAY AWAY FROM ME.  Give that back you idiot!  YOU LIKE TO TORTURE PEOPLE? NOT ME SIR. I AM A EXPLORER. I AM A RIDER. I am a reasonable man. So is the King. You got two choices. Die or wish you were dead! Which option do you prefer? How about.... the third option.... Beat you to death?
