Inside of the murky basement, along the walls lay many hidden treasures of the castle. Long hidden wooden chests containing gold and other valuables, away from the eyes of the greedy, each chest is secured with a chain and a lock. There is many rats running around as well. In the air there is an unpleasant smell of dampness and the floors are dusty. There is a table  in the center on the room on which are piled many rat traps and rat poison. There are also some broken chairs set up near the wall, some missing a leg or two.

armed guardsmen
I am the guardsman to one of the noblemen in the kingdom. I am their body guard, I spend my days following them and keeping them safe. I am a diligent, perceptive person and also very bright and resourceful.
Sure. I am not busy. Yay! Thank you kind sir! Go fetch! RUFF RUFF. *wags tail* Ha ha. You are a silly little fellow. It is nice to have some company in this bleak place other than these dreadful rats! I like to chase them. They don;t like me that much. I tell you what. If you catch me a rat, I will make you my pet. Oh boy! I will get right on it RUFF RUFF! Good! Then you can be my noble companion down here and stand guard with me. I will protect you with my life too! I will take good care of you my friend! Yay! Does that mean you will give me food?
