The staircase is spiral and made of stone. The stone is smooth and cold from years of friction. The staircase reaches multiple levels of the tower and is the only way up or down.

I run the Gold Calf Inn.  I enjoy the crowds that frequent the bar.  I am a jolly person that tries to be everyone's friend.
Ah, come on! This place isn't so bad. What makes you want to get away from here? You know I follow all the rules of the king, but I don't agree with all of them, I despise the king and want to move away as soon as I can. Listen. We've all got problems in this life. The King taxes my business, his royal guards bust up my furniture and assault my patrons, but what choice do we have? If we try to fight everyone we don't agree with, we'll end up in a much worse spot than we are now. It doesn't matter how far you run.. there's always someone waiting to crush you under their boot heel. I guess you are right, I really needed to hear that. Don't worry. Everything's going to work out, you'll see. By the way, I managed to stash a cask of ale in the basement of this old tower before the guard raided the Gold Calf. If you don't mind, I could really use the help rolling up these stairs! Sure why not, I've got nothing better to do. Ha, that's the spirit! I knew keeping you around was going to pay off. Watch your step, now. These old stairs are steep. oops, let me get that for you. Eh? Oh... well seeing as you're helping me out, why don't you keep it? Oh, well thanks. You are awefly sweet you know. I kinda like you. Don't get too excited, it's only a single gold coin. You won't get far on that these days. Ah, but listen to me. I'm starting to sound like a cynical old man. C'mon, help me down the steps before I drop everything else on the way. I am thankful for the coin, thank you. Would you want to hire me so I can save some money to travel to some place great?
