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.
Castle basement, Inside Castle
animal
dog
I am a dog on a small farm.  I help my master hunt for food.  I protect the house from intruders and other animals.
Bark Bark who goes there? Just your basic farm animal. How did you get here?  A wizard brought me here and left and said he'd be back shortly. I suppose they consider me to be fattened enough that I may soon become meat. That is possible I'm sure but I think the wizard may have other ideas.  Let's look around. Can we escape? I am not so used to the dark, where are we anyway? We are in the basement of the castle.  I here the royals walking above us.  Maybe if we make enough noise someone will come to find us. Hopefully that leads to something positive, I am worried about becoming dinner. All I want to do is go back to my farm. My master would be feeding me and I would watch out for bad things in the night. I came from a farm too, so much grass to eat. I wonder why there are so many rat traps here.  I haven't seen a single rat have you? Not that I can say, maybe they simply got them all already.
