The thick moat is filled with murky dark water. It is very wide and surrounds the entire castle. Alligators and other dangerous creatures roam the moat, ready to warn away intruders.

I am a snake. Snakes are not regarded as important in the realm. I kill rodents and chickens.
I'm looking for any rodents or chickens to harvest. have you seen any  You will have to go to the farm if you want those. There is only algae here.  Algae? What is that?  It is the best kind of moldy seaweed, filled with nutritious fungus. Would you like to try?  Sounds painful for a snake like me. Surely... you have some kind of rodent somwhere?! All I see here is this electric eel. But don't eat it! Tell me more about this electric eel. I've never seen one!  Well he usually just floats around, staring aimlessly into the dark water. Quite the mysterious fellow How odd. How could such a creature sustain it's self in this depressing moat.  Perhaps he enjoys. I truly don't know how the alligators haven't attacked him yet.  What a lucky fellow. I would kill to have the divine power of electricity.  I think he actually enjoys the attention of being mysterious.
