The battlements are on top of the castle, in between the towers. These walkways have raised walls to prevents soldiers from fall off them or being picked off by archers. The walkways have narrow slots carved out at regular intervals for archers to aim through with getting hit themselves. There are also wider slots at longer intervals with cannons stationed at them. Flush against the outside walls are short, long boxes for soldiers to place their extra weapons in when preparing for a seige.

I am often employed to be a soldier in someone's army. I am a very good show with my bow and arrow. I like the heat of battle.
I have heard nothing. The generals like to keep us commoners in the dark. Of course, of course. I suppose I meant to say if you;ve heard any rumors. Only that the tides of war approach. I myself cannot wait - I love the heat of battle. I myself can not relate. I love only the gold that comes with battle. Perhaps it is because you must face the enemy - I may stay back in safety? It's just a job, my man.  Have you a family to send your gold to? No sir. I save it a way. One day I'll run away from this fight and work a farm I earned. Perhaps this next battle will be the last and you may finally settle down? Aye, if we survive. What will you grow on your farm? Watermelons! I love the things, can't get enough!
