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 am the staircase that leads from the Great Hall of the castle up to the 2nd floor. I am made of solid stone. The King walks upon me every day.
Well you're in luck. I am a great stone staircase and I lead directly to the second floor of the castle. If you walk this way, be on the lookout for the King. Okay, but I have a couple questions for you. First why watch for the King? The King walks up and down this staircase every day, so you are likely to meet his acquaintance! Have you brought a gift for him? No I haven't but why should I do that? It is customary. Since you haven't brought something, perhaps you can offer something you find lying around and pretend. What are you looking for at the top of the castle anyway? I am meeting a friend up there for lunch. My friend very classy. This staircase only leads to the second floor, but if you need to get to the top, there is some cement, stone, and water here - perhaps you can build your own way! Good idea for a staircase. But I can't be bothered with such primal activities. I am a noble. I see. Perhaps there is another way? You can climb up my stairs to the second floor and take a look around. Okay I will shout down to let you know what it looks like. Very well. I will be here, where I always am. Waiting. Alright it looks like there are more stairs up here Staircase, so I might have only needed to walk on you to achieve my goal!
