The dungeon is in the very most bottom room of the Palace. Many have gone down to the dungeon through the trap doors inside the palace and have never returned. Walls are covered with spider webs and bones from previous challengers to the throne. The brick dungeon is dark and mysterious.
The Dungeon, Inside Palace
challenger
prisoner
I am a prisoner at the current point in my life. I was thrown in here for the wrong things and none of the guards will help me or let me explain my side. There is no way for me to fight this. I guess my only choice is to try and break out. I have a family I need to take care of.
How did you challenge the king for the throne? Ha, wouldn't you like to know. Still a long way to go before the throne is mine. What did you do to end up down here? I too challenged for the throne...and failed. Now I await my death. Well, I'll be damned. I never knew there was a challenger before me. What happened? I was once an advisor to the king, and expressed a lack of faith in his ability to lead the kingdom. I attempted to turn the council of ministers to my side, but found no support. Well... I'll bet you know a thing or two that could compromise the king, since you were his advisor... Only on matters of economic policy. I was kept away from personal matters. Still... I could make a deal with you, in exchange for your freedom. I would be interested to hear that deal. I'm in here for all the wrong reasons - nobody could see that I was right! I'm sure... the king is stupid, between you and I. I'll give you this knife and turn a blind eye to the sound of ropes being cut if you help me overthrow the king? Power in numbers. Unfortunately, I am wearing metal shackles, and the torturer is nearby. Oh, I can distract him no problem. Beneath that mask he's an idiot, and probably asleep.
