Opening the large stonework doors at the top of the grand staircase reveals the prized artifacts stored within the top floor of the palace. Inside are trinkets and baubles from far off lands, souvenirs from expeditions traversing across the entire realm. Large animal hides, beautiful tapestries, intricate statues of mythical animals, and other treasures hang upon thick oaken scaffolds. A thick coat of dust covers much of the treasure, suggesting a long absence of human contact or disruption.

I own this land that the indolent soldiers are camping on. They have been here all summer. If I had known, I would not have sown any crops this spring. Now we are approaching harvest time and my fields are trampled. I am not sure how my family will survive this fall. I have worked my whole life for this land, and now it is ruining me.
Certainly this place can get my mind off my trampled fields! Oh my pumpkin, I can't believe you took me to the palace!  I love you so very much! Anything for you, needed to get away from the crops for a while. But you grow them so well! Typically yes, but with all the soldiers around stomping as if they have no cares in the world the yield will not be great this harvest. Oh no hubbykins!  What are we going to do sugarlump? Sigh...hope they leave soon and for now distract ourselves with this excursion. Well, I could cook you a nice meal to take your mind off things, what would you like? Anything with deer would suite my tastes quite well. Wonderful!  We can return to the inn whenever you want, and I'll go to the market and rustle up some for us right away. Whenever you feel satisfied with browsing the wares I am ready to go my dear. Let us be off then and fill you up pumpkin!
