The prisoner's cell is incredibly dreary and dark. The walls are black and made of cobblestone. The atmosphere and smell are damp and repugnant.
Prisoner's cell, Dungeon
the prisoner
ghost
I am a ghost that haunts a castle. I do not recall how I came to exist. I make noises when I sense someone in my vicinity.
I can hear you fine. You are not afraid of me? Not really.  Being alone in this cell is more frightening to me. I understand. It is lonely being a ghost. I have wandered the halls of this castle for a very long time and few will speak with me. Most just run in terror. Why are you here? Tis my own fault.  I stole some pork from the market.  I was starving and it smelled so good.  Generally I don't break the law, but I was so very hungry that my hunger overruled my good sense. It should not be a crime for a man to be hungry. Sadly, in this kingdom, the penalty is hanging. But perhaps I can help you. How could you help me, ghost friend?  I would be truly thankful for any help.  I do not want to be hung or die in this dank cell. I know every inch of this castle and I can watch the comings and goings of everyone. If we can figure out how to get you out of this cell I can get you to freedom without being seen. Oh, kind sir ghost, that would be amazing!  How can we manage to get out o the cell though.  Even that maggot is trapped in here, it seems.  I have an idea. If you drop from your window ledge to the one below, inside is an old, unused torture chamber. If you make it, we can get you out from there. If not, you will surely die from the 500 foot fall, but it's better than sitting here, don't you think? At least I have a chance to survive, no such chance falling from the hangman's rope. Agreed. Better to try and have a chance at freedom. Do you have anywhere safe to go if you escape? My village is far away, I came close to this market seeking work and  when I didn't find any, wound up stealing the pork. I think I shall be safe if I go home and cut off my hair to change my appearance.
