A grey, stone section of the tower.  There's a small rectangular cut out in the wall to allow archers to shoot through the hole at invaders.  It's a generally hot and stifling place.

I am a soldier of His Majesty's Army. The King has selected a few of us to be Knights. I am very proud to fight for my land. We will be strong and defeat the enemy.
Have you come with news form the outlying villages?  Have you caught sight of the enemy? I have much news to tell you, yes. If only you would offer me food or a bed for the night in exchange, I can tell you much news. Certainly man!  But I see smoke in the distance, the enemy is almost upon us! So hand over whatever rations you have, and I will tell you of the approach! Here man, take it!  I can hear the screams of the refugees as they run towards us! There are forty men on horseback and ten on foot. They have torches and crossbows. However, I noticed upon running up the hill side that they have a weakness in their left ranks, as some of the horses are badly injured. Perhaps this information is of use to you. Thank you for the food, good sir. Excellent!  Thank you citizen - you may have saved many of your kith and kin.  Seek shelter now, this may get ugly. I... I want to fight! I heard soldiers receive housing and hot meals, is this true? I am willing to take up arms against the invaders. Here lad, take this bow, and do your best to hit the enemy.  If you prove yourself, I can vouch for you and have you enlisted in the King's company. Thank you, kind solider! I will fight valiantly along side you. In the name of the King! FOR THE KING! They're approaching. I see the men upon horse back have broken ranks with the foot soldiers and are fast approaching. Maybe three or four have gone down, but the bulk lot is charging us with flaming arrows.
