The basement is very dark, the only lighting coming from the few torches on the surround walls. There are four pillars in the middle of the basement with only 1 torch on the inside of each pillar as they face each other. In the middle of the room there's a small rug laying under a table with some loose scroll paper on it. The walls are also lined with cleaning supplies for the maids to use.

I am a castle guard and I stand watch over the armory.  I am good at following orders when I can remember them.  I hope to be promoted soon to guard the front gate.  My sword has never been used in a real fight before.
Yes. I need you to hold this shield for me. Sure no problem. Why aren't you holding it? That shield is enchanted with a spirit and when I was holding it the spirit kept talking to me. Can you hear it? No... Are you sure you - wait did it just say something? It might take a minute, the spirit is a child I think! How did a child's spirit end up in your shield? Is it calling for help? Yea I think so but I'm afraid of them dead ones! I don't think I want this anymore. I'm just trying to get my cleaning supplies Well thanks for trying, you're a good person. Sorry I can't help but this seems like something you might want to go see the witch about Yea that's a great idea! Come on I'll show you where she is
