A golden throne be-speckled with many precious stones. It glints in every eye that falls upon it. It is 20 ft tall and 5 ft wide. Swords from enemies of the king line the back of the chair.

guard
I am one of the royal guards. I protect the castle and my king from threats. No one will enter the castle on my watch.
So far so good, but make sure you stay in your place! What is your business here? Easy there. The king asked me to check with you. You know about the rumors of an attack  I know of every threat. I am here to protect the kingdom! Yes, I know! That's why I'm asking you how things are looking so I can report back to the king.  I see... So far, it has been empty here. Well that's good news. Why are you so on edge then? If I am doing my job right, my guard will never be down. Good point. We'll the king will be happy to know things look good so far. Hopefully the rumors are just that and nothing is coming. I hope so as well, but if not, I will be ready. I know you will be. Hey what's with the stones? They are decorations for the throne. I see maybe they shouldn't be sitting around so loose where anyone can take them.
