A nondescript square building that has room for two guards that change shift every 8 hours.  There's a fireplace inside, food enough for a week and a large earthenware jug of water for cooking and drinking.

I am a guard who almost was executed. I make sure to always be around someone else. I practice with my sword every day.
Woah woah woah, what happened soldier?  My team was slaughtered in an instant. The orcs proved far too troubling.  When they breached the western wall last month, I was about to be executed before some knights came in and saved us, we weren't prepared, they moved in so fast! This isn't fair! That king should get off his high horse, and fight his own war he started. The orcs never bothered us still he provoked them.  I understand brother. For now we need to just stand strong. Princess Richard is due to return with his men in 3 weeks time, then we can take the fight to them! 3 weeks... I don't think we can make it for one!  If we give up hope, we won't make it all. It's hard, I know, but we need to stick side by side. do not count on the king, count on the man next to you, because if you have faith in him, and he in you, we will make it through this. Such charamisa you have... A-alright! I'll pull myself together! We will hold this position, against all odds, and if we die, you can believe we are taking a whole army of Orcs with us! Yes! I'll make sure  before I go down I take out 30 of them myself! Woah! a little excited there! Haha! Save it for the Orcs.  Ahh! I'm sorry! I'm just full of burning passion!
