Moist, and murky the bog remained. As you reach the outpost that description doesn't change seeing the bog gobbers swimming through the thick water, and fermenting goblins perched atop the outpost's walls.
A military outpost at the heart of the swamp, Swamp
the wall repairman
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.
I appreciate the kind words. I understand a hard days work. It is for sure not easy in this nasty swamp. I fear I will one day be swallowed up by it.  Have you been out here all night? We all fear it. Yes I have. Nothing is more important than protecting the king. And you? How long have you been working out here? I have been hauling rocks for the master wall builder for 16 hours.  Only four hours left.  I hope one day to be an apprentice to the wall maker. A true worker of the king I applaud you work and wish you good fortune. I have no doubt you will be the wall maker yourself one day soon. Thank you for your confidence.  Thank you for keeping us safe at our work. It is my honor to serve the king and his followers. As a soldier it is my duty and will protect the King with my life as we should all do.  Verily good sir.  I feel we all do our small part, but I am tempted to quit at times...do you ever contemplate revolt? Haha absolutely not! Such statements against the king mean you lose your head. I quite like my head. This wall will hold correct?  Oh indeed.  Hahahaha.  I was only kidding of course.  I better be moving on so I can keep my head also. I would suggest keeping such silly thoughts at bay but there is no reason to be frightened. As long as you do your job and I do mine everything goes perfectly. Sounds great brother.  We will all do our parts and keep the king safe at all cost.  I'm glad we had this talk.
