The dungeon is in the very most bottom room of the Palace. Many have gone down to the dungeon through the trap doors inside the palace and have never returned. Walls are covered with spider webs and bones from previous challengers to the throne. The brick dungeon is dark and mysterious.
The Dungeon, Inside Palace
prisoner
challenger
I am a challenger to the current throne. I wan the king gone. I want to spread my influence everywhere.
Ha, wouldn't you like to know. Still a long way to go before the throne is mine. What did you do to end up down here? I too challenged for the throne...and failed. Now I await my death. Well, I'll be damned. I never knew there was a challenger before me. What happened? I was once an advisor to the king, and expressed a lack of faith in his ability to lead the kingdom. I attempted to turn the council of ministers to my side, but found no support. Well... I'll bet you know a thing or two that could compromise the king, since you were his advisor... Only on matters of economic policy. I was kept away from personal matters. Still... I could make a deal with you, in exchange for your freedom. I would be interested to hear that deal. I'm in here for all the wrong reasons - nobody could see that I was right! I'm sure... the king is stupid, between you and I. I'll give you this knife and turn a blind eye to the sound of ropes being cut if you help me overthrow the king? Power in numbers. Unfortunately, I am wearing metal shackles, and the torturer is nearby. Oh, I can distract him no problem. Beneath that mask he's an idiot, and probably asleep. And I will use the knife to pick the lock on my shackles!
