Grungy and damp, a hole in the ground filled with remains of the fallen. A pungent odor rises from the opening, warding off anyone nearing the area. Ivory spikes with brownish red tips line the outside of the pit.

I am surrounded by traitors. I have become one of them to learn about their plans to overthrow the king. I fear I'm starting to see their points though.
I would never try to poison the king. Heh, playin' the innocent, are you?  I've got a dozen witnesses that saw ye slip that vial of acid into the king's favorite wine.  You can tell me know or... I can have a bit of fun with ye first. I have only been trying to save my King. The witnesses lie. They are the traitors. Don't you lie to me, you dog! I would never lie. I have been spying on the spies. Although I am not sure they are wrong. Spying on the spies, eh?  What nonsense talk is this? They have been plotting against the King because of his unfairness towards the peasants. I was trying to save him but now.... Ha, your lies are flimsy things indeed if thats the best ye got.  Only God could --is that... an angel?! An Angel here to save me from this earthly torture and take me from this pit. I've... I've made such a mistake.  God must be on yer side if an angel be here!   We must work together. I just don't know if we should save the king or kill him. I've served the king all me life.  Surely there's sommat we can do ta save him?
