A rank maze of sewers that lie below the tower. They course with filthy ooze from the experiments of the mad king. Rats patrol its smelly walkways. Bones of treasure seekers lie riddled across the walkways, nibbled clean by the fat rats.

Why did I take the side road?  Who were those bandits that just robbed me?  I sure could use a glass of mead.  I hope the serving wench is pretty.
I think I took a wrong term.  This certainly doesn't *look* like the way to the castle... You are so right, my foolish friend! You have found yourself in the sewers. How did you manage to lose your way so badly? Ah, thank goodness you're here!  I've gotten, erm, a little turned around since I... well, I was robbed just a few hours again. I am sorry to hear that. Maybe you should find your way back. This sewer is quite dank with the remnents on the King's experiments. The rats are very hungry by the looks of what is left of these treasure seekers.  Knowing me, I would but wander deeper into this maze.  I don't even know how I wandered in here!  Maybe I was hit on the head a bit harder than I thought... I will walk with you. We can use this axe to knock away any overly interested rats on our way out.  It's good to have you around, friend.  Although, I'm curious to know how you found me!  I would have expected you to be up in the castle, tending to the rich lordlings.  Perhaps gettin' a sip of their fancy wines when they were otherwise occupied, eh?  Ahh yes. I have been very lucky! My job is very good. The lords of menner treat me well. That is why I am happy to run the occasional errand, even if it means coming to sech a retchid place as this sewer.  Tis most odd indeed that they would send you down here, even so.  I say, I don't recall you having that swath of cloth about yer neck afore... it looks a bit tight and... say is that blood there? It is simply a small bite from an overzealous rodent. Nothing to worry yourself over.  I-i-if you say so.  Mayhaps I'm merely jumpin' at shadows but... ye haven't been sent to wait on the king, now, have ye? My "friend". Do not worry yourself with such things that do not concern you. Some things are for more nasty than this infested tunnel you have found yourself in.
