I'm writing a simple Japanese skit for my class and there is a place where an
ancient samurai needs to speak a few sentences of Classical Japanese.

I can mostly make the sentences, but it seems weird to not have endings like ね
or よ in the end. Did Classical Japanese have these casual speech endings?

Also, I presume that questions in CJ also used か? I couldn't find any
information on this by googling.

Casual Speech Particles in Classical Japanese
According to my knowledge, Classical Japanese like Samurai's language did not
have casual speech endings. And CJ sentences should adjust to CJ speech
endings.

For example, "ここはどこだろうね"="Where is it here?" will be something like
"ここはどこでござるか?"

This is very complex even for Native Japanese speakers, so it would be better
asking to Native Japanese directly instead of googling it.
