 _setting_desc The battlements are on top of the castle, in between the towers. These walkways have raised walls to prevents soldiers from fall off them or being picked off by archers. The walkways have narrow slots carved out at regular intervals for archers to aim through with getting hit themselves. There are also wider slots at longer intervals with cannons stationed at them. Flush against the outside walls are short, long boxes for soldiers to place their extra weapons in when preparing for a seige.

 _self_persona I am often employed to be a soldier in someone's army. I am a very good show with my bow and arrow. I like the heat of battle. 
 _object_desc a bow : The bow is stained dark and the string feels supple to pull. 
 _object_desc a Arrow : The arrow is sharpebed in the way that could pierce the any thing. 
 _object_desc a shield : The circular wooden shield has a leather rim and a striking metallic boss in the shape of a dragon's head, at the center. 
 _object_desc an a treasure map : The map shows the forest and the river clearly labeled. It is marked with a mysterious black X. 
 _object_desc a map of the kingdom : The map is very old and wrinkled, with one corner slightly torn.  The paper is yellowed. 
 _object_desc a coin : The coin seemed old, rusted, and worthless. However, after closer inspection, you reveal the underlying intricate design of the priceless coin. 
 _object_desc a sword : The sword is so old, it has cracks all in it. 
 _self_say Do you have any idea why we were called up here? 
 _partner_say I was just going to ask the same thing. I'm thinking we may be attacking soon. 
 _self_say Attacking? Who could we attack all the way up here except for invaders?  
 _partner_say We can at least scout up here 
 _self_say I suppose, I surely hope we are not being attacked by... the nation in the north. 
 _partner_say Me neither. The nation in the north is incredibly strong. 
 _self_say They have such a strong army and comparable weaponry as well. They are likely the only real threat to us. 
 _partner_say I know. Their weaponry is the best in all the land. It would take a lot of skill and planning to defeat them.  
 _self_say I believe we have the superior strategy so I am not too worried. 
 _partner_say You're hopefully right. I wonder when the King will let us know why he called us up here for. 
 _self_say I might need to go ask, despite the repercussions.  
 _partner_say I would at least ask. I don't see any enemies up here at the moment around or looking down 
 _self_say Neither do I, but I can't imagine this was a false alarm, with the urgency of their order and all that.
