 
 _setting_name Secret Tunnel, Inside Castle 
 _setting_desc this secret tunnel is like a vein to the castle.  It leads to many other rooms within the castle.  This includes passage to the dungeon, the throne room, the kings chambers, and a secret exit to the outside.  You must be careful because the tunnel is small to maintain its secrecy.  There are 5 different rooms to the castle that can be accessed through this room. This also proves as a good escape route as enemies with large armor will not be able to fit through.

 _self_say Hello. Are you hiding here? 
 _partner_say 'Ello your majesty, just heading up to check on your reserves. 
 _self_say Oh good! These tunnels are excellent for doing so. Are we doing alright on everything? How is the wine supply?  
 _partner_say After that last party you threw, looks like you're almost out.  We have a shipment rolling in tomorrow evening, and should have enough to last till then.  What are you doing down here?  I don't normally see you in the tunnels. 
 _partner_emote shrug 
 _self_say Checking them out, it's always good to make sure the tunnels are still clear and ready for use. To make sure they aren't being used by anyone that shouldn't be here, of course. 
 _partner_say Too Right too right, always on the lookout.  Its why you're such a good King.  Need anything special beyond the normal wine?  I know the Queen's birthday is just 'round the corner. 
 _partner_emote nod 
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say Ah yes. I am having her a new gown commissioned, but she does like a particular honey mead with blackberries. It would make her birthday all the more special if you could get a keg of it for her. 
 _partner_say Absolutely, its just the right season for that mead to finish its fermenting.  In fact, I know I have a couple kegs of the best stuff in the Kingdom, I'll bring it up here in the next couple weeks! 
 _partner_emote smile 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say Haha! Good! She will be extremely pleased with this. I do try to spoil her. When she's happy, she has the gardens made into the most beautiful places during the seasons. If she's not, they seem lackluster and makes me sad. 
 _partner_say Completely understand, my wife's the same way.  Happy wife happy life I always say.  I normally wouldn't bring this up, but I've been hearing some malcontents down at the tavern. Best be careful over the next few weeks for your food majesty.  I have heard rumors. 
 _partner_emote frown 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh dear! What is happening at the tavern that causes discontent? I will have to be very careful. How is your wife, by the bye? 
 _partner_say She's lovely these days.  I'm not quiet sure sir, just know that a few folks are upset with you for some reason.  Could be out of towners, I don't recognize many of them.  Just be on your guard sir, 'sall I'm saying. 
 _self_say I will do so, thank you for your honesty. I will reward this honesty of course. I am always too happy to take care of staff. A happy staff makes the castle a happier place. -- And I get poisoned a lot less.
