 
 _setting_name The Barracks, Outside Castle 
 _setting_desc Run down and smelly, the barracks houses a dozen of the king's guardsmen.  It's made of wooden slats nailed together somewhat hastily, and the brisk air from the outside whistles through some small cracks between the panels.  There are six beds in an open sleeping quarter, with a wooden chest at the end of the bed where the guardsmen store their personal belongings.

 _self_persona I regularly patrol the castle to ensure the royal family's safety. I rotate out along with my fellow guardsmen to make sure I'm always well rested enough to be vigilant. I also live in a cottage on the castle's grounds with my family.

 _self_say Hello fellow guardsman, how goes your patrol tonight? 
 _partner_say All is well in the Kingdom. At least on my patrol 
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say Say, do you know why there is a wench lying on one of the beds here in our barracks? 
 _partner_say I think Pete brought her home in a drunken stupor. 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say Good old Pete! That is something he would do! What a character. 
 _partner_say He always gets the scary ones too, this one is missing a tooth. 
 _partner_emote laugh 
 _self_act remove shield 
 _self_say At least she's no threat like those ogres we faced last week. I think I can put away this shield and finally get some rest. Though the smell in here is worse than ever! 
 _partner_say Its always bad, it's even worse when it gets warmer out. It seems like there is another stench I haven't smelled before. 
 _self_act remove helmet 
 _self_say I think it's coming from inside my helmet. Here, I'll remove it. Can you take a look inside and see if anything's in there? 
 _partner_say Did you put your lunch in it or something? 
 _self_say Not that I know of. Look closer, there might be a strange creature that crawled in there. 
 _partner_say Is that a stink bug 
 _self_emote smile 
 _self_say I'm glad that's all it is. With all these attacks lately, I've grown a bit paranoid. I sometimes even think something is going to jump out of that chest over there.
