 
 _setting_name Dungeon, Inside Castle 
 _setting_desc Lit only by scattered torches, The dungeon lies far underneath the castle.  Bandits and Thieves who find themselves there are met with cold stone walls and floors, with chains and bars restricting movement.  Guards patrol the corridors, keeping an eye out for any escape attempt or misdeed.  The only comforts afforded in the Dungeon are the piles of hay for sleeping.

 _self_act get skeleton 
 _self_say How much do you think this skeleton is worth? 
 _partner_say Do you really think the worth of a skeleton is worth discussing, bandit?  I think being locked up down here is slightly more important.  Speaking of which, what genius move did you make to end up here? 
 _self_say Right, you have a point. Also, I think I stole a bit too much goods to go unnoticed by the guards. 
 _partner_say Mm.  Perhaps that's why they decided to put us so close to each other.  I'm here for the same thing.  You can be sure the next time that guard comes through will be his last. 
 _self_act give skeleton to thief 
 _self_say I see. Thank you for your feedback. Maybe we could use this skeleton to craft a way out of here. 
 _partner_say You see this?  If we're caught helping each other, or even speaking for that matter I fear this will be both of our fates.  Try keeping your voice down and not being so obvious. 
 _partner_act get instruments of torture 
 _self_act get chain 
 _self_say Indeed, excellent point. I would just pretend to look chained. This would foul the guards, for now. 
 _partner_say Can't believe I'm here...  So stupid of me...  Where is that God forsaken guard already!  I have to get out of here.  Then again I don't even know which way the exits are..  Maybe those torches along the walls lead out of here. 
 _partner_emote growl 
 _self_act steal skeleton from thief 
 _self_say I'll take this skeleton off your back, I believe in your idea, and would follow your lead. Also, I meant fool the guards, not foul. 
 _partner_say I understood what you meant, do you take me for a bar wench?!  This is such a waste of my time.  First I get caught by the slowest guards in all of the land, and now I'm stuck here with you. 
 _self_say Thanks. About the guards, maybe we could make an escape if we study there patterns. Example, make a break during their lunch break, or go after the weaker guard during their shift.  
 _partner_say It pains me to admit that is such a good idea. 
 _self_say Thank you. Let's implement the agenda as soon as possible.
