Guardroom of the castle(d, n and e)<br>
<br>
You stand in a spartan guard room.  This seems to be the headquarters of the on-duty sergeant of the guard force for the castle.  A simple desk sits against one wall, and a weapon rack lines another.  A chair sits in front of the desk, unoccupied.  A large slate board covers most of the wall above the desk.<br>
The north door is open.<br>
The east door is open.<br>
The only obvious exits are down, north and east.<br>
