The long descent down the stairs seems to take forever as you travel deep below the castle. Your parents are kind monarchs who don't use the dungeons very often, although they are also kind enough to not execute criminals needlessly, so there are always a few poor souls down below.

"Halt!" one of the guards says when you finally reach the last step. "Prince Bubba, I'm sorry, I didn't see that it was you. What are you doing here?"

Lie, "My parents want me to see the prisoners, as part of my education."
Reply honestly, "I'm bored and I wanted to see the dungeons."

You can do all of them. It’s just the order of where you go first

Honesty is the best policy, at least when it'll keep us from getting into trouble.

"Well, you really shouldn't be here," the guard says. "But, if you stay back from the bars and let me accompany you, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad."

The cell doors are all thick wood with metal bands across them to keep them fortified. Small windows with bars let in a little light and air. You peek through them, but they are mostly empty. The few prisoners you see are lying on their cots or sitting in the corners of their cells. One man is different though. He looks through the bars directly at you and smiles.

"Hello, Your Highness," he says.

Reply, "Hello."
Look away and continue on.

[King Zultan]

Don't be rude, say hello back.

The man has long straggly grey hair and a matching long beard. He seems very agile, despite his age. He bows to you and smiles.

"My name is Amos. Pleased to meet you."

Ask, "Why are you in here?"
Say, "Guard, have this man whipped for his impertinence at addressing me with such familiarity!"

[King Zultan]

Ask, "Why are you in here?"

[Knightwing64]

Murder," he says sadly. "I was sneaking through a house when the owner came home. He had a crossbow. We scuffled and it ended up firing into his stomach. I feel bad about it, but that's life."

Amos seems like a nice person, despite his terrible situation. He tells you about his life as a thief, which was usually violence-free, except for that one pivotal night. The guard stands nearby, keeping an eye on things but not interfering with the conversation.

Ask, "If you're such a good thief, why don't you pick this lock and escape?"
Ask, "So, how do you walk so silently?"
Ask, "Why did you do it?"
Say, "A filthy murderer like you should be hung."

[King Zultan]

Ask, "Why did you do it?"
