The solider called Dansom, a heavily bearded man in chain armor and a much patched cloak, leads you back downstairs, to the "ground level" of the tower (the main entrance being a level above this one). The walls are thicker here, and all sorts of barrels and crates are stacked against the walls...supplies of food, drink, oil and weapons. There are no windows or arrowslits, the place lit only be oils lamps in wall cressets. There are a score of bunks in the room, most of them unoccupied, though it seems a couple of off-shift shoulders are catching some sleep.
