1. Gatehouse, 2nd Floor

area is lined with 12 bunks, arranged to allow defenders access to the arrow slits in the exterior wall. There are 12 trunks for the guards' personal belongings, one beneath each bunk. They are not locked, and they contain nothing of value. There are weapon racks on the east and west walls, next to the doors, with sword, dagger and crossbow for each guard housed here. Down the middle of the floor, in a north-south line, is a ten foot wide pattern of holes cut into the floor. The holes are large enough for the guards to fire their weapons into the lower level of the gatehouse. Against the north wall there are two vats of oil, located to either side of the hole pattern in the floor. Each vat hangs over a loaded brazier, ready to light. Wood is stacked next to the vats to fuel the fire for the boiling oil. The braziers are mounted on wheels, to be rolled along the floor next to the hole pattern. Once the brazier is in position, the vat can be tipped, pouring the hot oil through the holes in the floor and into the lower level of the gatehouse.
