Room 83: Castle Dungeon Cell
This is the interior of a castle dungeon cell where Rosella is held captive. The room contains a skeleton (bones), a whip attached to the wall, chains securing the wall, an ominous machine, a high window, and a locked door. The room connects to the castle throne room (room 86). The cell has two states based on game progress: initially the door is locked (global109 < 5), but after progressing through the escape quest, the door becomes unlocked (global109 >= 5). When global109 equals 99, the player can escape through a secret passage. If entering the room for the first time (global109 = 0), the guard escorts Rosella back to her cell.
