As you helped the old man break free of his chains he tells you how he
had been in the dungeon for over 50 years.
You find out that his name is Silas, and that the evil enchantress
imprisoned him.
Silas tells you how as a curios teen, he had entered the castle to
look around.
After giving the entire place a once over he had decided to take a
load off and sit in a chair.
He was not aware that the chair had a spell on it that made whom ever
sat in it stay in it 'til the magic words were spoken.
When the enchantress discovered him she ordered her army of tiny
rats to lock him in the dungeon.
