Ah, so a kill box. It's a defense architectural term.
Avanyiss writes something else down on her smoldering clipboard, with a hole burned through several pages, as if nothing happened.
So, the idea is, you have a room required to be passed through on the way to an important area which has several clear lines of sight, and lines of fire, and very little cover. Guards are posted at those lines of fire and armed to be able to exploit it. It works best with... ahh... firearms, but it can work with bows, crossbows, slings, spellcasters, if you want it to. That way, if anyone passes into that area who's a hostile, it's a very easy fight. It's also a mandatory stop on the route to whatever important thing you're defending.
Oh, also you should get someone to look at these torch sconces. They're improperly affixed to the wall. If there was oil on the floor, or a gas leak, or a dust cloud, or you had gundust somewhere around here, you'd have massive problems. Obviously I'd recommend switching to safer arcane lighting, but if that's not an option, these sconces need to be better attached to the wall. Next floor! How many floors are there anyway?
>Check out the next floor up for safety problems and potential "accidents"
