Sir Quintus the Sleeping Knight

Making your way up to the Royal Tower, you come to a grand hallway unlike you have ever seen. A faint perfume, mixed with the smell of cakes and fruit, floats through the air. Blue carpet runs over the stone floor as huge paintings and tapestries line the walls. 

Amidst the dripping regality to this place, a giant man in soldier's uniform stands guard in front an ornate pink door. As you tentatively step out from the stairway, a scratchy iron voice echoes through out the chamber.

Sir Quintus: "That's far enough... vile beast."

You tell yourself that you're following the knight's instructions out of respect, but its probably be because the man is really, really, big. After a few moments pass, another grumble passes by your ear.

Sir Quintus: "Step forth if you dare, villains. I'll cut down the lot of you."

Apprentice: "Wait, what?! I'm not moving, I swear! The Commander even said I was allowed to explore this area Stars Reach Castle. Don't kill me!"

The hulking mass of a knight does not flinch and continues to stand with his hand over the handle of his sword, as if ready to draw at a moments notice.

Quintus: "It was but a scratch your highness. That is why the God's blessed me with a second eye."

Apprentice: "Huh? Your highness?"

Sensing something is clearly off, you approach the mountain in armor with your hands raised and your best "please don't kill me" expression on your face. With the Knight unchanging you creep closer, and closer still. Finally within several meters of him, it becomes strangely apparent what's really going on.

Apprentice: (He's asleep? Hmm... I wonder what I should do?)

1. Quietly open the pink door.
2. Tap the knight's shoulder gently.
3. Shout "Wake Up!!" in his ear.

4. Just walk away and come back later when he's (hopefully) awake

I suspect any one of those three options will have the same result: Sir Quintus cutting the apprentice down with his sword before he even opens his eyes. He is clearly suffering from PTSD, and should be treated accordingly.

Keljyu is right. Best to just go around the poor guy. He clearly needs his rest after defending the kingdom.

Number 1. We know that it's a bad idea to wake up a bear when it's asleep. So I assume that waking up such a big guy isn't a good idea either :D
