{Lyrium Cleanup} Stripping away and disposing of red lyrium was dangerous work. Too much exposure and people started hearing things, not properly handled it could cause physical damage, and it particularly deadly to any mage who didn't keep their distance. So while Sam took time to help with removal, a lot of his efforts were put to aiding/supporting anyone who was feeling sick, needed urgent care, or needed to be removed from the Gallows. It was a slow process because no one could stay for extended periods, but it was getting done.
Every once in a while when he got some relief, Sam spent time outside the walls, taking in the sea air, trying his best not to overly think about where they were.
{Haunting and Statues} The Gallows reminded him of the Fallow Mire sometimes with the constant whispers and screams of those not quite there. Instead of possessed corpses and skeletons though they had animated bronze statues that wailed and odd... going-ons.
There were a number of times that a tool, a rock, or something else of smallish size would come floating around near him before dropping suddenly and giving him a start. Course there were a couple of close calls when something when flying towards his head and thankfully dodged either from someone yelling out or Fortitude buzzing in the back of his head. He's also had some trouble with getting locked in a room for short periods of time, and easily getting distracted to look over his shoulder when he thought he saw something - most of the time it ended up being Fortitude.
The statues were certainly a delight. And by delight he really meant they were terrible. It was easy enough to push them back, or find ways to block their progress, but the wailing, no one could listen to that for too long, and far more distracting then the voices you barely could make out. Everyone was sure to have ringing ears later and probably talking a bit louder.
"WHAT-?!" You're going to have to speak up over the noise.
