[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5158597, member: 46559"] Tommy hesitates, looking around hoping someone else will speak up. When no one does, he tries to explain. [color=gray]"Well, uh, I'm not sure [I]what[/I] we've found, to tell the truth. It all started when we went to visit Vlad Turket, what, two weeks ago now? Or is it only one? Anyway, he lives where that Urton used to live, and we wanted to get a good look around the place, because after we deciphered Urton's book, that was where one of the secret tunnel entrances was. Er. Did I tell you about that? The book that the guards found in Urton's home when they arrested him, back when.
