[QUOTE="Don Incognito, post: 4680040, member: 81448"] Brynden leads you out of the bar and through various alleyways of Daunton's seedy underside until you reach what appears to be a two-story hovel.

Inside the spacious room are two men, and Brynden looks shocked; he appears to have expected more. The first appears to be a young man in his mid-twenties with lightly tanned skin.
