[QUOTE="pacdidj, post: 5253456, member: 86793"] Having left some time ago to go check on her nephew down at the hospital, Auntie Mab returns to the tavern looking tired and bedraggled from the long walk down to Saint Jeronel's. A small brown rat follows her in, leaving a trail of black soot in its wake. The elderly woman wipes her brow with a faded floral-print handkerchief, and mutters to herself, [SIZE=1][COLOR=Pink]"Now where are all these lucrative adventures Luran promised?
