[QUOTE="Express, post: 2763056, member: 19166"] [b]11. A Slight Detour[/b] The plan was a litle weak, but we had all agreed on it. We explained to Honora. She looked tired but promised to stay locked in the room with her brother. I hadnt properly thanked her for her help back at Gyger's. Id have to remember to correct that. Ideally, I would have taken Hennet to a Medani safe house. But the guild didnt have an outpost in Trolanport.
