He says that he choose this location because the Jawlt Army keeps a military garrison near there, at the fork in the river.

When two other residents of the inn attempted to head upstairs to their rooms, and reached a step higher than the Pharaoh, one of the priests sent lightning bolts from his staff to knock them down. My army troops brought those two to the Ukko church for healing, and then evacuated the rest of the building, using the outside back staircase.
