These apartments are cramped and dim, smelling of incense. You cannot find the Mystical Mordimer Kane (or just "Mordy") without pushing your way past several curtains of cloth or beads. At one point, a rat squeaks under your foot and scurries away. When you find Mordy, he is staring intently into a crystal ball. "The last person to show up unannounced is having a very bad day," he says without looking up.
You ask what happened to the last person.
"You just stepped on him. If you're a poor student, you'll get the same treatment. I hope you brought coin," he snaps.
