Having accepted the challenge and realizing that the alcohol he had consumed earlier that morning was about to wear off, Krailos decided to leave the city as soon as possible so as not to spend all his money in the tavern. Of the two directions the undead fugitive could take, he chose Shor.

A few hours later, Krailos reached Shor.

"Yes, you've got a madhouse here," the lion remarked melancholically. "We're ready. Tell us what we're dealing with."
