The Stronghold, which from a distance resembles an ugly, jagged boulder, turned out to be even more repulsive up close: just a pile of tasteless gray stones that decided to compensate for the lack of any external appeal with their size. Typical architecture for the Voidlings. What else could you expect from them? However, perhaps the Stronghold once truly inspired awe. The last generations of lords turned it into a miserable monument to the Void. Although, according to rumors, some of the Stronghold's inhabitants still resisted the belief in the futility of all things. It's even surprising!
– Greetings, Lord Camille, – the Bloodsucker politely bowed his head. – Yes, I am Ottar, the healer. I arrived at your invitation. In my profession, it is important to maintain good physical shape, so I would prefer dinner. With your permission.
By "physical shape," Ottar meant the fact that he constantly forgot to eat while on adventures, and that is not good for his health. The fact that even in the Stronghold he was greeted by an old man no longer surprised the Bloodsucker.
In the company of soldiers, Ottar had to eat beer and porridge – not the best, but more than a decent dinner for a commoner.
Ottar recovers 1 Sanity.
After dinner, Ottar is escorted to an audience with Geoffroy du Charolais. The Marshal of Arrandor, a young man with traces of past battles on his face, sits behind a monstrously large oak table, holding a goblet of heavily diluted wine.
– Welcome, Ottar, – the marshal gestures for him to sit down. – Your mentor recommended you as a capable and courageous man, and if this is indeed the case, you will be of great use to my expedition.

- So, you and these... how do you call them... Steph and Tom, you three "worked" together? And you got 3 silver coins each? Ehh... I don't understand... 3 silver coins for the three of you for each "victim"? Or 3 silver coins each, that is, 9 silver coins for each "victim"?
- Ah yes, do you even have a name, or what?
