  • Orentha: Sorry to bother all of you. Word just came to me that you were successful in taking care of this beast in the sewers. I am Lawmaster Orentha and I just wanted to extend my thanks. It's not often that folks are willing to go to lengths and put their lives on the line for the honor of those fallen of the Crownsguard, and those within the Hall of the King, so I just wanted to say I appreciate that.
    Fjord: Of course. We appreciate the law in this town, and the services you provide. You can lean on us for any further needs you might have.
    Orentha: The Crown appreciates it, the people of the city appreciate it, and I appreciate it. Thank you.[9]
