There is a brief pause and then you hear the bar being lifted and the door opens a crack. An older man's eye peers out at your, looking you up and down, and behind you. Then the door opens wide. The old man is wearing a blue robe, it's hood back, exposing his head. Behind him are 3 similarly garbed people. An older woman, a young man and young woman. Everyone looks scared, tired and very dehydrated.
The room beyond looks like a small storeroom. Moldy, rotten boxes, a barrel, some pegs on the wall with more blue robes. Your observation of the room is interrupted by the older man who clears his throat.
"Ahem, dear adventuring guilds men. I am so very glad you are here. I am Lord Delmar Miles. My friends and I wish to leave this place immediately and I will pay you handsomely to return us to my estate not a couple of miles from here. Shall we consider it an agreement?" he says as he holds out his hand.
