"Frequently, I mean...this is an Inn, so everyone figured this would be the place to look for supplies. Unfortunately, the owners had locked themselves up really good here and didn't allowed anyone in, afraid of what might happen.", Caius started the story.

"Me and my family got to the city after a long journey from High Rock, in which we encountered several of those damned creatures. I picked up both Farm and Annabelle on the way here, but our main goal was to head for the imperial city. Well, as you can see things turned out not so good for us...", he took a sip of the mead he had poured for him. Carolina was paying close attention to the story and even if he was not close, Ali was paying attention as well.

"We decided to enter the city, since we were running low on supplies and my little daughter wasn't feeling well. I believe that we couldn't have chosen a worse time to enter the city, it was chaotic, it seemed to be one of those hells that common folk like to tell about. Either way, it was our only chance, so we entered it. I had with me 5 worthy and battle-proven imperial soldiers, one of them was my eldest son, Darius...", the old imperial took another sip and a deep breath.

"We were attacked. People thought that our caravan was one of merchants, bringing food...despite the soldiers best efforts, the common folk were in much greater numbers, so me, my wife, our daughter and soon, along with Annabelle and Farm escaped, leaving our goods behind. My daughter was getting sicker and sicker, so Darius suggested we should find a room in this Inn as it was told that it was owned by an old, retired Imperial General. Long story short, due to our common past the owners allowed us to enter and helped me to take care of my daughter.", Caius was clearly shaken when telling the story, as if he was seeing it happen once again.

"It did her no good, though...Soon enough she perished and came back as one of those deads and...", he took another deep breath, "And bit my wife. The owner's wife, a redguard called Nissi, attempted to help and was bit too. My daughter proceeded to tear my wife's neck before we decided to put her down for good. Well, you can guess what happened to both my wife and the owner's... It didn't took long after people started to show up at the Inn's doorstep, threatening to burn it down if food wasn't given. We've been defending ourselves since then.", the old man said.

Ali found it odd that the old man's son disappeared in the middle of the story, but he decided to ask something else.

"The owners just trusted you, but no one else? Why?"
