"Alyssa has seen a man she knows as the 'Hauler' carrying heavy sacks into the Underhalls on several occasions, but he has not been seen for some time. Now she wishes me to venture down into the depths and find him if I can. I should look for an entrance to the Underhalls beneath the Mitran Temple outside the city."¹

"I've found the Hauler, slain and clearly dead for several days. There was a note on his body that I should show to Alyssa, back at the Thirsty Dog."¹
