Welcome to the Slump. This is a straightforward area with three sections. The mercenary soldier will accost you, but let you through into the slump. The central chamber holds the merc camp and Artaglio. The chamber to the northwest has Sheen, witht he apothecary nearby. The one opposite Demeray and Obervich.
The Maw opens to the Trade Post, but needs convincing to open.
