The cobblestones of Baldur's Gate shine wet under the faint glow of the street lamps, but the night carries a sharper scent tonight—metallic and cold, cutting through the usual odors of stale ale and river fish.

"Well... aren't you a vision for a dying man. Or perhaps I'm already dead and hallucinating. Be a darling and tell me—am I corpse yet?"
