You don't look like a rot hide.  Good.  I had lost hope...$B$BMy name is Alaric, and I was once Thule's head servant and bodyguard.  He used his magic to "protect" me from the Plague of Undeath, but instead his spell gave me an unlife from which I cannot escape.  And after creating the cursed rot hide gnolls, Thule beheaded me... and gave my head to the gnolls as a plaything!$B$BPlease, take me to my body.  I believe the gnolls buried it here in Fenris Keep, near the stable, in an unmarked grave.
