Lord Otho Fynnen, who had escaped the capture of Bluewater Ford had been hiding in just this very brothel, drinking his sorrow away. But when he saw his King being paraded through the streets, that he once called his own like a common criminal, Otho could no longer accept this fate. He started a fight with a few guards, and by pure luck one of the arrows fired against him hit a high standing aristocrat of the city, causing his guards to attack the rebel occupiers all the same. In the chaos of the streetfight that ensued Otho managed to get to the King, free him and with his last breat wish him the luck of the gods, before his last breath drew out. The King managed to flee the city uncaptured and made his way to the sea in a small boat of loyalists. Sacrifices himself to enable King Vannon Alessia to escape.
