Houndmaster Braun Guide
Houndmaster Braun in Scarlet Halls: a journal-derived encounter reference quoted from the Adventure Guide, not a strategy guide. Database holds the raw abilities and the full loot table.
Background
Adventure Guide says
The quickest and surest way to detect the undead is by the scent of rot they carry, and even the most veteran soldier cannot match the olfactory sense of a hound. Houndmaster Braun has bred and trained a savage pack of canines to aid the crusaders in hunting down their foes--living and undead.
