Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Houndmaster Braun encounter in Scarlet Halls.

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.
