	The Bar Keep is not alone at the Bare Bones Saloon, 'Lady Leadrin' works behind the bar most days, keeping the the place in check and serving up the locals. Several rumours persist, some say for the right price and a quick chat, your enemy might mysteriously disappear. Others say that Lady Leadrin is an alias and that the person in question was a war hero who fought across the seas with The Bar Keep, but some repute this swearing she is a criminal, possibly a companion for hire, who is using a dead woman's name to avoid capture. Whatever the truth, its probably best to toe the line in the Saloon, lest curiosity kills another cat.
