They’ve sent a mandalorian bounty hunter by the name of Canerous to assassinate me. Luckily he hasn’t found me yet, but I’ve found him. I have no reward for killing him, but he’s worth enough as it is. In his posession is a whistle that charms the nearby kath hounds, an item useful to any adventurer. It could be in both of our interests if you’re heading that direction.”.
