.. _lord-drylund: ============ Lord Drylund ============ Minion of :ref:`slarkrethel` and owner of :ref:`grand-dame`. He keeps an Octopus on his shoulder and wears gold earings. :ref:`mother` suggests he is positioning himself to be the next Water Baron of :ref:`yartar`. There's a painting of him in the gambling room of :ref:`grand-dame`. We met with him in his cabin onboard :ref:`grand-dame` where we discovered he knew of :ref:`neri`'s murder and :ref:`hekaton`'s kidnapping. He organised the assassins used on behest of his employer. He would not tell us who his employer was. Upon leaving :ref:`grand-dame` he tried to have us killed by his guards. We returned to his room, :ref:`knuckles` smashed his door in, and :ref:`gramdoul` threatened him for the name of his employer, :ref:`slarkrethel`. Upon speaking :ref:`slarkrethel`'s name he died. :ref:`gramdoul` revived him with Reivify. He has told the Water Baron we kept the coin from :ref:`grand-dame`.
