More about this scene
Two brothers who rented rooms here robbed and murdered a cleric. The younger brother hid in a chest with the booty, but was found and hung after his older brother gave him away. The older brother, although free, was haunted by guilt and died quite young. It is said that his footsteps can still be heard at night pacing the upper floors.
