it is the only Cantina.  Approach a Duros in the back end of the establishment and he will mention the word redeem in his initial conversation.  You will reply with the word restore and my name, Melvin in your response.  It does not matter what you say so long as it flows and contains those words.<br/><br/>Bring anything that you can carry on your person.  If you have more than that, we will work on bringing it to a more secure location.<br/><br/>Liberty and freedom to you."</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
