[The corpses, it seems, are long dead, and in various states of red lyrium poisoning. A few have stab wounds as well.
Upstairs, the red glow is coming from inside a door; locked with another magical lock that can be easily broken down. This time, in any event, the lock seems more to keep the door locked from the inside than the outside. Inside the door is one of the better rooms the tavern has to offer; nothing fancy, but decently kept. However, it's clear it's been used as a cell, what with the discarded rations on the ground and the bars on the window.
The man inside this room is Halward Pavus, but he's gaunt, ill, and in what appears to be the late stages of red lyrium poisoning; he's glowing a sickly red, and crystals are growing out of parts of his body.]
