Go directly to the temple and seek entrance.

Heeding the implied warning from the goddess, Sonja forgoes putting her clansman in danger and strikes off by herself for the ruin City of Theritie. Knowing the country well the she-bandit makes good time by the light of the near full moon. Theritie was destroyed decades ago by its rival, the City of Khorbul. All that is left is the underground temple of Bel, the lord of chaos and thieves. Several of her more foolish bandit clansmen have gone to the temple after a very successful heist, for the pretty priestesses of Bel are know to bestow their "blessings" on worshipers generous with their tithe. The temple itself has only one entrance, a ramp going underground located in the center of the city. Having neither coin nor cock Sonja hopes she can talk away into the temple.

Making her way over the forest hills the she-bandit comes to the fallen city. Steeling her will against the haunting shadows of the ruins Sonja heads directly for the Temple in the center of Theritie. Arriving at the dirt ramp that descends into a large ceremonial mound the she-bandit heads down the incline which soon turns into an underground stairway made of well worn stone. Cursing that she did not make a torch during her travels the she-bandit has to go slowly, feeling the walls, since the narrow passageway goes into complete, unnerving, darkness.

Creeping forward, completely blind, Sonja's searching hand comes against a wood and metal framed door that ends her travel. There is no door handle or knob, but there is a rope. Taking a deep breath the she-bandit pulls down on the line which causes and low gonging sound to emanate from within. Several long minutes go by before she can make out the faint noise of footfalls. To her surprise the door in unlatched and opens without any interview.

Torch light pours into the dark hallway which causes Sonja to blink, adjusting her eyes. Before the she-bandit is a hooded woman in a purple robe wearing black silken mask. "How may I help?" Her voice is deep, sensual and welcoming.
