Inn of Hidden Mysteries

Lillian walked on the streets of Tabriz. Usually it wouldn't be good idea a young woman with seductive figure like Lillian to walk alone on the streets of Tabriz at night, but Lillian had ability to be almost invisible at dark alleys, she also had quick feet and a trusty dagger on her womanly hips. Lillian was thinking alternative for seeing Kerghan. Half-Orcs weren't exactly her type.

As she walked towards business district, hoping she could find someone who could help her, she noticed one of the finest Inns in Tabriz on her walking route. She could also hear almost hypnotic music coming from inside. The Inn of Hidden Mysteries was a strange place which contained four buildings which formed a courtyard in the middle. Lillian had been there couple of times before and knew that clientele was a bit eccentric. She decided to enter, because she hoped, she could find someone who could help her from inside.

Lillian opened the door and stepped inside. On the other side she encountered a huge troll. The troll was 7 feet tall, had grey skin and huge hands, his fists were about same size as Lillians head. He was well dressed on a fine purple robes with black snake patterns, had long black hair on a ponytail and smelled good too, which wasn't very common for a troll. He was clearly a person no one wanted to mess with.

"Sorry honey, you have to be invited to enter here," Troll said with a deep and calm voice.

"But I am my huge friend," Lillian replied, smiling a friendly smile and stretched out her hand to the troll.

Troll sighed and grabbed her hand. His grip was really strong and Lillian's entire hand vanished within trolls handshake. Lillian did thieves guild secret handshake, hoping it would help her case.

Troll smirked at Lillian and for moment Lillian thought he was going to throw her out the door, but instead he just said, "Head in beautiful."

Lillian walked past the troll and found herself in a large room. She could hear the music more clearly now and see two players as well, they were brown skinned men with pointy ears, their figures were muscular yet slender, they were were also bald and had handsome face features. They played their mesmerizingly catchy tune with long skillfully carved wooden flutes. There were also four beautiful women with milky skin and long dark hair dancing on the pedestal. Their outfits only accentuated their curvaceous yet slender bodies, as they danced gracefully their suggestive dance with green serpents around their necks. Lillian was mesmerized by the sight and stared at the dancers and the players for a while, before she could pay attention to the rest of the room.

There were different kind of shady people around the pedestal, some of them weren't even humans. Lillian was pretty sure some of them were thieves, wizards or shady merchants. She was walking past them towards bartender, who was on the other side of the pedestal.
