Your Goddess desires the Brand of the Abyss.

You see to it that the priestesses, your priestesses give you and your friends the finest supplies they can spare. You walk next to Caramus.

"Caramus, the high priestess told me, she believes the Brand of the Abyss is within the Citadel, in a brothel known as The Dancing Nymph. I wish to help you retrieve it. Will you help me convince the others?"

"A brothel? If she is to be believed I think we'd best attempt to retrieve it. I will suggest we go to the citadel. Yes, I will help you."

You tell the others of the artifact, and with Caramus's help you talk the others into helping you retrieve it. The citadel is a mere hours walk away and you soon arrive.

The wall and gates of the city are an impressive black basalt. As you approach you wonder how you'll get inside. But, as you get a little closer the gates swing open.

A fat well dressed man greets you. "Welcome to Aldita, treasure hunters! You'll find many fine inns, and brothels..." He winks at the men. "In our fine city. Come in, come in."

The city gates close behind you. Nadine asks for a recommendation of an inn and is told 'The Swift Fox' would be the place for upscale travelers like you. A surprisingly attractive strumpet hands Grayboar a card. As you walk toward the inn he shows it to you.

"The Dancing Nymph, how nice they have even provided us with directions."

Arielle scrunched her face. "How shall we retrieve the Brand? We could steal it, or send in the men to pose as customers, then again if they are just whores the direct approach might work."
