S2 E15: Departing Azarra

Rou rejoins Eight and Arthas and updates them about a secret tunnel that will lead them to Kidohlva. If they wish to take this option, they are to meet the clerk at The Purple Plum, a restaurant to the south of town, around supper time. Anticipating how cold it might get underground, Arthas buys some small barrels of animal fat but leaves three on the street “free to a good chef”.

Outside The Purple Plum, the young woman stands there wearing a dark cloak. She appears nervous, but leads them around the corner and down an alley, away from prying eyes and ears. She proposes to lead them to where the supply caravans go to enter the underground tunnels and warns them that it is potentially dangerous and civilians aren’t normally allowed down there. She also requests they keep her involvement a secret since she could lose her job for showing them how to get in. As compensation for her risk, she wants a book called The Gilded Rose.

The trio is brought to a warehouse where they are then led into the tunnels through a trapdoor. Rou smells sandalwood and lily, very faintly, but opts not to share this with the others. Eventually, the tunnel splits into five, and the group is left wondering which way they should go.
