<span class="mu-i">“Does the pitiful heirodule know where I can find them?”</span>
Dropping the pretence of humble self-accolades for the first time during your audience, Bahadir Arslan of the Merchanta Casta answers with his widest smile yet, every tooth gleaming as golden as the rings on his fingers.

The Old City. By the time of the Book of Brothers was writ Cathagi was already ancient. Indeed on the maps the name of the city is Nova Cathagi, ‘Nova’ meaning ‘New’. In the centuries, or perhaps the millennium, since Cathagi was first founded the structures of today have been built on both the outskirts and the ruins of the old. In some places, so much of the old city has been swept over by one disaster or another only to be built over that there are swathes of the city entire where ruins the size of entire towns in their own right lie beneath.None live there except the desperate, the dispossessed (according to some) the damned.
You stand at the entrance of one such warren, Mikail and Brother Rousseau by your side. It is here that your information broker claimed most sightings of this ‘Rogue Medusae’ have originated from. Roughly.
===============================
> You spent months in fucking -Fallavon- of all places, fording rivers ridden with Trolls, scaling mountains overwhelmed with wyverns and braved undergrowth bristling with Basilisks. Almighty knows you can handle the side passage of an underground ruin or two. [Divine] [Pathfinder test]
>The winding path where light from the surface still shines down is the most straightforward route. It is also the most obvious place to lie in wait for any idiot wanderer with a heavy purse and empty head. On the other hand, one would have to be desperate indeed to consider a fully armoured knight a worthwhile mark. [Hearty]
>You should hire a local that knows this area well enough to lead you down the lesser known pathways that will offer the most discretion. But Cain on the Cross, this Fae archer of yours sure is racking up quite a bill. [Idealist] [-5 Sequins]
