Quiggly is Freedom’s long-eared Chiuarat. He goes everywhere with her.<br/><br/><em>Plots:</em>You can buy a map from her of a dungeon, mine or other adventuring local.  It might be correct it might not.  Either way you will certainly be in trouble. She will occasionally hire adventurers to map locals that are too dangerous for her to go alone.  Not that she will tell them that.<br/><br/><em>Casual Sex and Romance Potential:</em>Yes to both.  Casual sex is fine solo or the occasional threesome.  Romance is likely a one-on-one thing.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Farmlands (NPC)</strong></span></span></div><br/><span class="bbc_u">Abbotryx of the Temple of Casta</span><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b1/Abbotess.jpg)</div><em>Abbotryx Luellia Joybringer (She/Her)</em>– Luellia, “Lulu” to those close to her, appears demure and sultry and in control.  The truth is she constantly juggling the never-ending stream of injured adventurers and running the only religiously sanctioned home of prostitution in a hundred miles.  It is a lot and sometimes she just wants to be pampered and orgasm a few dozen times.  Is that so much too ask?<br/><br/><em>Plots:</em>The Temple of Casta is always in need of bandages, aloe and lube.  The Abbotryx could send adventures to find any of these items.  It is also a place of healing and recover, which sees a constant influx of recuperating adventurers.  Perhaps a lingering spirit of a dead adventurer is causing problems at the Temple and you are tasked to find a way to put the spirit to rest.  Maybe it is a lustful former acolyte’s ghost instead?<br/><br/><em>Casual Sex and Romance Potential:</em>Yes and yes.  While she doesn’t have as many flings as when she was just a young acolyte, she is still willing and training new acolytes certainly can be invigorating.  She is romanceable in one on one or open poly relationships.
