A week later, not much had changed in the town.  There were a few rumors going around about bandit attacks becoming far less common lately, but it seemed there was still occasional trouble.  After doing her own investigation, Mareth was able to find that these attacks weren't from the bandit group she had made deals with earlier, and were likely just individual incidents, not the work of an organized group.<br/><br/>Sylvia and Lisa had yet to return, though a few more adventurers had made their way into town.  One of them, an elven paladin named Melany, had a clear dislike of Mareth; often, she would come into the shop to complain about prices and how the bard was taking advantage of "those who came to serve this town in the name of Iomedae", as she often ranted, though she did still buy potions every so often, claiming to need every bit of help she could get against the "goblin hordes" that she had been fighting.  Of course, Mareth had found out that it was only a small group of goblins that had trampled a few crops and killed some livestock out in the fields.  The other interesting adventurer, a half-elf by the name of Deria, was a monk that had been exploring and searching for challenges.  She was much more fun to chat with, often coming to the shop just to spend a bit of time talking with Mareth, though she had so far denied any of her advances.<br/><br/>One day, however, started interesting enough.  A short time after Mareth opened the shop, a woman that she recognized as one of the bandits came in carrying a small scroll.  "Ivy said you're looking for this," she explained, handing it to Mareth.  Inside was a full map of the area around the tower, with several points of interest marked on it, as well as a few extra notes written underneath.  Three of them stood out immediately to the succubus.  One of them was a cave with a note saying that the interior was very large, though they didn't map out much past the entrance.  Another looked like the basement of a large cathedral that had been abandoned and destroyed long before the wizard came to rule the area; it extended for several floors underground, though someone had noted that it looked rather unstable in parts, and would definitely need some repairs if it were to serve any purpose beyond a place for adventurers to look for treasure.  The third location was some sort of underground catacombs, the entrance to which was incredibly well hidden within some other ruins.  However, the note here stated that it looked too well kept to have been abandoned for long, and may still be in use by someone, though the mapmaker didn't know who.<br/><br/>Before Mareth could continue examining the map, the bandit spoke up.  "I believe the cost for that is one hundred and fifty coins," she said simply, holding out her hand.
