Note sighed as Doxi mentioned pay.  "I'm sorry, my friend is.... rather forgetful when it comes to matters of monetary concern.  I fear she thinks such things are beneath her, forgetting that the working man and woman need such comforts.   Please allow me to pay the debt for her right now so you don't have to wait another moment.  I'll have Amber fetch platinum from the temple treasury, just let me know what she owes you."<br/><br/>The redhead stood, ready to retrieve the money if Doxi said the amount, and would be gone for a short while before returning with a sack of coins containing whatever amount Doxi said.<br/><br/>"As for 'free advertising' with the redlight districts, I don't think that's going to work.  You're not going to convince pimps and madams to lend out their employees.  Since the resurgance of Shoni worship, we've had a good relationship with most of the red light districts, but they know we exist and vice versa.  There is a slight disconnect in Sharn between Shoni and the prostitutes.  We had a bad incident once a while back when prostitutes were trying to ply their services in our temple.  We support sex workers of both genders, but here, in this temple, love is free and never charged for."<br/><br/>An interesting difference between Blackpeak and Sharn, Doxi realized.  In blackpeak the prostitutes were celebrated and operated out of the temple with pride and had no problem charging for their services.... though never during actual temple services.  Maybe because Sharn was such a big city, and prostitution had existed here for so long before the resurgence of Shoni worship, this temple had never integrated the two.  Where as Blackpeak was in it's infancy, little more than a series of caves that smugglers knew about, when Shonites came to the place.   In fact the temple to Shoni was one of the things that had driven growth of Blackpeak.  Prostitution created a perfect pressure valve among the population of mostly outlaws of Blackpeak and allowed for relaxation and a sense of community while funneling illegally gotten money into the temple's coffers.  But here in Sharn, it seemed that the main source of income was the creation of magical items.  Probably a much more lucrative venture then prostitution in the end.<br/><br/>Note had continued speaking, and Doxi's attention focused back in on the changeling who was shaped like a half elf, "...so if you get your crewmates, I can bring in other faithful, and we should have more than enough people to generate the energy required.  I just wish Master Johan was in Sharn, he taught others this enchantment, and is the best for it.  But unfortunately he is traveling.  But I do know a powerful mage who should be able to do it, and has used the crystal lattice in the past."<br/><br/>Note finished her glass of wine and set the glass down on the sideboard.  "So, unless there's anything else captain?"
