**Inside The Copper Cup**<br/><br/>The gnome takes a tag and prepares to stamp it and Sim's hand, before he nods as though that were an understandable concern.<strong>"Of course, you have my word that none of your equipment will be tampered with, and if you are satisfied to leave it here it will not even be searched. If my word is not enough, which I would understand, of course, then bear in mind that our business depends on return customers, which depends on our reputation. If I were to steal from our customers' belongings, or allow someone else to do so, we would quickly lose business and my personal admittedly comfortable lifestyle would become much more difficult and my reputation damaged significantly. I assure you that your equipment is safe if you leave it here. If you'd like to have a member of your party stand here in the foyer to ensure that your equipment is not tampered with while you are enjoying yourself, you are well within your rights to do so."</strong>The gnome seems unfazed by the question and pushes his glasses up the bridge of his large nose. If she releases the bag, he tags it and stamps the tag and her hand.<br/><br/>Adrian notices a slight magical aura on the ink and on the threshold of the door through which they entered the foyer.<br/><br/>Sim's patdown is professional, but very thorough. The guard doesn't seem to be interested in groping her, but there weren't many places where a weapon could be concealed that weren't checked, including the nape of her neck. When she's cleared, the guard opens the curtain for her to enter.<br/><br/>Inside, she sees that the area is dimly-lit, but walkways are kept clear of tables or chairs so that navigation inside is reasonably easy. In the far corner to her right is a bath area with what is effectively a warm pool with stone benches inside under the water. Several people (humans, a halfling or two, half-elves, and a few elves) are in it, some of whom are naked and others only topless. A few doors in that corner denote the entrance to private bathing rooms. In the far corner to her left is a restaurant and bar, which extends toward the baths into an area for gambling with several gaming tables set up. Directly in front of her is a wrought-iron spiral staircase extending upward to the second floor and downward into the basement.<br/><br/>Female attendants in short, frilly skirts and frilly, elaborate blouses in the same color scheme as the guards can be seen moving around with trays of drinks, bringing drink orders to customers and accepting payments, which they take back to the counter in the far corner on the left.<br/><br/>A guard is standing by the staircase near a velvet rope that prevents people from going upstairs, but doesn't block the route downstairs.
