Little Arnam says, "A certain spellcaster built us a backdoor, but when this spellcaster used these same techniques to benefit a house of New Targonor, she asked us to stop using it. She said that if the house found out anyone else in the city was using their same trick, it would have given them cause for worry." "Go speak to her to see if we can get a one time exception.

Rubella glances at you slowly and says, "Permitted. What is it?" "I need to speak with you about something you did for a friend of mine," you say. "Was this business or a favor?" asks Rubella. "I rarely grant favors, especially not to..." She glances you up and down. "Commoners. So I assume business." "I do believe it was a business transaction," you say, "though I can't be sure." You lower your voice. "You helped create a little back door for him into his warehouse. Only you told him he could no longer use it once you did a similar trick for a noble house." Her eyes open wide and she murmurs, "Yes, yes, what of it?" Voice hushes, you continue, "He needs to use it." "No!" she says loudly." "Just once," you say, "for a friend." "Friend, lover, mother, "she says, "I don't care. You have no idea the trouble I could get in." You say, "Tender Gurt's livelihood depends on it. It's not his fault that Big Arnam went and got himself arrested." She narrows her eyes. "Nor is it mine." "But it is your problem that you built this for them, and are now trying to hide it," you say. "Isn't that right?" She asks, "Yes?" "Well, as they are doing you a favor, you should do them one," you say. "So that everyone's good humor is maintained, and lips shut tight." Rubella looks furious. "Very well," she snaps. "The power word is maggot. A creature you and your friend bear some resemblance to." Little Arnam You say, "I've managed to get her permission." Little Arnum asks, "Really? How's that?" You say, "I just made her see the beauty of doing favors for friends." "And thusly remaining on good terms with said friends," you finish. "You threatened her?" asks Little Arnim with wide eyes. You not to him. He chuckles. "She must be in a good mood, or amused," he says, shrugging. "No matter," he says. "So you got the password?" "You nod and say, "Maggot, apparently." He frowns and says, "Sounds exactly like her temperament." You ask, "How do I go about using this?" "Ah, yes," he says. "Go around the side to the baskets of fish. The little one is, well, actually our door." You nod and say, "Thank you for this." Little Arnam shrugs and says, "Doesn't cost me anything. Truth be told, you couln't pay me to let that woman's magic toss me around." Quest Completion Tender Gurt asks, "You ended up on the side of the cliff? That sounds like Rubella's humor. She is a friend of mine, though, as I'm sure you can see by the fact you ended up with the barrel anyway."
