"I want little to do with that group," says the alchemist, grabbing a case of concoctions and reorganizing it. "And I'm not the only one. I'm sure they've got what they wanted - rule and order by fear. If they have troubles it is either good news or bad news for people like me who want peace and quiet. Apologies, I'm sure you mean nothing but well, but I must disappoint you in this topic. Excuse me."

On the mentioning of 'Labyrinth Soul', she pauses her work. "Are you mayhaps referring to those who hold the strongest powers in the Labyrinth? They are terribly old, I hear, yet immensely powerful. There are three, of which two I can name. The first one you already know." Felisse goes to sit on the bench, taking a comfortable position, her hand reaching a vial from a shelf. She drinks it before continuing:

"The tyrant general of Hellfire, Kiehinen. Astreath, the mighty dragolich who rests deep down in the necropolis. And the unknown horror that devours men past the miasma."

"All who roam the Labyrinth fear these monsters that cannot be fought. You'll do well to stay clear of such beings."

"Certainly, a promise is a promise," Felisse says. "Please commit the following to your memories."

"Explorers' Guild is located in the so-called capital of the Labyrinth, Castle Heaven, on B19F. My laboratory here is quite distant from it, so the travel there will be a lengthy one. First, head back down to B14F. Turn left and go straight forward in the long tunnel. Once you reach the ladders, turn right and you should eventually reach a religious place of worship. From there, just keep going down and you'll reach the Road of Bliss. Road of Bliss leads to the capital."
Sounds like you'll need to go to the fog wall.

"As for Hellfire there is a camp or a prison or an outpost, whatever they call it these days, not far from here. It is well-guarded, so I advice you proceed not with violence but with guile and words. If you can convince those nimrods to let you through, the journey to the Throne should be a simple one. Throne is what the headquarters of Hellfire is called. Follow their instructions and keep your guard up."
Sounds like she's referring to the place where you had a chat with the knight.

Are you ready to go?

"From what little I have heard from my customers, there are several. I get bulk orders from some Order of Sheep, so it is reasonable to assume that's a covenant," Felisse says with a disinterested tone while continuing her work. "I also have recollection of someone mentioning something about devils, hunters and shadows. If memory serves the topic was about covenants. Probably."

The dark elf nods. "I've taken a profession of producing alchemical products and trading them for souls. Souls are a bizarre form of energy - surely you are familiar with them.

She listens to Pahleg's answers and then replies: "Acknowledged. You are not the first group of newcomers to be attracted by the Explorers' Guild. Try your best not to keep your hopes up: the Guild is nothing marvelous." Felisse turns her back to you and moves to a nearby table and starts reading a small book. "Ineffectual sluggers were more interested in drawing ornamented maps than going out exploring. That's why I abandoned their cause and took on personal ambitions," she mutters while reading.

"...Hellfire is not much better either, I'm afraid. Militaristic fools who cling together in order to act tougher than their reality would allow. Besides, have you heard of their General? I don't understand how anyone would want to serve that tyrant."

She closes the book, grabs some test tubes and pours them into a cauldron. "If you buy something I can direct you to either organization, should you wish so. But keep in your minds that there are other covenants out there."

The drow woman listens to Ulrich's description of the man while watching that everyone drops their weapons and comes inside. Once all eight have entered through the door she closes it and sticks a small metal key on it, twists, and withdraws the key. You hear a faint click as the door is locked.

Once Ulrich finishes describing the man, she turns at the party. "I do have a recollection of such a human male. But he and I crossed paths several years ago, eight years to be exact. He and his company of strange misfits came upon my previous laboratory, by accident I presume, bought a few potions and we haven't talked since. The human introduces himself to me as Noil. His band didn't perform the same act, preferring to stay anonymous." She offers you to take a seat on a bench next to a wall. "Please seat yourselves. My name is Felisse, from the cities of Do'anolg. Occupation apothecary."

You look around the room, seeing that it is a very spacious hall. There are multiple wooden tables in the room, with complex alchemical equipment on top of them. Bottles, flasks, vials, cauldrons, pots, containers, jars... and a few tools you cannot even hazard a guess what purpose they serve. The walls of the hall are decorated by sheets of paper that show complex equations and scientific tables.

The hall has two beds, two 10-feet long benches and four chairs. The beds are neatly made.

"My personal studies can postponed an hour or two," she continues. "I'm not a woman to fancy a talk, but my curiosity outshines my introversion. What manner of group are you? Are you part of a covenant? How hungry are you? Any special talents? Where are you headed? Since you mentioned Explorers' Guild, is that your goal?"

"Please leave your weapons behind and come in. I am intrigued: to whom were you referring to when addressing 'a man paying for his sins'?"
