My players took a different route to Alhaster. I had seeded the story early on with hints and rumors about Alhaster, and as I mentioned in another post, the Cleric of Wee Jas, when he wanted to open a magic shop in the Free City, well lets just say the powerful Magic shop guild (or thamutalurgical society as I called them) of the Free City was not interested in some upstart making competition and driving down prices, and so they directed him to buy a shop in Alhaster (old Imoandi was retiring, or rather was retired into the service of Lashonna).
Anyhow, when they both finally arrived in Alhaster, the Cleric was already settled into his magic shop, and the Paladin of Hextor waltzed in at the head of his army of 80 or so followers, parading up the streets to honor Hextor. Zeech, having no wish to appear as grovelling to this upstart Paladin, bought him off with a promise to meet later (which arrived in the form of a invitation to a certain party) and lodging for the Paladin of Hextor at the Deluxury, all expenses paid by the Prince himself.
Needless to say when the Paladin arrived at his room in the Deluxury, he not only one of the finest rooms in the whole inn, but also rather stunnning women waiting for him. I am planning to have some try and assasinate him perhaps in the night. Not sure... only time will tell.
When my players overlooked the map for Alhaster, and they asked where to stay, I refered them to the Deluxury...rather tongue-in-cheek. They went to the opulent den of vice, only to be patronized by Armhin Loratio. The overweight dandy (that's the way I decided to portray him) lisped at them that they would have to offer 1000gp a night to enjoy the finest Alhaster had to offer. My players scoffed at the ludicrous fee, and while there was some negotiating, Armhin's refusal to drop below 250gp--courtesy of some overheard mutterings from the wizards--left them in search yet again. They ended up crashing at the Church of Kord--making good friends with Lanthis Chax as a result, with or without their generous donations--and haven't given the Deluxury a second thought.
The PCs in my group's party are all Neutral Good, and I had the impression that the decadence that the Deluxury offered as it's pride and joy wasn't a temptation they cared to engage in. However, since other Banquet-goers such as Montague Marat and Shag Solomon did stay at the Deluxury, it cast those characters in a different light when they were encountered later.
