Background:
"You can have anything you want... for a price." - Sister Terbon McTly
Known as harlots, prostitutes, and unclean women the sisters of pleasure have bases of operations in every major human city. Even the most tired traveler gets a small smile when he sees the sign of the Sisters of Pleasure. A black background showing a man and a woman intertwined in passion. While the rank and file of their membership are there to cater to more animal desires, the ranking officials within the organization realize there is more money to be made by trading in secrets and intrigue.
The overall goal for every organization is to infiltrate the major noble houses of their cities. From there they use their unusual position of trust to learn useful information, which is then sold to the highest bidder.
In addition to espionage, they also specialize in assassination. Although few would agree to use a dagger, there are other ways that are less noticeable. As most of their working women have diseases in various ways, it is not uncommon for them to attempt to pass sexually transmitted diseases as a stealthy way to kill a person. Even worse than killing the person, is killing the reputation. Another source of income comes from blackmail.
Makeup of local organizations:
75% 0 lvl commoner females. Cha 14 +
8% 1 lvl fighters (bouncers, may double as male prostitutes as needed)
2% 3 lvl fighters
5% 3 lvl rogue (females, cha 17+)
5% 5 lvl rogue (females, cha 17+)
1% 5 lvl wizard (bouncer)
2% 5 lvl cleric (remove disease anyone?)
2% 10 lvl rogue (male pimp, cha 18+)
Typical tactics for local organizations:
Purchase one large building in a run down portion of town and open the house of pleasure. They begin acquiring 'talented' women either by purchasing them, taking them from orphanages, and of course hiring them. This initial investment comes from the head group. Each individual organization keeps in constant communication with the head group so they can maximize the usefulness of their information.
Once a presence is established they will attempt to gain influence in the noble houses, usually it comes from 'special' arrangements with the nobles. They need to do this quickly in order to ward off any attempts from religious groups to keep them from forming.
Plot hooks for PCs:
Quests:
1. This person stole my .... please retrieve it for me.
2. This person is beating up my women. Please take care of them for me.
etc...
Doublecross:
1. They stop for a night of pleasure only to get magical items stolen from them
2. While in a drunken stupor they let slip their masterful plan to sneak into a local mages tower and steal treasure
Exotic:
1. 6 months after returning to the same house of pleasure one of the PCs learns that the woman he had is pregnant....
2. One of the party members is attacked after doing the deed by a jealous boyfriend, who he must now defeat naked and weaponless.

Sister McTly was born in the capital city and had a rough life. Sold into slavery at a young age and 'pressed' into 'service.' She eventually became the favored treat of a young prince, she convinced him to get a considerable amount of wealth and run away with her.
