Curse of the Crimson Throne: Seven Days to the Grave [IC]

[lostsole31]

Without a doubt, the place to go for the priests that might have the power and equipment is the Grand Vault of Abadar. In a city as steeped in political scheming, decisive justice, and trade as Korvosa, it should be no surprise that the city’s largest and most influential faith is the congregation of Abadar, god of cities, laws, and merchants. Presided over by Archbanker Darb Tuttle, the Bank of Abadar is one of the more potent moderating factors in the city, ever eager to remind the government and nobility of their responsibilities to their citizens. Although its acts might sometimes seem charitable, the church of Abadar is more concerned with the just enactment of the law and the continued flow of trade.

The Grand Vault of Abadar, a meticulously well-kept structure of white marble and gleaming bronze friezes, stands in the North Point district of Korvosa. Within, the Vault serves several purposes. While the first floor holds a few small side shrines and counseling chambers, the majority of its airy halls are given over to the business of banking, with acolytes of Abadar eager to serve any with coin they would bestow in the god’s trust, while armored clerics keep watch for ne’er-do-wells. The floor above holds the god’s sanctuary and the quarters of a small number of resident priests, although most are encouraged to maintain their own addresses away from the temple.

Towering over the surrounding buildings, the Grand Vault of Abadar offers a vision of divine luxuriance amid a sea of mortal troubles. Radiant, as its grey-veined white marble reflects the midday sun, there’s little question that this place is the house of a god. Steep stairs and ramps leading up to the temple's great bronze doors are awe-inspring indeed. The temple is open, and an acolyte can show you to a place wherein they are willing to have a transaction for a scroll or a potion of remove disease.

A scroll would cost 375 gp, whereas a potion costs double that at 750 gp. Which would you want to buy?
