Part Two - "Polyphemus Brothel"

Chapter One - "Brothel"

The Polyphemus Brothel is north of Syracuse. The printed name is "Polyphemus Brothel". The description is "Pretty much as you'd expect, the Polyphemus is richly and tastelessly decorated. The lionskin rug is a particularly decadent touch." Syracuse is outside from the Polyphemus Brothel.

The scenery_prayer is scenery in the Polyphemus Brothel. The printed name is "painted prayer". The description is "Commandment #12592[paragraph break]Oh ye who go about saying unto each: 'Hello sailor': [line break]Dost thou know the magnitude of thy sin before the gods? [line break]Yea, verily, thou shalt be ground between two stones. [line break]Shall the angry gods cast thy body into the whirlpool? [line break]Surely, thy eye shall be put out with a sharp stick! [line break]Even unto the ends of the earth shalt thou wander and[line break]Unto the land of the dead shalt thou be sent at last. [line break]Surely thou shalt repent of thy cunning[55 as a reference]." Understand "paint", "painted", "prayer", "commandment", "wall", "12592", and "painting" as the scenery_prayer.

The lionskin rug is scenery in the Polyphemus Brothel. The description is "Tawdry; kind of mangy, in fact." Understand "floor", "tawdry", "mangy", "lion", "skin", and "tan" as the lionskin rug. Instead of smelling the lionskin rug, say "If you've learned anything in your life, it's that you shouldn't smell the floor coverings in brothels." Instead of tasting the lionskin rug, say "It's a rug on the floor of a brothel, and you want to put it in your mouth? I think not." Instead of rubbing the lionskin rug, say "If there were a lion attached to the rug, it'd be purring now." Instead of sucking the lionskin rug, try tasting the lionskin rug. Instead of looking under the lionskin rug, say "No trap doors. Sorry." Check taking the lionskin rug: instead say "But it really ties the room together[62 as a reference]." Instead of pushing or pulling the lionskin rug, try taking the lionskin rug.
