Sooner than you expect she returns with it, as she explains that it's an ingredient in one of the chef's recipes.The private booths are well secluded from the busy gambling hall. As Raul feeds Nikko and you enjoy roast pork and ale, Matton tells you"I'm trying to find a woman named Gabrielle Aderre. You see, I still love her.She's an unusual woman. She ruled this land ... maybe still does.Before her, Invidia was ruled by an evil man named Bakholis. And he was not just a man, but a werewolf. Gabrielle was captured by him, you can guess why, but she turned the tables on him. With the help of her spells and a silver dagger, Gabrielle slew him, and took Castle Loupet for her own.Being a nobleman myself, I naturally sought an audience with her when I first came here. It was love at first sight. She's beautiful, of course. Half-Vistani, which is unusual in itself.We had a time of happiness, but one day, a stranger came to the castle. He was tall and dark. As he tried to enter our private chamber, I tried to stop him, but I was no match for his unhuman strength. I am certain this was no man, but a demon. After he defeated me, he took her inside the room and forced himself on her. I heard her screams.I set forth on a quest to find the stranger and take revenge, but have found no sign of him, no tales resembling my own. So I have returned.But now I can't find Gabrielle. She's not at the castle and from what I hear she hasn't been there recently.Carnival is her favorite time in the city, and the Wine Garden her favorite place. She wouldn't miss it. Yet no barman or socialite I've asked has seen her yet this Carnival.I fear that she's been kidnapped, perhaps held by that fiend.But I don't think he would have killed her. He could have done that the first time if he'd wanted to. I think he's holding her prisoner, perhaps on the outskirts of town. If so, there's a chance that someone may have noticed something - unusual noises, lights in an abandoned house, perhaps sightings of a mysterious woman trying to signal for help.Or maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Maybe she's in hiding to avoid the fiend, or maybe I've just had bad luck so far in looking for her.Now, Jiles, you seem like a smooth talker and I'll bet you both can handle yourselves if you need to poke into a rough part of town. And as newcomers you can probably use some coin. If you're willing, I think that five gold per day - each - is reasonable pay to help me look for her."</blockquote>
