Editing Sharess' Caress

[[File:Sharess' Caress.jpg|400px|right]]
'''Sharess' Caress''' is a [[location]] in [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in [[Act Three]]. It is a house of pleasure run by [[Mamzell Amira]] and [[Kira]], named for {{FRWiki|Sharess}} the Faerûnian goddess of festhalls, hedonism, and sensual fulfillment.

==Overview==
Sharess' Caress can be found just inside and to the east of the southern entrance to [[Wyrm's Crossing]]. 

===Lower floors===
From the main entrance, just inside the building is [[Mamzell Amira]] and [[Kira]]. Across from them is [[Hoots Hooligan]] who is tending bar. Nearby, Earspoon and Borgus Elamin can be found drinking and discussing [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] and Guild business; interacting with them can progress [[Aid the Underduke#Sharess' Caress|Aid the Underduke]].

Behind a curtain to the south are the Drow twins, [[Sorn Orlith|Sorn]] and [[Nym Orlith]], who can be hired for an evening.

[[Arfur Gregorio]] may also be here, if he was previously encountered outside his house in [[Rivington]], playing a role in the quest [[Investigate the Suspicious Toys]].

Up on the balcony [[Valeria]] can be found celebrating at a table, if previously encountered at the [[Open Hand Temple]]. If the player has gathered evidence at [[Fraygo's Flophouse]] for the quest [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]], Valeria will give them a pass to enter the [[Lower City]].

There is also a kitchen, where [[Sauceman Chorizo]] can sell the player a couple of [[Camp Supplies]], and a basement down the stairs where a [[Rat (Albino)|rat]] is planning a revolution.

===Sharess' Caress Upper Floor===
On the upper floor are several unique rooms for use by the workers: Nymph's Grotto, Elminster's Library, Devil's Den and the Underdark Pleasures.

==== Nymph's Grotto====
In the grotto are [[Naoise Nallinto]] and a Flaming Fist. If the party enters the room and interrupts them, the Fist will undergo ceremorphosis and have to be fought. Afterwards, Naoise will give the party a [[Superior Elixir of Arcane Cultivation]] or the condition {{cond|Rapture}}. Accepting Naoise's proposition earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Exsanguinated Ecstasy''' ([[Haunted One]] background).

==== [[Elminster's Library]] ====
A pleasure den themed around schooling, knowledge, and bondage. [[Ffion's Journal]] can be found on a desk, providing a clue to advance the quest [[Find the 'Stern Librarian' Ffion]].

==== [[Devil's Den]] ====
Inside the Devil's Den, [[Raphael]] and [[Kith'rak Voss]] are arguing. Once Voss leaves, Raphael will make an important proposal, initiating or progressing the quest [[Deal with the Devil]].

==== Underdark Pleasures ====
A Room at the end of the terraced walkway and site of the encounter with the Drow twins, either [[Sorn Orlith|Sorn]] or [[Nym Orlith|Nym]], or both at the same time, if their services are acquired.
