After a few more minutes of shoving and pushing you finally manage to pull open the door leading to the back room. You quickly closed the door behind you and headed down the narrow stone hallway that leads to the recruiters chambers. At the end of the hall was another small wooden door, which you opened excitedly as you prepared to meet with one of the local guild leaders.
The inside of the room wasn't particularly large, but it immediately made an impression on you. The only light came from a few thin candles enchanted with magic to keep them burning with a soft red light. Along the walls were many torn and tattered Rakdos banners stained with blood and drink alike along with a few piles of skulls.

Until you finish don't return here, or else you'll end up like the last leader who sat in this chair before me... you are dismissed." Lilith commands as she claps her hands.
The two guards then escort you back to the front door, which they shut behind you after wishing you luck. You look down at a piece of paper that was handed to you on your way out, it seemed to be an address where you could find the mead thief. You don't waste any time and quickly head to...
