Lungworth

Atarax informs her that most of the women and other villagers have simply left, and only the most stubborn ones remain. After that, he sets off to find Shanaz. He tells her the same thing he told Gulveig earlier.

First, he suggested she become a mother to children and a concubine for some trainer, and now this. Either Atarax had a knack for finding clients in this kind of business, or he was just moonlighting on the side, in his free time from mercenary work and philosophical musings, or perhaps the local pimps were now sporting Telos-inspired attire. It's hard to say for sure. Nevertheless, the puppet once again made a similar offer, albeit now for a one-time deal. But, to the athlete's likely disappointment, Shanaz is not yet so desperate as to offer herself to a group of "lustful" villagers for a handful of coins, who are of unknown health and have who-knows-what ideas in their heads. On the contrary, this offer caused her even more revulsion than the idea of being the twentieth concubine of some self-absorbed rich man. The wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters of these men are currently held captive by monsters, and all they can think about is satisfying their own needs. They would be better off using that money to pay for the rescue of their relatives, rather than for something like this.
— Master Atarax, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to Ephemeria? We came here to solve the problem with the goblins, not, ahem, its consequences.
