And for her penultimate trip Pilar finds herself directing her courier to take her to the Whipcrack district of Egorian, which... makes sense, now that Pilar thinks about it. If there's anybody who does know how to hurt people in a way that makes them stronger, who isn't already busy being Queen of Cheliax, that person is probably Chelish too. Whipcrack would make sense for a slave trainer, even; oh, that's exciting.
So Pilar, following the impulses that come to her of her curse, casts back her hood to show herself openly, in this place, and walks down the streets of poorer Egorian. Her courier follows her, invisibly, for he is Security and why trouble to reveal himself?
