What is the store?
Aasim Ahlaam was a bookseller and a friend of Coffey, and a victim of the cult. His shop is the setting for Chapter 6. It looks like an ordinary shop, with a hidden cult area behind and below it. The shop door is north of the street outside it, a short walk east of the Severn, as the district map shows.
What rooms does it have?
| Room | What matters |
|---|---|
| Cramped Store | The shop floor. Silas Nkwame is here, and he acts the moment you ask about the book. The back door needs his key. |
| Steep Stairs | Just past the back door, to the west. |
| Dark Alcove | Further west. search shadows finds the skull mask. |
| Well Chamber | North of the alcove. A well, a drum, and a man at the well. |
| Priest’s Chamber | East of the well. The book is under the mattress. |
What is dangerous here?
Three things, in order. Silas attacks as soon as you ask him about the book, so be ready to cast shrivel on silas. The well monster is kept down by wearing the mask, playing the drum and closing the well. The priest has a fatal first moment, so cast shrivel on priest is the only action you take when you walk in. The chapter 6 page gives the exact order, and survival tips cover the dangers across the game.
