Having heard rumors that debtors who can't pay back moneylenders are sold into slavery with some of the proceeds going to the lender, Goriath Shadowblade decides to investigate the possibility of profit and even acquiring slaves of his own. He checks in with the Temple of Waukeen and the slavers to find out what one must do to become a moneylender in an official capacity. Staying near one of the golems by the market, he speaks with commoners about their dreams and desires, assessing how much coin would be necessary to reel the average person in.
