— the temple is not militarily defended at the upper level, which is the only one you can access for now. Comparatively, the underground is heavily locked up and guarded, while your magically or Force-sensitive characters can sense something unusual below — out of bounds for now. On the upper level, the temple is highly staffed, and guards are present, but this is still primarily a place of worship: they don't mill around or intervene. If you are discreet or pretend to be temple worshippers, you should be fine.
— the temple is very silent — not eerily so, but temple goers respect observance. Many of the people within are priests and priestesses carrying out rites of prayer, consuming hallucinogens or self-flagellating with thick, heavy chains.
— you may find Caius Justus — recognisable, as his face is on the Ephes coin — deep within the temple, sunken in prayer. He appears slightly gaunt (in line, one of the priests may share, with the fact that he has been fasting to curry the Chained God's favour) and tired, but not harmed. He is irate to be disrupted from prayer, reminding the group he has taken a legitimate leave for a handful of days from public life to consult the gods on Messalina's offer and the future of Ephes
— someone can have a thread with Caius Justus, on the premise of getting it done by mid next week. How to work this:
1. you folks can agree on one person to thread OR 2. I can RNG a person if you tell me who'd be keen OR 3. We can do a thread that goes to the tune of CAIUS > first character > CAIUS > second character > CAIUS... until everyone has had -one- tag!
