Sex in Ancient Rome:Ask around

From Create Your Own Story

The taverns only offered food and drink, no beds. So instead, you slept next to one of the temples, on the ground. Once morning came, you awoke to the sound of people, carts and horses moving back and forth on the street next to you. When you asked around for the lion, people seemed much too frightened to go into any details, and either refused to answer or redirected you to the town baker, Diodoros. Without anything else to go on, you decided to pay him a visit.

His bakery was dark when you arrived. Empty and seemingly abandoned, with nobody tending to the oven nor the grain mill. You would have thought it abandoned, were it not for the loud sobs and whimpers coming from the back. The old man, Diodoros, was crying madly on the floor, and didn't even respond to your greetings until you told him:

"I have come to slay the Nemean lion.".

He ceased crying and looked up at you. "You have? Oh, please! Oh, please, will you bring my daughter back? I'll give you everything I own! You can have my bakery, my slaves, my clothes. As long as you bring my girl back!".

He then crawled over to you and pleadingly grabbed on to your legs. Quickly kicking him off, you responded that you needed some answers before you could help him.
