Reverie blinks in surprised at Trim's kind action and looks around her friends before bows her head at Hazel. Then she follows the children, looking at some stores and restaurants they pointed out (though she chuckles when she witnesses the children' passions towards the candies and sweets stores). Without any hesitation, she enters the building.

Before the children guides leave, your party ask about the location of Oghma's church. They can't tell you an exact spot, as there are over a hundred faiths along the Avenue, and they sometimes switch buildings as they rise and fall in popularity. The Oghma cathedral will be on the Avenue (one of the main churches, but not the largest), with a public library and research area as well as a temple. They give you a good enough description that you will recognize it when you see it.
Reverie leads the way into the inn. Off to the side, you see a meeting room with a half-dozen teenagers sitting before a man writing with chalk on a large slate slab. The walls and floor are ornately carved wood, stained and finely polished. Definitely the finest inn any of you have stepped into (except Reverie, of course).
Behind a large front desk are a pair of middle-aged humans in fine clothing. They have dark ruddy colored skin. Their hair would be neon-colors, if you actually knew what neon lighting was. The man has bright sky blue hair, while the woman has bright pink hair. (You suspect their hair has been dyed.)
To the side of the desk is a girl of 15, in a simple light grey bellhop uniform. The girl scampers up to your group and stands at attention. "Welcome to the Hilter... Welcome to the Halterhase... to the hotel." She scampers back to the front desk and covers her reddening face in embarrassment. The man puts a friendly hand on her shoulder and says (confidentially), "Don't worry. Keep practicing, and you'll get it right next time." The lady smiles at your group and asks, "How can we help you?"

Isk takes in the sights of the city as they walk through it, listening carefully to what all the children say about the various shops and eateries. He especially enjoys the Nunkreet burrito and when they arrive at the hotel, he follows Reverie in and looks around.
Froskan smiles at the girl's blush then looks tot he lady to answer her question, "We would like some rooms," he says. "We're not entirely sure how long we'll be in the city yet."
Reverie looks at the girl and then smiles gently to assure her. Then she looks at Froskan for a moment before she gazes at the lady. "There was a woman named Hazel recommended us to be here. She also told us to say that Grammy Hazel sent us here."

The rooms are double the size of the rooms you had in Greensville, and comfortable: clean, dry, and warm. As you pass the lounge area on the 2nd floor, you see a pair of travelers by the fireplace, but it seems like most of the hotel occupants are out.
After putting your heavy equipment in the rooms, your party heads out. It is still early afternoon, with a fair amount of street traffic on a cool but mostly sunny day. As you head south, you see more and more "churches". Even though Nunkreet has over a hundred faiths in residence, many of them are 2-room buildings occupied by 1 or 2 of the faithful. (As you pass one structure, a crazed man waves a handful of cooked pasta at you, recommending that you convert before the coming of the "Noodly One".)
The temples become more elaborate and larger as you continue south, until you reach the Avenue of the Divine. You recognize that it is part of the Primus Road: 40' wide; seamlessly interconnected slabs of granite, basalt, quartzite, and marble; craftsmanship and precision beyond the work of human or dwarven masons. Even here, with the heavy city traffic the road still looks like it was built yesterday. There are no permanent structures within 40' of the road on either side of it. There are merchant tents and carts that extend from the temples all the way onto the Road, but you are aware that they withdraw at night. Nobody leaves anything on the Road at night (although nothing has happened within recent memory). There are extra patrols at night, and laws against messing with the Road anywhere near the city.
Looking east, a little over half a mile away is the Gap: a spot where the Low Wall is open to avoid anything being built on top of the Road. There are extra guard structures inside and outside of the Wall to compensate for the wall opening. Looking west, half a mile away are old guard buildings and barricades surrounding an area called the Rupture that everyone walks around. (It seems to be part of their normal life to avoid that area.) The temples closest to the road are magnificent, almost like palaces. There is a lot of trading going on in the streets. The wares are impressive (armor from blacksmith gods are well forged, food from nature gods are ripe and well-formed), but the prices are extravagant.
You walk to the west, almost to the Rupture, and find the Oghma temple. Half of it is cylindrical with a dome without visible windows, half of it is rectangular with exterior columns and a flat roof. (Think of it like the Pantheon in Rome, although with different proportions.) The side with the columns has all of the foot traffic, and appears to be the public library of the church.
