With latex gloves. Can't be too careful.

*rimshot*

But seriously, it hasn't come up much in our games.
One character's interested, he spends his money and
rejoins the group in the morning. This is mostly just
because it's so easy. It's like the Dark Circus
routine. Send the characters into a town with a
perfectly ordinary carnival, and next thing you know
you'll wind up with three dead carnies and a pile of
flaming clowns, even if they did nothing but say "boo"
- because they EXPECT circuses to be evil.

That being said, there's a reason these are cliches.
It's because they work, and both areas are 'tainted'
in the WASP American imagination. Actually...that
gives me an idea.

What if the brothel is actually the home to the only
good people in a town full of wickedness? The evil
force has left the whores alone because he knows it'll
be easy to run them out of town. All of a sudden, your
Blessed character's got to defend a batch of soiled
doves all night, while the evil shapechangers try to
tempt him away from his post. Shades of Castle Anthrax...
