Let's Play Age of Decadence #2

The second part of the Let's Play Age of Decadence series is up, extracted from the recently ended identically named forum thread on the official forums.
Since you're there, the guildmaster offers you a quest to eliminate two spies and, if possible, to retrieve their reports.

Now the world is open to you. We've offered our forumites several options:

1. Deal with the spies
2. Talk to the loremaster about the map
3. Visit the marketplace
4. Visit other guilds
