Located in a refurbished riverfront manor, The Plunging Blade is billed as the most decadent and expensive brothel in the city. This house of inquiry's claim to fame is its uncanny ability to uncover and fulfill any customer's desires. Located across the Kantele from La Scène, the Plunging Blade is run by the flirtatious rumormonger Madame Madeline Roulier. While she herself does not entertain clients at the brothel, there are rumors she occasionally grants personal "favors" to some of her favorite tipsters, which she does not deny. She is more than willing to trade gossip, but she never compromises the privacy of her clients.
