Her “pet” tiger – Rogar – discourages any thieves, while her life-companion – Sparkle (female ½ Drow) helps her run the shop (when she isn’t working at Dolly’s).

The services at Dolly’s vary in price and arrangements – massage, bath, dinner, dancing, escort for the night, girls for parties, special entertainment, etc. You name it and Dolly’s girls can handle it. Two rules exist here: no fighting and no humanoids (orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, ogres, etc) allowed. There are six guards on call at all times, captained by Valkan (human male), a tough brawler who isn’t afraid to kill anyone who disrespects Dolly or her girls.
