invites you to have a drink in the back room, warning you to
beware of the
painter. Learn about the loaded dice and enter the back room.
There, you
encounter Harpocrates, who tells you that he is about to lose
everything. Go back
into the main room and take the scale behind Dionysus. In the back
room, place
the scale on the table and put Harpocrates’ dice, and the
painter’s dice, on each
of the scale pans. When the painter’s trick is revealed, you will
need to calm
Harpocrates and play against the painter, using his own dice. When
the stake has
been recovered, Harpocrates offers you the necklace that he had
pledged, and
leaves the tavern.
Next, bargain with the painter until he agrees to restore
Popidius’ fresco and
give him the blue pigments. Then speak with Palmyra, who will give
you
the “inside story” about the elections, and tell you what you
should do. Leave
the tavern and return to the Forum.
Once you are in the Forum, go to the Forum Hot Baths. You will
find Harpocrates
in the first room you enter. He will give you some sacred water of
the Nile.
Next, go into the second room, where Popidius is expecting you.
