	If you carouse at Furry's on nights when Valerie is performing, on the second round you ~~have~~ a 1 in 4 chance ~~of meeting~~ an old friend who is ~~somewhat infatuated with~~ Valerie. ~~On the second occasion~~ this happens, ~~he reveals information which indicates there may be something about~~ her ~~which~~ might ~~compensate for the high price~~ of ~~buying~~ her ~~for yourself - assuming Furry can be persuaded~~ to ~~sell~~ her. ~~On subsequently talking~~ to Furry, he indicates that though he was until recently somewhat infatuated with ~~her~~, he is now getting tired of her and willing to sell her - for a ~~quite~~ high price.		=== Acquisition ===
			If you carouse at Furry's, on nights when Valerie is performing, on the '''second''' round of drinks, IF you socialize, there is a 1 in 4 chance that you'll meet an old friend of yours who is mesmerised by her. To try to impress you he lets slip that that "old man Randall at [[Dockgrave Tavern\|Dockgrave]]" told him there is a secret about Valerie's past which could lead to "an old inheritance, worth a bodyweight of gold". If this happens '''again''' on a subsequent night, your friend, now drunkenly despairing of ever having access to Valerie and so choosing to believe that the amount that Furry might give her up for might be greater than that of any treasure obtained by having her, reveals that the secret relates to some of her tattoos, which apparently constitute a treasure map. If you then talk to Mr. Furry, he indicates that though he was until recently somewhat infatuated with Valerie, he is now getting tired of her, and is willing to sell her - for a high price.
