Club Vanquisher

Club Vanquisher is more like a country club where old clerics sit on leather chairs and smoke pipes and occasionally tell racist jokes. -- Mordecai[1]

Club Vanquisher is one of two Dungeon-based clubs that crawlers can join starting in the Over City on the Third Floor. Similar to the Desperado Club, it includes a marketplace called "Comforting Supplies" and access to various guilds.[2] Its members consist predominantly of clerics and paladins who have to pick a god after selecting their class.[3]

The Club Vanquisher is located at any transfer station ending in a 9 on the Iron Tangle. [4]

Description

Club Vanquisher membership is marked by a Club Vanquisher Ring.[5] It is not clear how membership is obtained without selecting a god, but a few gods and bard classes allow crawlers to access both the Desperado Club and Club Vanquisher.[2]

In towns, Club Vanquisher is typically located in temples and marked by a spire. Its interior is clean, with colorful stained glass windows and soft, ethereal music. The entrance may be guarded by clerics. Its full-time staff includes healers.[2]

Defiling or defying Club Vanquisher will compel the club to put a "Holy Crusade Bounty" on a crawler's head.[6]
