Slap thyself
Comfort the girl and tell her to go home. Team up with frelock to find out the problem.
[4] Now that you've regained your attention, you tell the girl to go home, or at least get out of here while you talk with the proprietor of the establishment. [2] You contribute nothing to any possible long-term solution to this problem even though the Madam has finally arrived, likely to see if her girls are back or not.
Descend deeper through the stairs, keeping my sword out incase.
[3] You walk down some more stairs leading deeper into the earth. You arrive at a straight platform and slip down. Looking down you can see the stone is magically enchanted to secrete oil, constantly keeping the surface slick.
"Hey, Flintus!... What's going on in here?" Take a good look around and inquire what's going on with anyone in the vicinity. If nothing seems too out of place, just tell Flintus about Blue Blood Tower and ask if he'd be willing to team up to investigate.
[4] You look around, but nobody is in the Temple, which in and of itself is quite odd considering what just befell the town only hours earlier in the day. The only unusual thing is that a priest(ess) is apparently undergoing the Trials in order to become a priest(ess) of Sareesa. You remember the trials you hand to go through to be a priest. It would require expert knowledge to pass through, or divine luck.
Glad that things worked out better than expected, I put down my trap-box and take a seat, resting my elbows on my knees. By the time I've recovered from the brawl, so has the troll, and now I have to answer her question. "Simple enough. You're here for a bounty on a Troll mystic. I want you to forget about it." If/Once she agrees to that, I'll head back and let him know that I managed to pull it off.
[5] The Troll starts to laugh. "You be thinkin' I'm here to collect 'dat bounty? Nah mon, word be 'dere is some powerful crystal in 'da area, I was here to collect 'dat for my Patron. T'ings not really be goin' accordin' to plan though. To prove to 'da Mystic I not be here for him, take him 'dis." she says pulling out a crude effigy of a humanoid figure. "He left it behind, it be protectin' him from physical threats. Once he has 'dat back in his possession, he be givin' you a great reward, I be sure of 'dat."
Investigate claims of the girls as to what exactly the Madame has done (outright kidnapping during the night? Keeping them locked in a celler? Good 'ol pimp tactics?) and then find the Madame to confront her.
[6] Before the girl leaves, you ask her what she means when she says the girls are forced to work here. "We're taken from all over in the night. This isn't the only Brothel we get sold to. They are all over the place, and they keep moving us around, to keep us from ever getting to know the area. We're always being watched." She won't say any more than that as she leaves, obviously intent on getting out during the confusion that took place earlier, and is soon to be taking place at the brothel.
[3] The madame enters the establishment. She brushes you aside as she goes and checks one of the personal rooms. "You're a part of the sex slave trade." you accuse.
"Hmmm, I wonder who told you that. Don't worry yourself about it though, you won't be here long enough to do any good." She says smiling. All of a sudden winds begin to swirl around you, you try to move but find yourself repulsed by the wind. Whoever she is, she has powerful magic at her side, that much is certain.
"Ah Malgun Dor'lek, I agree we should probably start looking for the crystals, but first I'd like to know a bit more about the Blue Blood Tower as well as see if any of the others want to give us a hand. Either way it seems Khan has gotten gimself into a bit of a mess here.
See if I can get down the stairs after Khan and if not then just head back to Sentinel and find out more about the Blue Blood Tower.
[3] You look around for an entrance to the priestly testing chamber, but none are readily apparent. You are drawn to a side room however, as you look around you notice one of the walls doesn't look quite right... odd.
