Club Vanquisher
The other club. A warning card on the first floor says holding a Desperado Pass negates the ability to obtain a Vanquisher pass; Mordecai names it in book 2 as one of the Over City's two main clubs, a country club of old clerics; on the fourth floor its entrances are churches at every transfer station ending in nine, its members are clerics, a mantaur engineer and the goat Prepotente, and the party has never been inside.
First appears: Book 1
Series arc
As of book 3. A warning card in book 1, a sentence from Mordecai in book 2, and churches at every ninth station in book 3. The party has never been inside.
Through book 1
A warning card on the Desperado Pass: holding it negates the ability to obtain a Vanquisher pass (B1 ch. 19). Nothing more is said on the first two floors.
Through book 2
Mordecai, at the door of the Desperado Club: the Over City has two main clubs, access to one bars the other, and Club Vanquisher is a country club where old clerics sit in leather chairs and smoke pipes (B2 ch. 15).
Through book 3
On the fourth floor the club is at every transfer station whose number ends in nine, behind a church-like door with clerics inside (B3 ch. 6, B3 ch. 10); Gore-Gore, the mantaur engineer, goes in and comes out knowing who crashed his train (B3 ch. 11). Carl wants Katia in it, and a Desperado tattoo forecloses that (B3 ch. 8, B3 ch. 25). Prepotente is disappointed that Donut got the other club (B3 ch. 32).

By book
Club Vanquisher in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
A name on a warning card: holding a Desperado Pass negates the ability to obtain a Vanquisher pass (ch. 19). Nothing else is said about it on the first two floors.
Club Vanquisher in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Named by Mordecai at the door of the Desperado Club: the Over City has two main clubs, access to one bars the other, and Club Vanquisher 'is more like a country club where old clerics sit on leather chairs and smoke pipes and occasionally tell racist jokes' (ch. 15).
Club Vanquisher in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
A church at an ochre station whose ram-headed cleric, Donut guesses, tells Gore-Gore who crashed his train, and waves (ch. 10, ch. 11); at 59 too (ch. 18). Prepotente is 'so very disappointed' Donut got the Desperado Club and not Club Vanquisher (ch. 32). Katia was meant to try for a pass and gets a Desperado tattoo instead (ch. 8, ch. 25).
