Lia proves to be an excellent bargainer, moving adeptly through the stores in the city. The dwarven merchants are adept at this, but appreciate haggling from someone who has an eye for quality. She manages to strike several good bargains.

Lawrance finds a buyer for the spellbook, the spells are not uncommon enough to be of much interest on their own, but there is a scholar interested in the spell grammar and writing styles of other cultures.

Soon enough everyone save Cratol has gathered in the tavern. Nikolaos arrives in time to coordinate his music with the actor troupe. Apparently their play is a reenactment of a famous raid into the underdark, one of the few attempts to free illithid slaves that had real success.

Lia and Mari take seats at the table with the others. Mari begins with a tankard of ale while Lia sips on some red wine. Lia studies Nikolaos curiously wondering how well he will do.

"Poljen, I cannot wait to hear of the further exploits of the Silver Blaze. If I didn't know you then I wouldn't believe the fantastical tales about dragons, vampires and giants. My time away wasn't quite as exciting. I'm glad to be back to keep you and the foolhardy monk patched up amongst others." She smiles and takes a sip of wine. A pointed ear is barely visible through her raven hair.

Poppo enjoys travelling in the city and takes in all the sights and sounds of the marketplace shops they visit. He isn't looking for anything in particular for himself but agrees to share the cost of the keying system for Lawrance's secret chest. Once the group arrives at the tavern, Poppo really relaxes and orders a frosty pint of ale. He takes a big swig and then settles in to listen to the music and hear the others tell their tale.
