During the day Angrimir does a few tests before trying the ring on. The ring reveals it’s True Name. He also determines that it was created by an elemental mage. “I will need a large pearl and a live goldfish in order to determine more specifics.” “Those types of things will be available in Izbala. If you can’t find it in Izbala, you don’t need it.” The road to Izbala is long but relatively uneventful. They drop off the Fire Bandit in Salto. They are told the trial will be short and sweet. Also along the way they see a wheeled dwarven sailing ship also heading to Izbala.  When they enter the city, Udo points them to a small library/opium den run by some “unlicensed” mages from Alabar. They are able to sell the falchion and shield for a nice sum in jewels (including some pears for Identify spells.) Angrimir does some magic card trading ..err.. mutual spell research and learns Web Sphere. Marcus manages not to eat the whole kitchen after a few tokes on the hookah. The King of Izbala is having a festivus to celebrate the impending goods trade. People are camped out around the Palace. The Church of Maruda (Goddess of Camp Followers) is putting on a ribald play. The party is escorted to a large room with large open balconies and a closet to lock up their weapons. That night at dinner the party gets to hobnob with the other important guests. The representatives from the Church of Sidar to remind everyone that the gate is on Empire lands. The King of Vurok wants to make sure they get their fair portion of gun powder and firearms. The dwarves want mining rights for the vessium (ignoring the fact that they will be on Iron Kingdom lands).  The dwarves keep giving Angrimir dirty glances until Udo asks them what is there issue.  “He is here to dupe us.” The grey elves can predict where the vessium veins are going to flow. They usually sell this info to the nomadic dwarves. “I assure you Angrimir is here only to assist with the trade negotiations – he is not here as a vessium rep from the Grey council” “Harumph” (and I quote) After the delicious meal and dancing girls the party goes about there separate ways. Marcus goes to pray at the Church of Maruda (If you know what I mean and I think You doJ). Remilles works with the party wrangler to get a spot on stage later that night for a stiff fee of 5 gp. Larinia advises Zenthilus not to get into a discussion with the terse looking rep from the Torturers Guild. Angrimir takes Pepe for a walk in the gardens. Zenthilus and Larinia watch as Remilles regals the crowd with the story of Phatty Bumbalatty (or whatever a natural one on a skill check gets you). The crowd claps politely and passes the collection bowl around. Ooh 4 coppers and fork. Then Pepe smells something funny.</blockquote>
