We charter a gondola to bring us to a nice hotel (The Grand Plaza Hotel), Gintonio points out a nice provision shop and magic item shops and other info about the city
We cross a very crowded plaza, seems to be overflowing with people
The snooty hotel manager ignores Tazlin but Bram is able to get us a few rooms.
Jimmy the bellhop excitedly helps Bram with his Mandolin
The rooms are very nice
We all take a bath together to not smell like shark guts
We send our clothes out to get washed and get measured for some new clothes. Some very fancy clothes with gold trim come back
We head to Ritalia Curios to stock up on some magic items
Bram buys a Bag of Holding
We bought 10 potions of healing 2 potions of Frost Giant Strength and 3 Alchemist Fires as a group
Tazlin buys a Ring of Water Walking and a 300gp diamond
Sold 650gp worth of gem stones (162 each)
We establish that a 3 finger tap on the shoulder means to "message" them
We head to the clock tower where a Nimbrali air ship is docked at the top of that only we seem to be able to see
We climb the stairs to find 2 knights of the flying hunt who recognize us and tells us that the captain is waiting for us
We see Ser Geoffrey who we had met in the capital
We show Geoffrey the rod we got from the Lich's chamber. He uses a strange device to contact Empress Ameria to get it identified
We also show Geoffrey the Potentia Crystal who takes it and gives us a chest of 2000pp
Ameria appears and tells Geoffrey to give us another chest of 2000pp
She says the rod is a key of some nature and that we should hold onto it
Ameria suggests that we hire the pirates to sail us into the south since the more reputable factions will be to cowardly to sail into Prime territory
Geoffrey tells us about the local politics and some of the local pirates
Tazlin stays back to spar with Geoffrey to give him some tips while the others head back to the hotel
