In the morning I give the Bracelet of the Shattered Aegis to Malaphor. Across from the Shaded Face Inn is a hexagonal building which has signs above it saying:
Mideline Bazaar Auction Today
Clik's Battle Stage - Sign Up
I find a jewellery shop called The Eye of Ignalius, run by an Eleven man named Ignalius. I buy some diamond dust off him and sell him a gold sapphire necklace and a silver one. I ask him to appraise my Dwarven Circlet and he recoils back in shock, and says he can't appraise it as it is a priceless heirloom of Dwarven creation. Told me to be careful who I show this to.
We go back to the Bazaar and sign up for the Battle Stage, which if we won we'd got 16,000 gold and a bag of Aquamarine.
We then sit down for the auction and wait for it to start. Ape, Raskin and Austar practically clear out the auction and make a name for ourselves as wealthy strangers.
Esteem, a Tiefling who is close to the Halfesh (Sultan) and popular was at the auction was got into bidding wars with Raskin and Austar a few times, as well as the Halfesh. Seems quite good at hiding things if needs to.
I notice there is a slight raising of his eyes and his pupils dilates when Raskin mentioned Titan's Bane, making me think he knows us, or at least our name.
Said if we're looking for work come see him at the Evenings Rent by dockside.
We then enter the Battle Stage. I enter first against a Goblin and manage to use his momentum to throw him out winning the first round. The second round Malaphor expertly uses his cold powers against a Minotaur and knocks him out by freezing his hooves so he lost grip. Ape then enters the final round against a muscled Kobold and throws him out with ease.
After our win we collect our winnings (16,000 gold and a bag of Aquamarine) we head to the Hal'Fesh's Menagerie, which Ape then showcases his own menagerie.
We then head down towards the docks. We pass by a few ships on the docks and the names on the side are "The Alcastron", another ship with blue sails called "The Bellasaurus", dark sails "The Green Callabasht".
I notice onboard "The Green Callabasht" I see Esteem having a conversation with what I assume is the captain.
Raskin sets up the Tiny Hut so we can sleep safely while we await morning to speak to Rosie when she arrives.
I message Etcher to see if he's got any updates, said will be looking into it shortly.
I also message Holly Lusterkin to check up on the manor renovation, said there was flooding issue and might cost bit more but can discuss when she next sees us.
My last message is to Lucinda Marguant on if she's well and how the Alistan Preen problem is? She said he's been quiet and she's doing business in Pentareach. Reiterated to not trust Alistan Preen but we knew that already.
