The goblin guard seems equal grateful to Gurmok for having provided him a chance to play with such a majestic beast. Lieutenant Haviksoog reminds you to keep her updated on your mission, but encourages you to get some good rest first. Dalnu suggests finding Sofh, however, none of you actually know where she lives. With the sun close to setting, you doubt you could find out before dark.
You head to a nearby inn, and get a private room that can house all of you, including Zen, for 2 gold a night. A lot of efforts are made to patch wounds, Mauricio educating his companions on the basics.
The next day, with your wounds treated, you sell off many of the supplies you collected in the sewer. In Katapesh it is easy to find merchants willing to purchase the wares. Fortunately, Dalnu has assessed the worth of the jewels and jewelry, and thwarts the attempts to swindle you. After two hours of finding interested merchants and haggling with them, the items are gone in exchange for 49 gold, and 1 silver.
A few items are purchased as well, new armor for Mauricio, healers tools for Sadar, an everburning torch for Dalnu,and wraps for Kharesh. Then efforts to transfer the runes are enacted - Mauricio and Dalnu both work to improve the aim of Kharesh’s fists via the new hand wraps and Sadar’s falchion. Purchasing a few essential supplies to complete the transfer, both endeavors are successful, but consume much of the day. You stay in the same location for the night.

The next morning, after breakfast, you head to the pesh den, the Hookah Lounge. The establishment is fairly large, two floors with likely around two dozen private rooms and a sizable common room. Five men can be seen sitting around a hookah in the common area, all seem barely awake.
The man who greets you appears considerably more alert. Kamil al Shiysha is a tall man well past middle age, a nearly bald cap sits over stringy white hair down to almost his shoulders. He is rugose and wears colorful robes. “Welcome to the Hookah Lounge! A private room?” His voice has an unexpectedly inviting dulcet quality to it.
