Nine that are obvious.  Basic questioning just gets you different opinions on which shop is the best among the ones you here about.

There are three: Council Relics for the Faithful, Rahmine's Treasures, and Little Conveniences.
Are there any Iottian stores? Curious if we could buy one of their arcane casting rings.

Figment wants to spend his rubies.  How do I do that?

There are none that are obviously Iottian.  Those rings are effectively never for sale.  They are too afraid to sell them for fear of Iottian reprisal; but most likely there would never be a case where it would come up for sale unless someone didn't know what it was, in which case they wouldn't know they had one to sell.

Then we'll need to look for thrift shops and yard sales.

For those that weren't there or don't remember, a description of Zalthor would be good.

Zalthor
9'4" and 510 pounds of pure muscle. This Bugbear is enrobed in charcoal fur with smatterings of grey poking through. He has blood red eyes and black skin under the fur. He is broad chested and his exquisite physique is apparent even through the fur. He stands tall and doesn't slouch, so his full height is shining through. He is fully armed with mithral chainmail and has two exceptionally well made weapons across his back in an "X" formation, ready to be called at a moment's notice. The first is a gruesome looking dire pick and the other a maul. Both are clearly functional and of outstanding quality, but still show signs of battle and look to have been deliberately kept stained with blood and viscera from previous victims.

If looking directly at him, you feel uneasy and must resist the urge to soil yourself out of sheer intimidation. If you make it through the initial eye contact, you notice he seems to be trying very hard to control a fiery rage that boils within him, as if the slightest quirk or inconvenience would send him into a blood frenzy the likes of which none of you have ever seen. Only Breach and Akrah seem to be able to look at him for more than a few seconds or so based clearly on race alone. He eyeballs Figment as possible food and ignores Oz as you can hear him mumble from time to time that "there's not enough meat on that one" before scoffing and walking away.

Jesse chimes in at this point "Aimlessly wandering around trash heaps of crap other people don't want is not a good use of our considerably limited time.  A better use would be to see if Osrick can cast the 'Locate Object' spell to locate any other of the rings we need in the area.  If he doesn't have that spell, then we go see if we can purchase a scroll or two so he can cast the spell from those."

That's an excellent idea. What say you, Osrick?

Esra is going shopping. Figment may join. Combining our buying power would put us in better position to negotiate better prices.
