Lia laughs at Poljen and Perry's conversation. She shakes her head and can't hide her smile. "I think I will go shopping as well. Mari, are you coming with me. Velon, do you need me to buy you anything? "
Mari nods her head." Yes, there are a couple of things I am interested in purchasing."

Zarra will keep quiet, deep in thought, though Perry's enthusiasm does catch ehr interest as she says with a laugh, "Since you seem so eager to play a role in our shopping, perhaps you could also give ideas on what I can do with my share. I am considering some sort of improvement for my long bow, though I am not sure what sort." The drow had been debating what to get.

The group checks in with its sources concerning what was learned. The location scryed upon is determined fairly quickly. It is Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim's primary headquarters. It is located just north of the Moonsea, not very far from your location. But this information comes with a warning.
Chasorth says, "I suggest caution, it is too easy to think of the Zhentarim as just another organization. The truth is they're more of a rogue nation, one with a lot more political power than one would expect. Attacking this place with the kind of force needed to bring it down would be a lot like declaring war, potentially on multiple countries."
Another detail reported produces a response as well, "If Diderius wasn't completely deluded… It sounds a lot like he was speaking of the Draakhorn. A magic item used by Tiamat's side in the last war. It could signal dragonkin for thousands of miles, direct them in battle. I thought it had been destroyed, but perhaps I was mistaken. I can check on a few things and get back to you."
Tazskan asks Perry, and or Lia for some help with their bartering expertise. To get a discount. He will also do some shopping in the markets. Tazskan, will carry Velons armor to the markets, if not so already. While Velon is on guard duty, that is. Then with Lia and or Perry's help get the increased enchantment for him.
After which he will take turns with guard duty over the two bound guests, Varram, and the Cultist. Thereby relieving Velon, if required. Then fitting in some time to attune, the crystal ball etc.
Out of Character: The items for Tazskan, are as follows:
Crystal ball rrp 1000 gp??
+1 enchantment to glamoured leather to yield +2 rrp 2000 gp??
Misc. Items including a few flasks of antitoxin.
Possibly some googles of the night? Rrp??
Tazskan, will speak to Mari in side quest.

“Of course, Zarra and Tazskan, I will happily assist both of you with your shopping. Zarra, I can’t say I’m an expert in archery, but I have heard of magical arrows. I hear that there are even some that are enchanted specifically to harm dragons. But perhaps some better protective leather armor would be useful as well? Maybe something in a cute color that matches your features?” Perry looks the drow up and down, “Hmm, black suits you, definitely darker colors. A dark purple would look fantastic as usual but it would be stepping on my style a bit… hmm. An eye popping red is a bit much, but a darker red would be menacing while still allowing you to skulk in the shadows….”
Perry goes on for some time about the potential color of Zarra’s outfit.
"I am not sure that we should go after the Zhentarim at this time as they have some powerful allies and we do not need to start a major conflict. I say we look for this so called Draakhorn and see if we can recover it as it is a powerful item that should be kept in a safe place."
Mari grows pale at talk of raiding the Zhent keep." I say we go elsewhere. It's suicide to try to take the mask there. In the event that we somehow managed to escape with the mask we would have a powerful enemy. We don't want to be their number one priority. They would make an example of us. The Zhentarim can reach out and touch anywhere in the Realms."
