"Sure," Mao said.

They soon found Xiao buying a pair of new daggers the blades with wickedly sharp blades, while Heather was looking at a fine staff etched with runes.

"That's some fancy looking gear," Mao said.

"Well we've done pretty well recent lysis," Xiao said "So means well use it to gear up right?"

"Yes," Mao said. "We have some money left over to go to yours."

"Okay, well we've got a fair bit but if we can get 800z from the shared pool that should cover it," Xiao said and Heather nodded in agreement.

"Okay, good," Mao said.

They paid for their items and the group reassembled. "What now?" Ruvik asked Mao.

"Let's head out to the dungeon," Mao said.

"Should we collect those papers first?" Xiao asked as the party began to head out of the city.

"Right, yes, we should get those first," Mao said.

The party heads to the consulate there are more guards than the previous time they had visited and after a few checks, you are all ushered inside where Elizabet was waiting for you.

"Ah good," she said smiling "I'm glad you came back," she indicated a nearby table with a set of documents and 4 small pins laid out on it "As promised, documents and marks to show that you are to be afforded respect from imperial authorities."

"Thank you," Mao said.

"It is but a small repayment for your deeds," Elizabet said.

"Well, uh, thanks all the same," Mao said.

"I have made some enquires and I believe that you are Treasure Hunters?" Elizabet said "You should know that the Empire will pay well for any information relating to Dungeons and things you find, please keep that in mind."

"We will keep that in mind," Mao said.

The party exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left the consulate "Okay, so dungeon time," Ruvik said grinning.

"Yes, let's do it!" Mao said.

The trip to the city was uneventful and soon the party arrives back at the gates of the city. "Where do we go first?" Ruvik asked.

"We should find a place we can sell all our loot off at," Mao said.

Ruvik considered that "We could head to the guild and see if they would buy it, or we could try the market place and see what we can find," he suggested.

"Let's try the guild first, we can probably get some rooms there," Mao said.

The party soon found their way towards the guild house, it was a large two-story wooden structure that was tastefully decorated. Two powerful-looking individuals standing outside the doors, one was wearing robes and seemed like they were likely a wizard of some kind, the other wore plate armour and carried a long spear.

Mao nodded to them as she passed.
