Valorian visits the machinist, Nesto Machos, a bald dwarf who is manning a machinist stand in the middle of the emporium.

Vier is another dwarf who is an arms dealer, who sells plate armor. Titania asks about the magic sword and armor. He doesn't know anything other than it they are magical, but shares a rumor:

(#13) The order of the eclipse is responsible for the decapitated bodies in the river. Beware servants of the lady of fortune, she is an evil goddess that cares for nothing but the riches under the earth.

We head to Sheer Luxury and are interrupted by a commotion as the panther escapes. Valorian attempts to put it to sleep with a spell, but fails. Taliesin heads into the clothier and introduces himself to the proprietor, Basida, a middle aged Krysean woman. She argues that anything less than a duchess gown (which costs one thousand GP) will fail to stand out from Hesta's many suitors. After much discussion, taliesin declines to buy anything and leaves, his pride bruised.

There are 11 priestesses of Mityara. A daughter of Mityara points me in the direction of the Shrine of the Ancestors which is the entrance to the catacombs. There are 11 citizens gathered at the shrine. We all heads down the stairs and explore the catacombs.
