You declare the meeting over, and bid your guests farewell.
The following morning, you order your chariot prepared to seek out the band of Nomad Dwarf land pirates lead by Dull, follower of Char-Dis.

Dull's camp is not hard to locate, as it is located so close to the empire that a mortal traveling on foot from the town of Charity could reach it within half a month. You approach the camp, and announce yourself as Sunpetal of Beauty to the perimeter guards, and watch as the scurry about camp spreading word of your arrival.
Nomad Dwarves, you note, are very similar to your Chestnut Dwarf followers. They are perhaps slightly larger on average, and possess slightly darker skin. Ugly asymmetrical faces, common amoung your followers, are few and far between in this camp, and although some of the dwarves here possess the prehensile nose of a Chestnut Dwarf, those too are rare. You note these are a people hardened by conflict; Almost everybody seems to be in fighting shape, and even the few elderly, underage, and very pregnant dwarves you spot carry weapons.
After several minutes of this, you are wisked into Dull's tent. The leader of the pirates is well dressed in a fancy black robe and a wide three-sided hat. On his belt is a familiar looking silver dagger encrusted with yellow gems that you can detect is a minor artifact; The decorations on the blade look identical to those on the weapon that was recently used to try and kill your husband, so you guess that it too is one of the Seven Beam Swords. Aside from his ownership of a weapon made by the dwarven gods, the only hint that Dull might be some kind of savage is his necklace, which upon closer inspection is made from dwarven knuckle bones.
"Goddess Sunpetal, friend of Char-Dis and mother of Emperor Sun-nut! I was not expecting such prestigious company today! I invite you to wait at my camp until sundown, so that my chef may prepare a feast fantastic enough for a goddess and a chieftain to conduct business over."
A: No, lets talk now!
B: Sure, I can wait until dinner!
