"We do indeed," Ramank says. "We are setting up an opera based on our adventures. And there is no grander stage than yours. We humbly ask that you let us use it. We promise it will be worth it."

Bekassine attempts to influence him with some flattery "I must say it's refreshing to meet someone who can keep matters of the church and matters of business separate. In the past I've seem many spiritual leaders falter, corrupted by money or power."

"Yes, Zachrin, you have it right. We are partners in a joint venture to bring to Kintargo a grand opera, for there is no city better suited for it. It will be three acts, telling a heroic story of high-stakes adventure. We just need a stage befitting such a show, and we believe the Kintargo Opera House best suited for the scale and level of production we plan for."

"Thank you for the warm welcome. This has been the most fun I have had in a long time, and the night isn't over yet!"

Aurelia is flushed with the excitement of her many successes: selling her art, purchasing her first piece, and recognizing a threat in the fey creature. Brimming with self-confidence, she takes her turn to flatter Zachrin.

"Sir, I can think of nothing better than to perform our unique opera on your wonderful stage. We have been writing a new opera with Fallenta. I believe you know of her?"

Zachrin's eyes widen when Aurelia name-drops your patron. "Fallenta Sumac d'Venenoux? My goodness!" he exclaims. "She has a reputation as an extraordinary director! Please, tell me more about this project you are working on with her."

You quickly razzle and dazzle the high priest with flattery, persuasive words, knowledge of Shelyn's teachings, and a demonstration of your skills. In no time at all, Zachrin is nodding with delight. "My goodness, I'd say you all came to me at the right time. Elleste Gudgeon had recently approached me with a request to premiere her in-the-works opera at the Kintargo Opera House. I had been strongly considering her opera as a great way to help revitalize the venue, but I personally do not care for Elleste's pride or the way she works to diminish the accomplishments of others to bolster her own fame. Now that you have presented me with an alternative show, I am more than happy to support you! You seem to have an uncommon passion and an inspiring spark about you. I promise to spread the word about you to my worshippers as well.

"Tell Fallenta that we have a deal! You don't need to set the premiere date yet, but the sooner I know, the better, so that I can finalize a little more restoration and reconstruction work on the opera house. I'm looking forward to it!"
