Antonio has managed to dig up three expensive rare magical items that grant Tongues and can be passed around, so that up to three people can talk with Merrin at a time.  Her options for what to do next include:

- Give Antonio thirty minutes' notice on a party for the two dozen people in Egorian who seem most like they could hold up a conversation with Merrin and are interested in meeting her, with other activities performable in the meanwhile
- Talk to the three students from Ostenso who asked to follow along with the alien
- Have somebody who speaks quickly translate a book for her
- Obtain her own bedroom and rest
