They find a sneering merchant who offers, as though reluctantly, Belts of Physical Might and Belts of Physical Superiority.  Pilar buys a +2/+2/+2 Belt of Physical Superiority just to feel even lighter and more graceful on her feet, and a +4STR/+4DEX Belt of Physical Might for when she wants to be even stronger and more graceful for a lesser time of endurance.

And a +6 Belt of Giant's Strength just in case she wants to show that off; and a +6 Belt of Mighty Constitution so that she can be tortured for longer; and a +6 Belt of Incredible Dexterity if only to complete the set.

Even Pilar cannot help but be caught up in the manic energy of it.  Pilar doesn't know how Ione can call this Good?  Or maybe Ione doesn't, and in that case Pilar absolutely doesn't want to stop her; Ione should come back to Evil where she belongs, so they can be allies again.
