What's next?
Purchase the ring.
"I'll take it." You hand over tehg old and put the ring on your finger.
"A small warning..." the merchant lifts a finger. "It will not absorb the taint indefinitely. Once it has reached it's limit, the pearl will crumble, and the ring will be a simple adornment." He points to the pearl. "It will grow darker the more taint it absorbs."
"I understand."
You have acquired the Pearl Ring.
