Adalbert goes shopping. Doing it in a big city has the benefit that there is a wide selection of goods readily available. Adalbert does not even need to commission anything, the things are there, ready to take off the shelf.

The temple of Shelyn is open. The acolytes do not seem to bother those coming in to pray or observe the beauty, but are ready to direct those needing directions and comment on any matters of faith and suchlike.

These would be available at standard prices if you want them brand new. A second-hand wand with (1d4)[4]x10 charges left can be found with a DC 20 gather info check.

This would be gather info. You'll more or less easily find public figures and those who want to be found that way. About others, it is much less certain. Also, an extensive search might attract some attention.
