OK, so if necessary Char will pay to have the ring checked for magic, but we need to decide how we're going to deal with the ring and the commander's sword. Char will suggest that, "Da comman'eer's swor' shou' be sol' an' da monies pay fer da repai' o' Arien's shaeel." He'll go with whatever the group decides on the ring and sword.
Afterwards, he plans on leaving Arien and Alloryn to catch up, Da' Moon to be Da' Moon, Maximus to do whatever he needs to do, Kilgim and Adrian the same, because a couple of days in the city, and Char's fed up with humanity and itching for the outdoors.
When Dwan calls for them again, Char will be in the nearby wilderness hunting, camping, fishing, camping, hunting, camping, and then doing it all over again. He'll avoid most everyone he doesn't know (he doesn't want a fight) except for any Freegate guards. That should make it easy enough for Dwan to find him again should he need to. As a matter-of-fact, Char will make his camp available to Freegate guards if they so desire it whenever they happen by, so that should make his whereabouts rather well known to any they report to, and thus to Dwan.
By the way...what happened to Sunset?
