We DO have something planned, so bail.

You hurry down Harbour Street past a row of fishermen's cottages on the right-hand side. The left-hand side of the streets is lined with small supply shops catering mainly to seafarers. There is a sign above one of the small shop windows which says Finbar's Fireworks. The wooden entrance door is slightly ajar.
Go in the shop?
Keep walking towards Singing Bridge?

Agreed, since this sounds like it isn't a one-way trip unlike taking up a new job entirely.

You are greeted on entry by a portly man with a round face and a balding head. He is standing behind a small counter in a grey apron and rolled-up shirtsleeves. His slightly downturned mouth makes him look a bit grumpy. His shop floor is crammed with barrels of fireworks, each one labelled with colourful names like wiz-bang and rip-rap and zoom boom. There are some smaller wooden kegs standing on the counter that are marked black powder. 'How can I help you?' the man asks courteously. Will you:
Ask about buying some fireworks?
Ask about buying some black powder?
Leave the shop and walk to Singing Bridge?

Well, it looks like we're meant to buy some powder to go with our pistol and lead balls, having laboriously assembled the plot objects into a working firearm. If we have to shoot a plot lizard man to complete the homage, I will be tickled.
On the other hand, I'm not ruling out that it could all be some monstrous multi-part red herring.
Half a vote to buy powder.

(Strangely the book assumes you have a pistol if you're interested in black powder, despite it being entirely possible to not have one, either from losing the dice game, not having a ruby to wager, or just not playing the dice game and/or even going to the bar. Of course, that doesn't matter in our case.)
Finbar asks to look at your pistol. You hand it to him, telling him how you came to be its owner. He looks down the barrel and inspects the flintlock mechanism, saying, 'It's old and needs a good clean, but I've seen worse. The flint needs replacing or it won't fire. I usually charge 2 Gold Pieces to service a pistol. But I'll give you a good deal. Buy a pouch of black powder for 2 Gold Pieces and I'll service your pistol for 1 Gold Piece.
Pay 3 Gold Pieces?

You take the Chaos Warrior's gauntlets, which fit you perfectly. Add 1 SKILL point. You find nothing in his pockets, but the leather pouch on his belt contains a yellow handkerchief. You unfold it and cannot believe your eyes. Klash lied to you. Lying in the palm of your hand is a large gold ring, an elaborate design of intertwining snakes with their heads locked together, mouths open. It is the Ring of Burning Snakes, the one thing that Nicodemus needs to defeat the Demon Prince, Zanbar Bone. Time is short. You must rescue Nicodemus before Lord Azzur silences him for ever, and return his fabled ring to him. You put the ring in your pocket and run across Singing Bridge in pursuit of the guards.
Singing Bridge leads into Bridge Street. You run past the ramshackle houses as fast as you can, and on into the market square. The market is a place of hustle and bustle, with vendors shouting out their special offers in the hope of attracting the last customers of the day. You dash through the crowd, looking from person to person, but see no sign of the guards or Nicodemus. A young urchin runs up to you and says, 'Hey! Who are looking for?' You ask him if he saw an old man being marched through the market square by two guards a few minutes ago. The boy smiles and nods his head, saying, I'll tell you which way they went if you pay me 1 Gold Piece!' There are five streets leading out of the square, any one of which the guards could have gone down.
Pay 1 Gold Piece for the urchin's information?
Decide for yourself which street to go down?
(Our health's pretty low. Do we want to eat a meal or two before continuing?)
