I can't get to the alliance part. I got the quest A Sinking Feeling and I suggested to Atello and Ezzali to make peace. So when I go tell Atello that Ezzali will meet him, he does the "stupid bazzo" dialogue. In the quest A Sinking Feeling, I haven't talked to Zili Valera yet and I haven't sided with anyone. I can't find a way to make it peaceful. So I'm going to avoid the quest like the plague until I guess there's a patch for it. :/
