Base SP artifacts are sold at half-price because they're stock items - and others just to match those artifacts. Unholy Armor was sold to him by a player. The cloaks were sold for 120 gold apiece, does it make any sense to make a 216% profit off it at half price?

Maybe the traffic is really bad.

Or it could just be traffic on the magical airways. Also, I noticed the SP artifact trend in the market yesterday as well, but I don't think you've accounted for the fact that Fabian just doubles whatever an artifact's worth for those sold to him, Doc - 5 x 30 = 150 gold for the SP, and 50 for each gem, x 2 = 500 for his selling price.

Um...it sounds like you're trying to defend your choice of lie here. Let's make it easier....does anybody else have an alter ego from last game? We don't need details, just a yes or no would help.

Jeez, you're really jumping across the table for that wine.

CUUSOO projects give the creator 1% of the sales. Disregarding taxes and assuming the price is doubled (or tripled, however greedy you seem to think LEGO is ) your 300K investment would turn into roughly 6000 dollars. Don't know what numbers you're running.

That works too.

He drops off his seat, brushing himself free of dust. "Good work. Hopefully the rest of the journey to Aj-Kahr's warcamp is a little less...exciting."

Atramor nodded to Namyrra, pocketing the gold. "Thanks, mate." He took a seat at the bar, immediately ordering a rum and taking a deep swig.

Atramor stopped in the marketplace on his way back to the hall, failing to notice McCafferey having vacated his shoulder. He'd used most of his consumables in that damn desert and had to restock. He first dropped off his Desert Cloak and Galactic Armor at Fabian's, to have the Sapphire and Garnet transferred from the former to the latter at the cost of 200 gold. Additionally, he sold the already-obsolete Tricorne for 60 gold. He then made a stop at Portia's Potion shack, stuffing 3 Mulled Wines, 3 Smelling Salts, and 3 Grand Potions into his coat, handing over 270 gold in return. He glanced off to the side as he returned to have his artifacts picked up - swearing he'd seen Tarn alongside Ella not far away - but only shrugged, as he left the marketplace with 88 gold remaining.

That or Quest 3...or both? Don't forget Marilith who's still sealed in Zoot's Temple. That makes five thus far. Abraxas, Mephisto, Marilith, Ahriman, Namaah.

Strivvi II: Strive Hard with a Vengeance (Still for Robots). I wonder what the banner for the quest is going to look like.

Abraxas. I think he was Wrath, maybe Pride. Hmm. I wonder if none of this would've happened if we hadn't opened the bottle 83 quests ago looking for Potions.

The most logical thing to do is add giant killer robots to Strivvi. Are you writing all this down, Scuba?

Thanks for the awesome Quest Sandy. The pictures and atmosphere were, as always, incredible, and I liked the interaction with even the bit part NPCs like Ifrita and Hathor. The battles were enjoyable (though like Kint said I wasn't too crazy having nothing to do for a few days - punish the character, not the player ) and the desert mechanic was quite enjoyable. It's always fun to take part in a quest with an even more significant storyline behind it, much like the Wren Quests, and I'm really interested to see where things go with the Pandemonicon.

I love your goblin builds. They're so angry and adorable. Loving the color variation on them too, and the bow's nice. Are the pink bits all 1x2 plates?

Do not like. Especially when considering his inane contradictions. Vote: Bleeb (Bob).

I knew it. Forget Strivvi, bring on the giant killer robots!!

Difference is we still don't have any proof the latter actually exists...which is why I compare it to your quest.

I'd compare your quest production process more to Half-Life 3.

Sorry about your loss, Kintobor. Strivvi II has never looked more like a reality.

Ugh. Part of me wants to be annoyed we're still dealing with this alter ego stuff. The other part of me knows that we probably wouldn't have a lot to discuss otherwise. I agree. Between Helen saying these faith healers have non-monster-esque identities, combined with yours, plus Kingsley's, I don't think we're going to be gaining anything anyway. The scum won't have to risk claiming monster alter egos when they can claim a less-than-monstery one and let everyone assume they have a role. Frankly, where has analyzing this crap gotten us? A very likely PR lynch, plus our investigator outing himself? I don't want to put any more stock into these alter egos than we already have. That said, the discussion revolving around the issues has been telling to say the least.

Darn shame. I need to keep my NPC-slaying skills sharp.

There was a Guardian Angel out at the time. Which....I guess would be difficult to pull off if you don't have a Paladin in the party.
