I'm catching up! And sweet omissiah, I've never seen a quest throw away loot like this.
"Magical bracelet for warping reality and punching through tanks? Give it to random robo girl!"
"Intact alien super-capital ship? Use it as bait for angry robot just to make it angrier!"
"Killed legendary dragon and could eat its heart or cancel the apocalypse even harder? Throw it away, you don't know where it's been!"
In order:
1.) Literally, actually a reality deviant artifact by one of its most senior and dedicated enemies that was entirely Technocracy non-OK to keep.
2.) Giant alien spaceships are actually useless on earth unless you have DSci 5 for Format Space, and if you do, expect the Void Engineers to start asking questions, questions like "how fast will you give us this ship in exchange for us not turning the realm defence grid on your invading craft".
3.) It was heart and seat of power of the
literal representation of avarice, greed and corruption in a setting where these things do, in fact, have consequences. To partake of that power would have resulted in an inevitable, could-not-avoid tainting of what is probably the most zen and secondmost moral adult in the party. It is a very good lesson that
@MJ12 Commando will totally throw poisoned shinies at his readers and then, if they fail to spot the fact that they are poisoned, point at them and go "this is where you fucked up, and let me tell you how an why" while they are dying of poison.
Now if there's bits of loot to be salty about, it's the Barnes-Sykes Knife of the Cods and the smart pistol.
We will reclaim the knife, Emmjay

, or I will eat you. Gib catknifefight.
