[X] Plan Key And Ki

Either we get the scroll or we don't a bid of 4 is harmless, because if nobody bids 4 / we win the coinflip it's definitely worth it, and if we don't walk home with it then it's no different from not bidding. Putting 5 on the key because, as we saw with the sandwich, that's enough for this level of interest.

I'm nervous about this.

I'm pretty sure one of the mystery items next round is going to be something we are really going to want but we definitely want the book.

But I want the 2 books this round as well and people seem to want the key to so here we go.

I consider the scrolls to be more important than the cookbook. The Encantus is coming up and everything that's been hinted about it could be summed up as 'the cookbook but better' so best to wait for the end so we can go all in on getting the best instruction manual.

Moving over to this since it's what's picking up momentum that's closest to my desired. Realistically we probably will lose one of the three, saving enough for round 3 IMO.
 
Alright then, we'll have a good chance of winning what we want while maintaining a good point stockpile for next round. I just hope Xanatos is going 4 on one of the books and 6 on the other, it'd be awkward to the with him twice during the same round.

Au contraire, the Encantus doesn't have a good recipe for Pineapple gumbo!

Also, the Cookbook has more options for hilarity with Tobe.

In the interests of pure honesty, you shouldn't vote for my plan if you have any desire to get another round 3 item and the Encantus. My idea is to basically just dump the rest of the money on the Encantus next round. If you aren't fine with that, you should vote for something else.

TAlISMANS! Hell, i'd argue we should dump our money on those. There are MANY Encatuses: THe Talismans are unique.
 
I don't know why people think the big money items are like, that good. They're the sort of thing that a whole magical community wants. We're new to this occult business. No need to put a target on our heads first time out. This is full of villains and apparently everyone is waiting for the high roller items.

We have enough even if we accidentally win all three (which would be nice) that we can do a strong bid on one item. If Xanatos wants the Encoder or whatever we can trade him copies of the scroll/cookbook and some cash for a copy I bet.

Talismans are cool. Encoder is cool.

They are certainly unique, but I'm not very interested in them; most of the powers seem like stuff we can do with super-science just fine. They are convenient, but do not meaningfully increment our capabilities like the magical manuals. I'm fine with passing on them.
 
I'm swapping my vote over to this from my own one, since it's pretty similiar in idea to mine and people are voting on it.

One of the talismans makes you actuall y immortal. Another brings objects to life.

Thanks for the honesty but I'm good. I doubt we will win all 3 items with 5 bids but we have a chance at winning all 3.

I'm expecting coin flips to see who won.

And I'm not even thinking about next round yet. That's going to be even more stressful I'm sure.
 
You see, one of the big reasons spending here might be a good idea is that the round 3 items are going to be the ones most sought after, and thus the most competitive ones. Cashing out here can still get us significant magical gains while allowing us to focus on a single big ticket item next round, instead of potentially spreading our efforts thin with many items. It could be said to be the less greedy approach even, since it focuses or efforts on things people have limited interest but would us quite a bit. And as I said, I value magical knowledge more than magical items, since knowledge is in fact our greatest deficiency in the field right now; and so focusing our efforts on remedying this part specifically seems important to me. I understand the desire to save, however.

I want the key personally, and while I want the book, I'd prefer if we only bid on two rather than three

As if Xanatos would ever allow us to get the Horse Talisman, that one should be his priority number 1. The Rat could also be good if it's offered, but the rest? Ehhh...

Edit: That's the Dog talisman apparently? Those 2 seem like they overlap a lot, frankly.
