And then they realize "Oh, Karak Eight Peaks is not right next to a forest." And they go home, because Asrai trying to fight in the mountains would be about as bad as the Dwarves trying to fight their way into a forest. That is, very bad.

I'd be more than happy to have Mathilde to pull her extra-secret superweapon out of her hat and drown the mountain in the vengeful spirits of the dead... but we're currently on the job for helping the expedition, and we'll doom it to failure if we kick off a conflict of that size and nature. Divided Loyalties strikes again, I'm afraid.

Considering the acorns most likely last for ages until actually planted, pretty high?

Jesus christ i cant believe people are contemplating spending a thousand gold on the acorn as a gift for pan. Talk about tacky.

It's rather interesting that the Chaos Dwarves allowed the sale of said golden arm. Mathilde can't recognize it, but I'm sure the chaos dwarves would know better.

There is 99.95% chances of being a lizardmen magic artifact... 800 gold is extremely cheap in that case.
The same logic applies to the arm as with the Acorn, since it's been pretty definitively identified by the thread as an Old One artefact at this point, tbh.
So yeah, I'm kinda of the opinion that we should just buy everything, if only for the reason of denying it from the more unscrupulous factions of the world. We can figure out what to do with them later.

And Pan will go. "I've got this pot" for it.
So uhh ... how is Mathilde planning on hauling the food back? Enough food to matter for an expedition this large is a LOT of food.
The elves use them to create artifacts or as a power reserve.

We are absurdly rich. It is literally a rounding error for us.
Also, it is a cool mystery box. Who can resist a cool mystery box? Not SV questers, that's for sure.

We pay a few silvers to some dudes, and they put them on the expedition path, no big deal

[X] HALL: Yes
[ ] HALL: No
We may only be able to save 1 or 2 Slaves and safely leave with them on our Shadow Steed, but it is better to save even 1 than to save none.
[ ] MEAT: Yes
[X] MEAT: No
Far too high a chance that the meat is tainted or has gone bad.
800 gold coins?
[X] ARM: Yes
[ ] ARM: No
Yes, as still has gold value and I love the mystery box.
1000 gold coins?
[X] NUT: Yes
[ ] NUT: No
Absolutely! Our Jade Girl would love it and there is always the option of trading it to Ulthuan or the Wood Elves.
200 gold coins?
[X] PAPERS: Yes
[ ] PAPERS: No
No risk of Magic Toads on a Rampage to get sketches and rubbings, plus useful and exotic if we write a Paper later.
I kind of think the Writer may be in the Slave Hall, she may want her notes back if we can free her....

I miss Wildstar...
I thought the Lizardmen only went to war over the plaques? The artifact is an arm, not a plaque.

I'm saying "What are the chances we figure it out before one of them goes 'let's plant it and see what happens'."
No one is going to start a war with us over owning the acorn, not when they send spellcasters out into the world wearing it as a good luck charm. At worst, we're going to have a spellsinger visit us, ask how we obtained it, and then politely ask us to return it when they discovered we didn't kill for it.
Also:
That sounds pretty damn useful to me.

But it won't be Mathilde doing that! It'll be Gabriella von Ernachthafen who blows everything up and all Mathilde has to do is to duck out without anyone following her.

Amazing update. This place is so uncanny that I don't know how to react to it though. Like my first thought is that the papers must be safe, and the arm is a giant red flag made of smaller red flags, but for all I know the arm could be the safest one while the papers are full of etchings that drive you crazy if you read them.
As for the slave market, that's fucking grim, but forget dreams of rescuing a VIP Elf prince or whatever, I think freeing anyone at all would be worth it. I know there's nothing in there that we want to see, but following Ranald isn't just about getting magic coins and puppies, and it seems to me that walking away from their suffering would be like blasphemy for her.
