Quest text[edit]
<player>, I have been giving this badge a bit more thought and I feel that there is an opportunity to earn a bit of profit... if you are interested?
- Yes, I am.
Excellent. There's an old saying, "opportunity plus instinct equals profit", and my instinct is saying we have an opportunity here. The badge is valuable and I could resell it, but it would take time and effort. I could use your legs and your effort and split the profit with you. Sound like a plan?
- An equal split of the profit?
Discuss with Karios about his business opportunity
Well... I suppose 50-50 will be sufficient. Speak to the villagers, try to negotiate the best price you can. Get their credit slip and return to me. I will finalize the deal with them and split the profits with you... 50-50.
Game Feedback: He grumbles
Good day and welcome to my shop. What can I do for you?
- <Show her the badge> Would you like to buy it?
Curious. The Scorched Legion. It is a pretty badge, a bit of gold and silver, but I don't think I could make much from it. I'll give you 3 silver. What do you say?
Speak with Amenath again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
That's a deal, then! Here, take this Credit Slip. I have some business to finish first and we will complete our bargain later.
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
Welcome to my shop! What do you bring me on this fine day? Mummified organs? Insect larvae? Shiny hoard items?
- <You show her the badge.> Not exactly. What would you offer for this badge? I was told it was rare.
Let's see. A military badge? Not much precious metal on it. It doesn't look very valuable. But I would offer 3 silver for it.
Speak with Kelansu again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
That's a deal, then! Here, take this Credit Slip. I have some business to finish first and we will complete our bargain later.

Glad to see you back, <player>. Have you found a customer for the badge?
- Yes, here is the Credit Slip.

So.... how much have you brought.... What? Three silver coins? THREE SILVER? I told you it was worth at least TEN silvers and you have accepted to sell it for 3s? Seriously? And you call this making business? Grrr... take your share and out of my sight!
Greetings, Gifted! What can I serve you? We have some fresh ale from Aughundell. Or maybe would you be interested in some delicacies of Kion?
- <You show her the badge.> Maybe later. I am selling this badge and I would like to know if you were interested..
Oh, what a nice little jewel! It looks old. It would be pretty on my tunic. I'll give you 8 silver for it.
Speak with Ahnna Borrai again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
What? Ten beers? Yes, yes, I come! Sorry, it seems you have brought with you a bunch of thirsty customers, haha. Take this Credit Slip, we will talk business later. ...With Sugared Dates? Of course!
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
A <race>. I'm sorry, my shop and I have been requisitioned by the militia to make a hundred bows. Hundred! I work alone, so I am a bit busy. So tell me what you want and be quick.
- <You show him the badge.> So I'll go straight to the point: I am selling this badge and I would like to know if you were interested.
A badge? What do you want I... wait a minute... it is from the Scorched Legion, isn't it? My grandfather told me many stories about it when I was a cub. This badge would remind me of this time. What about 8 silver?
Speak with Alehm'kirr again if you accept his offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
I don't have the coin with me at the moment. But let me give you this Credit Slip. Once I have finished my order for the Militia, my purse will be full enough to purchase the badge.

Another Gifted enters my shop. Are you here to join the Weaver school?
- <You show him the badge.> I am here for business. I have this badge for sale if you are interested.
That is an interesting design. Oh, that gives me some ideas for new tapestries. Yes, I could use it for patterns. Would you sell it for 8 silver?
Speak with Bashale again if you accept his offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
I assume you want proper paperwork to complete the bargain. I don't have time for that at the moment, but let me give this Credit Slip to secure the transaction.
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
At least, here you are! Do you know how long... Oh, I beg your pardon, Gifted. I thought you were Geleon's assistant, I am waiting for a batch of spells for my new recruits. What can I do for you?
- <You show her the badge.> I want to sell that rare badge. Would you be interested in purchasing it?
The Scorched Legion. These undead are resistant to flame and are difficult foes for the young Mages. This badge could be an interesting starting point for a new lesson for my recruits. I would give you 8 silver for it.
Speak with Rennis again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
Thank you. Unfortunately, I only have enough coins for the spells I am waiting for and I can't leave this place until this assistant arrives. I will write a Credit Slip for you to finalize our bargain later.
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
Five Cedar Longbows... fifty arrows... seven Bronze Chainmail Chestguards... uh... Oh, hello there. I haven't noticed you. I'm assessing my material. It's so boring but some chores have to be done. How can I help you?
- <You show him the badge.> I was wondering if a military person like you would be interested in such a badge. I'm selling it.
Have you really found a badge of the Scorched Legion? Don't be surprised: I am very interested in the history of my people. I know many tales about them. I also enjoy collecting trinkets from past eras. Sadly, the order of Rangers got a budget cut so my pay was reduced. I can only offer you 8 silver for it.
Speak with Rialtos the Wary again if you accept his offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
Not only was my pay reduced, but payment is also late! Let me tell you that being a Ranger requires some dedication nowadays! I don't have enough coins for the moment, but I'll give you a Credit Slip until the Empire remembers the order exists.
Glad to see you back, <player>. Have you found a customer for the badge?
- Yes, here is the Credit Slip.

So... how much have you brought.... Eight silver coins? I'm a bit disappointed, I was expecting more. But that could have been worse. It is not always easy to find the right suck... errr... CUSTOMER! Anyway, here is your share. Safe travels, Gifted.
Greetings Gifted. I'm sorry, my order book is already full and I won't accept any new work for at least two weeks. I've taught my art to some of your kind. You should ask them if you are in a hurry.
- <You show her the badge.> I am not here to order new jewels, but to sell this.
It's only an old badge. Why would I buy this? Oh... hold on. Let me take my magnifying lens.. How was this made? I don't know this crafting technique.. I am an experienced Jeweler and this is something I have never seen. I need this badge for study. I would gladly offer 15 silver for it!
Speak with Bastea again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
Thank you. Let me take my purse. Oh no, I was a bit enthusiastic but I don't have enough money right now. Let me give you a Credit Slip for the moment. I will have your money very soon, don't worry.
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
What a fine Gifted we have here! Let Dimman take care of everything to make you stylish! Let me show you some of my wares. This maybe? No, that's last year's fashion... this maybe? No, not sophisticated enough for someone of your caliber. In that box maybe... oh, that would just be dandy!
- <You show him the badge.> Hold on. I'm not here to restyle myself, but to know if you would be interested in this accessory I have for sell.
Mmmmh. Oh wait, would it be...? One of my customers asked me to find him some ancient clothes for an historical reconstruction about the feats and demise of the Scorched Legion. He told me about a badge, but I had no idea where to find something that would fit. And you show me no less than a real one? You bet I'm interested! 15 silver! I'll give you 15 silver for it!
Speak with Dimman again if you accept his offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
Merrasat Be Blessed! My customer will be satisfied. A real badge, that is unexpected. However, he should have brought me a deposit to start my work and he hasn't come yet and my purse is empty. But I know he will. Meanwhile, would you accept a Credit Slip... please?
Game Feedback: Return to Karios with your credit slip to get your share of the coin.
Glad to see you back, <player>. Have you found a customer for the badge?
- Yes, here is the Credit Slip.
Return to Karios to complete your business
So... how much have you brought.... Fifteen silver coins? By Merrasat, you are a better trader than I had imagined! Here is your coin. Come back anytime: I will always have something for someone of your skill.
Welcome, Gifted. I have many formulae to sell, do you wish to see what I have to offer?
- <You show her the badge.> I am not here to buy but to sell this ancient badge. Would you be interested?
Oh, very ancient. Yes... Saris origin. But this is expected here in Kion. This symbol... I have read something about it. The Scorched Legion, isn't it? A sad story of heroes turning into outcasts because of their thirst for revenge. Your badge is an interesting piece of history but also a nice shiny trinket. And I LOVE adding trinkets to my hoard when they are SHINY! 20 silver seems a reasonable offer for it. How about it?
Speak with Xarinnis again if you accept her offer. Otherwise, find another potential customer.
Mmmh... Yes, shiny! But... I was a bit spendthrift with hoard items lately... and of course, money is tight. I know, I shouldn't offer a hefty price for an item if I don't have the money. But I will sell some of these hoard items to the Oddities Broker later today. For the moment, I have a shop to run, so please accept this Credit Slip as a commitment to buy.

Glad to see you back, <player>. Have you found a customer for the badge?
- Yes, here is the Credit Slip.
Return to Karios to complete your business
So... how much have you brought.... Twenty silver coins? TWENTY? But that's the double of my estimate. Hahaha, how were you able to swindle such a gullible one? You could even teach Marcus and let me tell you he's a cunning one! You have more than earned your share of the coin. See you soon... partner!
