The Strength of Friendship

Help [111289|Hal] take the [202533|Strange Machine] and sell it to [111211|Shana] at the <CP>[ZONE_KARDAMOTH|Kadmos Trading Post]</CP>.

Oh...haha...hahaha...that's quite funny...
([111289|Hal] suddenly lets out a hearty laugh, and you watch him curiously.)
So it turns out that, of the three of us, none dare to go on this journey...that's right...could it have been predestined? It seems that this is the case...oh, I've decided to abandon this journey...after all, if they can't go with me, then this adventure wouldn't be much of an adventure...

I can't believe that I suddenly had the intention of abandoning my friends. I'm ashamed of that now...I almost lost myself over this [202533|Strange Machine]. I think I should just destroy it...
([111289|Hal] looks at the strange contraption he has created, as if he is considering something.)

Oh, I know! Here's what we'll do! Could I ask you to take this machine and sell it to [111211|Shana]? Yes, yes, yes that miser [111238|Jaffia's] daughter. They love to collect amazing and strange things. What would I gain by destroying this machine? It would be better to at least make a profit by going and selling it.

I don't know how much she would offer you for it, but I think it won't be very much...so I'll just let you hang on to the money to finance your travels...and let that be a small token of three old men's appreciation of you...

What do you say you want to sell me? A strange machine? How strange is it?
([111211|Shana] inspects the machine, and she suddenly gasps.)

Oh, you're such a bumpkin! How is this a strange machine? It's obviously a...obviously a...a Cyclops catapult!

I really don't know how you got your hands on something good like this...but, even though I like it, that doesn't mean I'll pay a lot of money for it. You'd better not demand too much.

Ha! This is my best offer. Don't even hope for one coin more!
