Al and Cherish double-team the Shopkeeper for
MAXIMUM PERSUASION.(Barter: 12+2 Bartering+2 Bartering+5 Persuasion-10 Eyebrow Penalty) The Shopkeeper has never seen such a powerful force of bartering in his entire life. You've forced his hand. He gives you 1% off his entire inventory. Rounded down, of course.
You buy one Stat Point for BLOD, increasing your BLOD stat to +2/+2. Cherish buys three Fusion Scrolls!
(Common Sense: 18) You just KNOW the scrolls won't work on the anti-magic level, so you hold off on fusing one really large scroll.
The shopkeeper reminds you he also buys stuff if you want to sell anything. He'll even give you a 1% bonus! Rounded down, of course.

The "water" is magical separation fluid! Are you sure you want her to drink that?
Investigate Scaly Thing: +Derm, +Draco (2)
It's alright, we'll get him back. Eventually. Assuming nothing loots the chamber while we're taking four chapters to catch up with Al and ask him where the on button is and what corpse goes in what slot.
Hm. Obviously, that didn't happen with Slog. You get that same
feeling just thinking about what might have gone wrong (which could be anything because you don't know how Sanctuaries work).
Hey, wait, didn't Polydectes have two of those machines?
