-1 to giving Ciro's blood to shopkeepers.

Also, please register my soul class as Doom Incantor, in case I ever get summoned.

+1 to digging the tunnel.

EDIT: Changed my +1 vote.

I can't count how many votes there are for or against selling two shopkeepers to each other.
Especially with these conditional blanket votes. There's just so many of them.
Therefor, I'm proposing a new modified action:
Sell Shopkeeper A to Shopkeeper B. Sell Shopkeeper B to Shopkeeper C. Sell Shopkeeper C to Shopkeeper A. Then try to buy them all back, but tell each that their competitors are selling shopkeepers for lower prices until they're all dirt cheep.
This way we'll be harder to track, with three in the loop.

InB4 shopkeeper keeps shopkeeper-in-a-cans in vest for instant deployment and selling, making our offer worthless.
Shickingly, I still -1 this for the same reasons. Do we even know where three shopkeepers are?

I has a question:
Why did we never try bloodshaping money?
Money is only worth as much as the seller is willing to accept for it, and if we can't sell useful items made out of our blood, no one's going to accept coin-shaped clots.

But blood is more useful for magic then metal is. Therefore our Blood Coins should be worth more.
1. No, it isn't. We've never seen any blood magic in the Warrens, but we've seen plenty of metallic magitek.
2. You don't get how currency works, do you?

Ciro is going to be a blood donor?
Either way,

+1 to shopkeeper shenanigans
-1 to blood money.

we could also try offering the shopkeeper a ridiculous amount of money for their blood (they allow us to use it for bloodshaping for money), this reduces their mhp, we do it on the condition that they present the blood in nice little blood crystals that we buy but once the crystals are made we say we "forgot" the most of our money so we need to get it from the storage and run off to a save point, save, load, the shopkeeper's hp should be reduced to mhp so if we did it right we could just punch the bastard and u haff won gaem

opinion?

We can't bloodshape the blood of other people.

you do realize the "hey let me pay you for bloodshaping you" part is bullshit

a decoy

a way to coerce it into putting its blood into items

fuck if it asks let's just say we'll absorb it and use it as our own blood for bloodshaping purposes besides how would it know the specifics of our skills, unless you're assuming they come with built-in turboscanning abilities (probable)

Transmution. Because it transmutes blood.
"Blood Magic" refers to magic powered by blood, which we have never seen.

we could also try offering the shopkeeper a ridiculous amount of money for their blood (they allow us to use it for bloodshaping for money), this reduces their mhp, we do it on the condition that they present the blood in nice little blood crystals that we buy but once the crystals are made we say we "forgot" the most of our money so we need to get it from the storage and run off to a save point, save, load, the shopkeeper's hp should be reduced to mhp so if we did it right we could just punch the bastard and u haff won gaem

opinion?
The shopkeepers are not idiots, and they probably can't crystallize their blood. Also, shopkeepers have access to MHP bonuses. This would fail. Horribly.

-1 to shopkeeper stuff.

We tried to convince shopkeepers before and their eyebrows come with a pretty heavy penalty for us.

Perhaps we should bloodshape Groucho glasses and see if they come with eyebrow bonuses.
Also Ciro in Groucho glasses seems a bit tough to pass up.

I imagine that in order to that we'd need to spend MHP equal to or greater than half a normal shopkeeper's MHP... which I imagine is probably high.

What if we just try eating little cookies like they hand out at Red Cross blood drives and see if that restores our blood?
