I'll give this another hour.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Spoiler: Artifact (click to show/hide)

Name: Svíkja
Title: Hreidmars Doom
Powers: Able to create pure Gold, The Wearer will also be slowly cursed with a decadent mindset. Costs 1 LE per kg of gold.
Legends: The Otters Ransom - Originally a keepsake of dwarf Andvari, it was forcefully taken with all the dwarfs gold by Loki, who used it to pay a ransom for imprisoned Honir and Odin. Andvari was outraged at the deed, and layed a curse on his stolen wealth in front of the robber.
Appearance: A small, twisted ring - wrought from Gold
Uses: It will fit itself snuggly on any finger it is placed upon, Seeing it will spark greed inside of onlookers
Location: Uncovered in the ruins of olde norse capital Haithabu
Alignment: Neutral - Svíkjas power comes at a price, and she will not assume responsibility for the deeds of her owners

You are vaguely aware of the fact that you are slowly regaining consciousness after the last shut down when your previous holder left you in the old Norse capital of Haithabu. Someone has clearly uncovered you, and you observe the world through his senses.
You appear to be in some ruins but you can recognise some bits of the buildings. Wow. You must have been shut down for quite a while if all that's left is ruins of the formerly great city. You hear your holder say "This seems like an important find."
He seems to be trying to put you in a plastic bag now. What do you do?
1/100 LE.

Turn the bag into gold and inspire greed!

Also, attempt to shine temptingly.

[escaped lurker]

Shall we let him do just so?
He will look at us more closely soon enough, and before long will be drawn in by our curse. Or will he be lucky, and give us away before then? Yes, let us wait untill eyes full of greed shine upon us.

+1 if he's alone. If not:

The opposite: turn the bag to gold if there ARE more people around; get them to fight each other over us!

There are many people around, so you opt for just letting him do so. You'll have 3 days, even with the limited amount of power the human gave you, to plot on how to escape into the hands of a greedy wielder. You can no longer see or hear anything, but the bag feels vaguely uncomfortable. You are tossed in it a few times while whoever is carrying you brings you to wherever it is you will be kept. You are placed on a solid surface. What do you do?

LE 1/100 2 1/2 days left before shutdown.

((If we turn a mailable surface into gold does it stay flexible?))

[BlitzDungeoneer]

It turns into gold, therefore taking on all the properties of gold and nullifying any it may have had beforehand.

[The Froggy Ninja]

((Wasn't there a story arch in Full Frontal Nerdity where they played a game like this?))
Wait for someone to pick you up and then if they are alone or you're almost out of time turn the bag to gold.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

((I am not aware what Full Frontal Nerdity is, so I'll say no.))

[ShadowHammer]

Oh right, alerting lots of people to our presence will alarm the government. Forgot about that.

  ((It's a web comic. In one of the story arcs they played a game eerily similar to this.))

[BlitzDungeoneer]

((I actually got the idea from a little game called Ambitions and Artifacts. It's rather heavily modified, though.))
