How fun is SPAMKINGDOM series?

Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.
Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.
A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.
3/6
Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.
I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

Cortana scoffs at you.

"You want me to up the dwarves? Fine." Cortana Tigereye asks for a bar of iron, a bar of lead, and a bar of copper; these are easily provided by the palatial smiths.

She has the cyclopi bend the lead into shape of a circle, while the copper is melted down and then crushed into tiny speckles by the fiery dog's breath and paws. Then the iron bar is snapped into three pieces by the cyclopi. The flamingos then swoop everything in their beaks and deliver them into hands of the Sorceress.

She takes a breath, which causes the air in the throne room to visibly recede toward her mouth. The blows into her hands, causing a nobleman-toppling, furniture-flying gust of terrific wind. Everyone lands on the floor, and nobodty sees the magic of the Sorceress at work because a blizzard of bright golden snow engulfs her and then the entirety of the room.

Once she is done and the gold snow dissipates, there is a pitch black candlestick in the Sorceress' left hand. She holds it rather triumphiantly, and the candle on it is as if made of bronze, and the flame is an unusual one; it is dark blue and rather than pointing upwards, it is as if hugging the knot and the bronze candle - not a speck of material is melting however.

Slowly, Cortana approaches the throne and hands you the candlestick, and your fingers both freeze and sear on the tips in the same moment. The candlestick seems as if made of metals, but it is as light as a piece of rolled fabric its size would be.

"What item could be it be?"

Cortana snickers at you and brushes her hair.

"Candlestick of Weather. The fire neither burns nor can be extinguished."

Sorceress Tigereye then conjures up a scroll, which lands in the Treasurer's hands. He blinks several times at it and then at you, before moving up to you.

"No need for whispering, of course the price is higher than usual. Also, I must tell you, that we, the Sorceresses, have noted that you like to employ our services, and that you have Treasury full of wealth to share. Now, I want my part of it."

A) "May I negotiate a price down?"
B) "I refuse to pay such an exorbitant price!"
C) "Of course, you will have your riches."

Don't haggle with the Mistresses of magic.
Haggling with the masters of magic is alright though, they'll probably just make you go to the Citadel of black, evil doom rather than the stronghold of fire and fury, usually because it'll be funnier.

have we ever actually tried to negotiate with a sorceress? I mean, it seems like being a steady customer should get us a discount, not the other way around.

C Haggling with people who scoff at Dwarven magic doesn't seem like a good idea. *Prophet has flashbacks to the Dwarf-Methiant wars*

Be told do not have the sorceress do any magic.

Ask them to do the most powerful magic we ever have.

Good plan!

C so we are so broke we never ask for their help again.

We haggled before with a charismatic man

we got a +2 and got a -2 by angry sorcerer

got a 5 in the end that saved 2 economy

this time we might not have a +2 because our artifact is from a sorcerer, it might even backfire

You decide to pay the Sorceress what she requested.

Once she leaves and the Treasury is empty, you have the Candlestick transported to the Orcworld portal tunnel.

1182 AD, Autumn

Reports arrive from the Trade Commission about recent profits from trade.

Spices and glasswork sold poorly, but at least managed to bring some profits. Springwine didn't do better, either.

There is a hurried messenger from the Orcworld portal; but also, the cartographic expedition to the west has returned.

The guards are asking whom do you wish to see first.

A) Cartographers took some time, so they can wait a couple minutes more.
B) The Orcworld can wait; I'm more eager to hear what lies to the far west.
