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.

You consider what could be the third task. An obvious answer; the third and final task, matching with what the Wizard said, is to put the old king's body to rest.

You scoop up the bone dust from the chair and place it into the sarcophagus, and the remainder on the skull on top of the dust. You look at the chair and the two items that remain there.

Out of pure curiosity, you check the crown and the knife; the crown is ancient, and bears the marks of Kingdom of Luathbas! Whether it is ceremonial or regal crown, you're not sure, but you could claim to be restorer of Luathbas with this.

The knife, you pull out, is surely magical or at least from magical metal. It has the polish and sharpness that absolutely cannot belong to a weapon as old as the sheath and the handle would indicate, but there it is, not touched by rust or grime. You wonder if this is Sky Iron, rumored to kill monstrosities and mystical beings. After all, King Feodh did have one, from what you remember from the stories of old.

Ultimately, you decide to...

A) Keep both, Feodh's body has been already put to rest.
B) Return to crown to King Feodh, but he sure doesn't need the knife!
C) Put them both into the sarcophagus, just to be sure.
D) Seize the crown for yourself, the knife can remain here though.

We technically could make off with both (since the crown is supposed to pass to the next king and artifacts aren't buried with their owners anyway) but I'd feel bad about stealing from someone so much worse off than ourselves.

[Rockeater]

C so no grave robbing tonight then

[Fluffe9911]

B the knife isnt that important (plus its kinda one our more memorable artifacts with alot of history)

Maybe we can ask the kindly Wizard whether either artifact might be safely claimed later.

We are not Luathbas. We are Methiant! No need for the crown.

I'm sure that Stuborn Cyl still wants to get his sword back from the dwarves, so claiming another artifact blade would be OoC for him.

C If they were buried with him taking them would likely invalidate our work of "honor."

And our own crown is superior by virtue of being imperial, which Luathbas never managed despite the nostalgia surrounding the dynasty today.

It would provide cassus belli for an invasion though, given that we hold the crown of their ancient king, and therefore hold a claim upon Luathbas.

We already own much of Luathbas tho. I'm not sure there is much left to invade. Koi maybe? But we already have Cassus Belli against their silver withholding master.

C.  We'll get haunted by his ghost if we take his grave goods, or the Wizard won't help us.  Bad, bad things will happen.

Ahhh SO NOOOOW YOU DONT WANT TO GRAVEROB?  Graverobbing is a time honored tradition that has never had negative consequences.

Yeah, but this time if we fuck it up it is our own ass physically on the line. Also, don't want to mess anything up until the wizard makes the megabeast go poof.

Ya know, it was really robbing dwarf or elf graves that caused any bother. Opening up the Tygwand (human pre-Luathbas) tomb netted us a nice ceremonial staff.

But still voting not to let down the wizard. Immortal avatars of Syrupy Goodness get so judgy sometimes.
