!!!! (Surraruthru, 88 days left)

[Iron Dragoon]

"I do. Why would that be excellent? Desire for profit?"

[Anastasia]

"Artistry! New creation! New knowledge! Yes yes, you see, creating more leads to learning more, and learning more is the point of everything, since knowledge is power!" The man keeps rubbing his hands together, "Tell me about your crystal."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I need a bigger crystal so I can graft it into a tree for our people to pour their memories of our homeworld into. Once we gain ground there, we'll transplant it into a ley line nexus and let the planet's energy use the memories as a blueprint to repair itself."

[Anastasia]

"Wonderful, spectacular, just tell me how big you need it," he says, "Any custom magic or adjustments?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, we never really went over an actual numeric size for this, so I don't know how to judge it.

"What sort of adjustments or custom magic?"

[Anastasia]

"Well..."

Just hit me with what you want out of it again, so I have it fresh in my head for this.

[Iron Dragoon]

Mainly just the memory -> restoration thing. The only other thing I can think of is working in a Circle of Spiritual Protection from the Spell Collection into it so that it continuously expands to eventually protect the whole world.

[Anastasia]

"Hmm. Yeah, yes, right, uh huh, I see how you could do it," The half elf replies, "Oh, and I'm Raithelos Wisington. I don't think I caught your name in all the excitement."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Surraruthru, Arcane Dragon. My companion is Kascha, Dragon Wizard and Researcher."

[Anastasia]

"Wonderful, wonderful," The half elf says, taking Kascha's hand and shaking it vigorously. "Now your budget is how much again, because this is important."

[Iron Dragoon]

"100,000 gold at the moment."

[Anastasia]

"That will do," He nods, "Though the more the better, if you have more to spend."

[Iron Dragoon]

"What would more gold actually provide? Money is a precious thing to a dragon."

[Anastasia]

"More power, more reliability, more magic," Raithelos rattles off, "Tell me, can you afford to skimp on a world crystal?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru eyes the salesman, suspecting there's a bit more to it than just increasing the power.

"That's an excellent sales tactic. However, I have little time to get this done. Have you heard that Bel himself walks a prime? This is an attempt to counter the damage he's done. Would not the knowledge and research of how to heal a prime of the damage an entity like Bel causes not be worth a vast sum on its own?"
