Enough time had passed, it was time for another auction. However, unlike many of the previous ones, this was not hosted by the usual sort of the Archmage Association. This time, the auction came from a single, seedier group, headed by a man named Marcus. Though some locales refused to let advertisements for this auction be posted, those with means and money would find a way to discover it.
Auction Items with a number following them, such as 3x, means that the top 3 bidders will be the ones to receive the item. The rule where one must bid 10% more than the highest bid on a given item is still in effect. This does not apply to For Sale items.
Loaded Die (Lot A) (Starting Bid: 25,000c) 3x: "My boys robbed a gambling house, turns out they were enchanting their dice to give an edge to the house. Funny how that works."
Loaded Die (Lot B) (Starting Bid: 25,000c) 3x: "Those rotten bastards were plenty happy to laugh and take the money of the poor sops they drew in, cheating them of everything. They stopped finding it as funny when we burned it to the ground."
Loaded Die (Lot C) (Starting Bid: 25,000c) 3x: "And that was the end of them. But, enough story time. We've got three different sets of these for sale, so you can cheat when your life's on the line."
Celerium Recipe (Starting Bid: 75,000c) 2x: "Turns out there's more to be done with fairy powder than just basic alchemy. Like making it into Celerium, for instance. Best rush you could ever get, you feel like you could run a mile or ten. Now, normally I wouldn't ruin a good thing, let me and my boys be the only source of it, but we've need to scarper before the Delphinian authorities find us again. So, I'm willing to let go of a few trade secrets if there's willing buyers."
Still-Beating Heart (Starting Bid: 125,000c): "One of my boys found this in some biologist's laboratory, caught his eye immediately. It's a heart, still beating—looks a bit like someone tried to make it into jerky, too. 'Parently something to do with 'perfect undead?' Don't know what could be perfect about those rotting bastards."
An Analysis Of Wayfinding Precision And Heuristics (Starting Bid: 150,000c): "By Kraus, this is one of the most boring books I've tried to open. Somethin' about how to optimize the math the eggheads who know how to Wayfind need to do. Seems pretty handy if you're that kind of person. ...Oh, yes, this was so graciously donated by the Kess Archives, a thank you to them."
Arcanium Shipment (Starting Bid: 25,000c): "My boys and I boosted this shipment from a warehouse in Caethir a while back. 'Sposed to contain two hundred units of 'Arcanium.' Heaviest thing I've ever stolen—we can hardly move the damn thing. The stuff inside seems fine; blueish, glossy, dull. Willing to sell it on the cheap since we can't take it with us. No refunds."
Spell Scroll (Inversion) (60,000c) 5x: "A scroll that'll let you learn a pretty strange spell for a few hours. Pretty good at disorienting people, confuses the Hel out of 'em."
Celerium Batch (Contains 10) (35,000c) 5x: "Some of our excess supply of Celerium, all at a wholesale price. Perfect if you're interested in dealing or just want a sample of the stuff. One whiff and you'll never forget the feeling it gives you, I guarantee."
Vdalish Heavy Alloy (40,000c) 4x: "Some heavy metals very kindly donated by the Kess Archives. Stuff's real heavy, but my boys have had some good success reinforcing our armor and leggings with it, for when things get real bad."
Surplus Crate (10,000c) 10x: "We've got a bunch of stuff that needs t'go before we make ourselves scarce. So, we've put a couple items in some unmarked crates and are now selling 'em on the cheap. Who doesn't love gambling, hm?"
A veritable menagerie of dubious goods acquired in equally dubious manners.
Auction opens 5 PM PST on 6/9/2026, closes 5 PM PST 6/11/2026.
