Yuki gives her canine friend an expectant look.<br/><br/>"What?" Jess says. "I'm not just gonna hand 'em over for nothing. These things don't come cheap y'know."<br/><br/>"So ask for something," Yuki responds. "I'm sure she can afford to liquidate some assets." This time, Yuki's expectant glare  is leveled in Mindy's direction, matched by a questioning look from Jess coming over the tiefling's shoulder.<br/><br/>"So, uh... what've ya got?" Jess asks.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Knowledge (local) DC 10: "Quickie" is slang for a potion of quick digestion, a staple black-market item for many Pact breakers. One potion can speed the digestive process from eight hours to about half a minute. Normally, Quickies are expensive (close to 1000 gold) because of their short supply and questionable nature; here in Armel, they're sold openly, but the high demand keeps prices just as high as before.<br/><br/>A higher Knowledge check result will give a better idea of price, and locations to buy.</div></div></div>
