Helping Make Ends Meat

A quest given by the Meatsmith at The Meatsmith.
 * "A few weeks ago, this guy trying to open a skeleton store came in here and bought a crate of weapons and armor. He said he'd be right back with a check, but for some reason, after he took a big crate of weapons and armor into his store filled with skeletons, he never came back to pay me. I don't suppose you could head over and see what's up? I'd do it, but like I said, I'm really busy. I'll make it worth your while, I promise."

After accepting:


 * "Thanks," says the Meatsmith. "I really appreciate it. The skeleton store is right next door."

When approaching the Skeleton Store, the players will notice that the "Opening Soon" sign has been replaced with a "Grand Opening" sign.

Upon defeating the Former Owner of the Skeleton Store, he will drop a Check to the Meatsmith. Upon returning the check:


 * The Meatsmith excitedly takes the check and looks at it. His smile falters.


 * "Ah. A check made out in the amount of 'forty skeletons,' drawn from an account at 'The First Skeleton Bank of Skeletons.' I'm pretty sure that guy just doesn't understand what words mean."


 * "Well, especially not now that he's been killed once by skeletons and again by me," you reply.


 * "Ah well," he says, "a deal's a deal, I guess. Here ya go."

The Meatsmith will award the players with 5 Meat Stacks and tell them:


 * "Bring me back one of these Meat Stacks with some other smithing components and I can fashion whatever kind of weapon or armor you'd like. For a price of course. Your reward is my attention, not free labor"
