The kiosk did its thing, scanning the RV and throwing up stats about dimensions, fuel, range, etc.  Allistor added in his description of the comfortable leather seats, marble countertops, and extensive storage.  When he thought it sounded properly snooty, he set the minimum bid at fifty thousand klax and started the auction.  He set it for three days.

Already planning to retrieve more of them, he would sell the fancy ones and keep the more utilitarian models.  The fewer fancy gadgets, the less likely something would malfunction.  He wanted his vehicles to be workhorses, not luxury rides.

Just for kicks, he took his stack of shellback meat from his ring.  He’d forgotten to give it to Meg, and she wasn’t going to notice.  He took half the stack and put it up for auction at a thousand klax.  If the shellback was as rare as it seemed in the description for its heart, the meat might be valuable too.  If so, they could sell a chunk of it and purchase large quantities of something like burgers.

He kept the heart in his ring.  He wanted some time to research its potential value.  If he put it up for sale and made a hundred thousand klax, then found out it was worth twice or ten times that amount, he’d be kicking himself.

Returning the rest of the shellback meat to his ring, he went back to the fountain and took a seat.  He spent some time just watching as folks moved around the cavern.  So far there hadn’t been any arguments between the different group members, and he hoped it stayed that way.  Of course, no large group of humans could live in harmony for long.  There would be jealousies, both professional and personal.  Disputes over crafting items, or who would go out on foraging expeditions.  And if they suffered losses, it was likely blame would be placed.   He anticipated all of that.  But for now, things were peaceful.

He took a few minutes to go through his notifications from the last few days.  He’d mostly waved them away as he was busy dealing with more important things.  Primarily they were about experience points awarded and Fame Points received.   There was an increase in his Improvisation skill that, based on the timing of the notice, seemed to have happened when they used the normally long-range cannons to kill the shellback.   He also got a level increase on his Restraint skill when he managed to freeze the giant turtlesaur thing for a fraction of a second.
