"Okay, we'll take three Spinny Things, three Sun Panels" (One set for her Badgers, One to take Apart and attempt to Figure Out, and one to Sell Expensively in Absalom), "all three Board Games, and the Tiny Truck."

"Here are Two Gold Coins. We were Advised by a Badger-Hating Lady to Seek out the Pig Man, with the Golden Pig Flag. Was that a Treacherous Trick or merely Good Advice?"

That... Actually adds up to 301 chit, not the 300 he was going to offer for the coins, but quibbling over change does not seem conducive to his health here. 

The desk fans are all mismatched; He's a junk dealer, he doesn't have a hundred identical copies of everything! But the solar panels are all the same, since he actually bought 'em from Bastion.

"...The Golden Sow is a trading and mercenary company? If you're looking for something rare they're not the worst place to start."

Eriape's not that good at mental arithmetic. "Thank You, Good Trader! If you Find a Black Enamel Badger in, I will Buy it For Many Gold." She makes her Big Bag of Money appear, and then disappear again.

She gets the loot, puts it in her Purse, and swoops away.

"Well, Badgers, shall we See the Pig Man?"

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

She swoops down towards the Pig-flagged constructs.

The Golden Sow caravan consists of a large command crawler, a hulking steel construction the size of a large mansion, surrounded by a herd of trucks in varying sizes like a swarm of ducklings.

It was actually awaiting a delivery from that Bastion ship. They're pretty mad. The woman who comes out to harangue her about disrupting their deal is very rude about it and asks what she intends to do to make up for it.

"Oh, I am Sorry. You would Like Compensation? Shall I compensate You or for your Employer Directly?"

A generous enough compensation for the offense and opportunity cost might convince Glenn Barlu to meet her in person.

"Well I can Turn Someone into a Common Badger for him, him if he has Someone to Recommend."

(The woman talking to her looks shocked and a little bit sick. She's obviously communicating with someone, she whispers sharply for a little bit. Eventually, a tad reluctantly,)

"-He thinks that would be very amusing. There's a woman who betrayed us and owes us a lot of money she couldn't ever pay back that he wants to turn into a badger."

"That Seems Sensible as the Common Badger generally cannot pay back Money Either! Where is This Lady?"

Well, the Manager knew what kind of guy she worked for. No room for second thoughts now.

"...In the prison transport. This way."

The Pig Emblem-wearing employees all make way and give them plenty of room. They go to a giant truck, double-wide and running on treads. A woman is brought out from it; Dark-skinned, young, angry, thoroughly chained.

"So, is it finally time to execute me, you pack of robbers and demons?" The prisoner asks, then spits on the ground.

(A Fancily Dressed man with a mask is now watching from a balcony high up on the big walker. A large boar stands next to him, and he idly feeds it and pats it.)

Eriape waves happily to the Pig-Man. "Instead of Execution, you will get the Privilege of Becoming a Badger, Madam! This is a Rare Boon not often Granted Nowadays!" [Eriape's Benevolent Polymorph]

There's small, colorful poof of smoke, and the woman is...a badger.

Editor's Note: This is a variety of Baleful Polymorph that Eriape has developed, which only turns people into badgers. It does, however, allow Eriape to select if the will save to lose your intelligence is required or not

The pig man claps. "Marvelous! Creative disposal is such a wonderful solution to problems such as these! As word of this curse spreads, all will hesitate to double-cross the Golden Sow in future. Come on up for a discussion if you would like, fair mage."

Ah. A witch's curse. Her hatred for Glenn Barlu burns ever brighter, the ember of resentment flaring for long long moments.

Maybe she can run and hide, for now, and sneak into the air vents and bite his throat out in the night.

She will attempt to run away, then.

Eriape's certainly not going to prevent her from Running Away, Badgers are Free Creatures. 

Eriape flies the flying carpet up to where the Pig Man is standing. 

"Hello! I am Eriape, Princess of Badgers!"

Nobody bothers to stop the badger- Well, one person makes a halfhearted attempt to catch her, gets bit on the hand, and gives it up.

"Hello! I am Glenn Barlu, a trader and collector of some means. Welcome, Princess of Badgers. I'm sure whatever you did that spooked the White Griffon's crew is just a big misunderstanding. We can sort it out later, and thank you for helping me start a deliciously frightening rumor. What business are you here for, then?"

He steeples his fingers and leans forward in his seat. His pig companion looks to have some metal bits, on closer inspection. Internal armor?

Eriape also Leans forward, and looks at him with the glowing sparks in her eye-sockets. Is he Magic?

"I am an Undying Lady Wizard, Specializing in the Obverse Power, and I live on Another Plane of Existence! We are Visiting in Order to look for a Lost Magical Artifact!.  It is Called the Molthune Badger, and it may Appear covered in Black Enamel, or in its Original Form, which is Gold and Jewels and Invulnerable."

He is a little bit magic.

'Undying', makes sense, if you can do that of course you will! Another plane of existence? Well, magic is magic, that's why it's terrifying, it's rare but you can never rule anything out.

"Badger... A badger sculpture, invulnerable... I cannot say this is familiar to me. Most things are vulnerable to sufficient force. If you like, I can put out the word that I am looking for any information on this item. The more detail I have on what it may be like and how it can be told apart from fakes, the better."

"That would be Appreciated."

"I would Pay a Substantial Sum in Gold for Information or a Large Sum for the Item itself!"

She thinks for a moment. 

"It is said to be a Statue of a Badger,  Standing on Hind Legs, about the Size of a Human Baby. Obviously Very Heavy, has Black Pearl Eyes, and is covered with Black Jade and Diamonds for Fur and It is said to be the Key to the Summoning of a Certain Powerful Entity."

He writes this down on a very fancy-looking notepad.

"It's nice to work with someone who knows the value of information. I'll arrange for an announcement with my nightly radio show. Would you mind terribly if I said I wanted it for myself? I'm known as a collector of oddities, so it's less suspicious."

"It makes Sense! I am Very Powerful, and Very Rich, and I make Good Magic Items, so I am Reasonably Confident you will want to Sell It to Me if you Find It."

"Magic items sound really quite interesting, what sorts of things do they do?"
