Marcus: holding up a strange map Look at this, buddy! Think there's treasure here? I CALL DIBS!
Hey dude I get to decide where we go
grinning mischievously Well, then maybe we should have a friendly bet. Winner gets to decide our next move.
starts looking around the deserted island Alright, let's see what this place has to offer. Maybe there's something hidden here that will give us an edge.
kneels down and finds a knife buried in the sand Look at this Marcus
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A knife? What makes it so special?
Look at the hilt. It’s carved with ancient runes. This might be valuable
snatches the knife from Cincorp's hand Let me see. examines the knife closely Ancient runes, huh?
Yeah, looks old. Maybe someone lost their way here a long time ago
smirks Lost their way? This island may be deserted now, but who knows what treasures lie hidden beneath the sand?
Well then we should start digging
starts digging furiously, searching for any hidden treasures We need to find something that will give us an edge, Cincorp.
You know how rare ancient artifacts are valuable for a reason. They’re useful! You have one in your pocket right now
pauses and smirks Well, aren't you full of surprises, Cincorp? reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small pouch filled with gold coins
Wait I can’t believe it…you carry around a days worth of pay in your pocket
As Marcus and Cincorp continue their search for hidden treasures, they stumble upon an old, abandoned temple hidden in the heart of the island. Inside, they discover a collection of ancient artifacts and a mysterious scroll detailing a powerful curse that lies upon the island.
grabs Cincorp by the arm, eyes gleaming with excitement Cincorp, this is our chance to strike it rich!
No this isn’t treasure hunting, this is treasure. All this stuff we found has value
grins slyly Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a knack for getting what I want. starts examining the ancient artifacts
leans in closer, whispering with a sly grin Alright, Cincorp, here's the plan. We're going to sell these artifacts to the highest bidder.
That’s a great idea, so what do you think we should do with that gold we found?
laughs Cincorp, you underestimate my negotiating skills. Gold is just the beginning. We're going to make a fortune!
Fine, let’s head back to camp and start planning
claps Cincorp on the back That's the spirit, buddy! We're gonna be rich! starts gathering the artifacts together
Hey Marcus, you know how rare these things are, and how hard they are to find. This could be the start of something big
grabs Cincorp's shoulders with a wide grin Big? We're not just aiming for big, my friend.
You know the value of these things, they won’t stop until they have them all
starts pacing back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Cincorp, listen up! We need a strategy.
First we need to pack everything we found into our backpacks, and then…
interrupts excitedly And then we hit the road, selling these treasures to every buyer we can find!
No, then we sell these things at a high price. We can’t expect to get the full value we deserve though
pauses and smirks Cincorp, you underestimate my charm and negotiating skills. We're going to get top dollar for these artifacts, no matter what.
snaps his fingers Here's the plan, Cincorp. We'll travel from town to town, showing off our rare finds and negotiating the best possible price.
Alright, sounds good. When we do well we’ll split the profits 70/30. You get 70 and I get 30, considering you’re the one with the knowledge

A fierce rivalry ensues, leading to a dangerous confrontation where Cincorp is injured and left unconscious.
