"I bought it from one of them funny hats and you know what he told me? "Neither sword nor arrow shall touch ye, Marcus!" That's what he told me, word for word. I figured a mighty artifact like that is worth at least five hundred coins. What do you say, stranger? You figure your life is worth five hundred coins?"
