[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 3581977, member: 478"] A few minutes later, the auctioneer pulls a small wooden stick out of his clothes and raises it high for everyone to see. It's quite unspectacular, really, unlike his accompanying words. [color=white][i]“Behold the power! With this mighty weapon, you will strike fear into the hearts of your enemies!
