Squidge in a packet?

I might be jumping the gun here, but that looks like squidge's hand sticking out of Quentyn's purse (Or at least some other bogeyman). I wonder when he got in there

Gotta love Quents expression when the hand came out

Maybe Colin decided to have some fun?

Or maybe the lure of Quentyn's silver was more than Squidge could withstand?
(Remember, he likes shiny objects)

Okay, I've heard of people going to the city and having money stolen from their purses, but never having their money stolen by their purse!

also, imagine what the clerks expression must be like!

I sense yet another few set of options just opened up for quentyn to get wildcard back.

Yup. Though it would have been fun if Squidge was in with the stuff that got stolen. It would have been an interesting surprise for anyone who opened the bag to a P.O.ed Bogeyman.

It's not Squidge. It's another monster, one that I have had attack me. It is called the IRS. It does the same thing. Takes money out of your wallet screaming "MINE".

Well Quentyn still owed him, never saw Squidge get paid.

Wasn't it a gold ring that he was promised?

I wonder does this mean that the currency of the land is in beads and rings?

Yes it is......the local currency seems to be copper, silver and gold beads and rings.

What I'd like to know is the denominations....how many beads = 1 ring, How many copper beads to 1 copper ring, 1 silver ring, or 1 gold ring?

How many copper rings = 1 silver or gold ring? How many silver rings = 1 gold ring?

This is what I'd like to know.

I just went back and looked that whole scene over.....the gold ring was full payment just to show Quentyn where the wights came from.

The answer is much simpler than that guys. Squidge likes the shiny silver, and stuck in Quentyn's bag to satisfy his "shine lust."

$2.00 he calls the ring his "precious."

A more important question (to the reader, at least) is "What can Squidge do to help Quentyn this time?"

Richter B. · Post by **Richter B.** » Mon May 30, 2005 9:17 pm

little dude might have a better understanding of the local underground?
wonder when the brownies will show up?
them little ones and squidge could make some major havock
on the local crime rings.... leading gaurds, taking loot back,
nawwing on heels.....

My guess is that it's an octal system. 8 beads to a ring (four digits per hand). Copper to silver to gold ratios are a bit trickier to be sure of - it's far more likely to depend on the relative scarcity of the metals. Might be 1 copper ring to a silver bead, or it might be 8. Ditto silver to gold. I'd guess the former, though; figure the copper bead equates to a penny, so if Quentyn was going to give Squidge a gold ring it wouldn't likely be worth $2600. $5.12 is much more reasonable. (8 beads = 1 copper ring = 1 silver bead. 8 silver beads = 1 silver ring = 1 gold bead = 64 copper beads. And then 1 gold ring = 512 copper beads.)

Don't think so.

RHjunior has said that they're using a decimal system, so going octal in the currency would just cause confusion.

When quentyn bought all that junk off of max, his father said that he'd been cheated out of "every last ingot" he owned

question is, is this simply a turn of phrase? Or are ingots part of their currency system? (like $100 notes?)
