From his voluminous, sea-soaked robes, Akakios draws forth a small cask of wine and a wooden goblet. As he sets the goblet onto the the cask, it catches the light of his lantern and reflects as if it was gold. The wood seems to melt away like an illusion, revealing a gleaming, lavish goblet of jewels and precious metals. "Laughter and gaity are oft in short supply, in many parts of the world. Would you trade away your laughter for a magical goblet which protects you from poisoning?"
Akakios is looking to trade a faerie-tainted magical goblet for a mortal's laughter. Trading it away gives the poor mortal the inability to release his humor and delight in laughter and revelry. Everything seems a bit more calm and sober. This could be represented by the Personality traits Depressed or Temperate. Akakios values this trade at 9 vis.
Goblet of the Sober Prince: This is a large, gaudy goblet of gold and silver, inset with jewels. The liquids drank from it will never poison the drinker - and this will include, sadly, wine or beer, or other alcohols. Everything tastes just fine, but if it was poisoned, the drinker will feel like something is missing, slightly disappointed. Spilling the wine or liquid onto food will apply the effect to the food, as well.
