The skeleton now in your stall at the Bone Market might intrigue her. And you have yet to find the perfect buyer.

Game Instructions: If you succeed, she will purchase the skeleton for her own collection, and reward you with a unique new type of skeleton base. If your skeleton benefited from a Zoological Mania, this will lower the required value for this.

Unlocked with Skeleton in Progress 100, Familiarity with the Carpenter's Granddaughter, Approximate Value of Your Skeleton in Pennies (30000 - Zoological Mania Bonus)


Wiki note: Check this page for a skeleton build that can reach the requirements for this option.


Challenge information

Broad, Shadowy 300

  • 205 - very chancy (41%)
  • 255 - chancy (51%)
  • 305 - modest (61%)
  • 355 - very modest (71%)
  • 405 - low-risk (81%)
  • 455 - straightforward (91%)
  • 500 - straightforward (100%)

The challenge info shown is at level 3 of Skeleton: Self-Evident Implausibility. The base difficulty is (100 x Implausibility), meaning that having none of that quality guarantees a sale. It's probably a good idea to consider lowering the Implausibility prior to a sale.

MenaceFirst paragraph
0She enters the stall with obvious care not to damage anything.
3She approaches the skeleton with no sign of discomfort, merely taking care that her skirt doesn't get caught on anything spiky.
7She pauses […]"It's rare to see a reconstruction posed in such a lifelike manner." She adds several […] reflections on the relationship between science education and showmanship. Soon she has collected herself enough to examine […] without obvious discomfort.
AmalgamySecond paragraph
0 – 1"Fascinating," she says, inspecting the whole thing. "Not a trace of the distortions one often finds in Neath skeletons."
2 – 4The Carpenter's Granddaughter is especially interested in the evidence of amalgamy, the places the bones are twisted out and knobbed. "You never see this on the Surface," she says. "As if the skeleton had been turned to taffy, and pulled."

Failure

Would she honour you by acquiring your (Skeleton Type)?

She decidedly would not.

"I am not impressed with charlatans […] Those of us engaged in this work have enough to do to educate the public; we do not deserve to have our efforts undermined by shameless opportunists." […]
