* GameBreaker: Subverted gloriously. Early in the series, the cast invited listeners to [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent submit ideas]] for magic items that the characters could buy between arcs at the Fantasy Costco. For each interlude, Griffin would choose those that were most interesting--''and well-balanced''--to stick a price tag on. However, he bent the "well-balanced" rule for one item: the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword of Doom]], which was designed by a listener's young son and is as ludicrously powerful as it sounds. It was given a price of 60,000 gold, assumed to be well out of the heroes' range for all eternity.\\
\\
In this episode, one of the new items stocked is the "Slicer of T'pire Weir Isles", which has no inherent use except that the bearer has a chance to convince a trader that it is a fair trade for their most valuable item. Apparently Griffin underestimated his players' cunning, because Taako purchases the slicer for a modest 900 gold and immediately trades it back for the sword.\\
\\
The subversion is that Taako (a wizard who has probably made one weapon attack in the adventure so far) keeps the sword for himself and plants it on his back as nothing more than a [[BraggingRightsReward status symbol]].
