War of the Collectors

War of the Collectors was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor came across a man discussing statues.
==Dialogue==
Eivor travelled to Lunden and arrived at Maximilian's house, where she found a note by the door.
:Business NoteYou have come to the domain of Maximilian of Londonium, they city's premiere collector of ancient treasures (despite what the deluded 'Octavian' claims.)I will return to my villa by the dusk of the morrow. All inquiries can be left in the post box.
Eivor left to wait for Maximilian to return. The next day, she revisited his museum and found him berating a woman.
*Maximilian: If I find one crack— That statue is as fragile as the rest of my collection and costs more than the hovel you call a home!
*Anglo-Saxon Woman: Just a clay man with his cock out, ya nutter.
Eivor approached Maximilian.
*Eivor: I have a friend who needs that little Roman man you have. Octavian of Lunden.
*Maximilian: I've a guess who your friend is, and no. Osbert cannot have his greasy pedestrian fingers on something so exquisite.
*Eivor: Osbert?
Maximilian chuckled in glee.
*Maximilian: O-ho, that is delicious. Yes, Osbert. A name fit for a poor failure. It'll cost a cow's weight in silver to get it in his hands.

|-|(5 Charisma) It's coming with me.=
|-|Take your money (130 silver)=
*Eivor: I'll give you the filthy silver.
*Maximilian: O-o, that is ... thank you. Well. I should hope so! You may take the legionnaire.
Maximilian led Eivor inside the museum, unlocking the door. Eivor retrieved the statuette.
*Eivor: Heh, I'll have to take this back to Osbert.
|-|I'll be back for it.=
*Eivor: I'm not leaving Lunden without that sculpture.
*Maximilian: Then you'll just have to return with more coin, Dane.
Maximilian turned away as Eivor thought to herself.
*Eivor: I need to keep Maximilian distracted and out of the way if I am to steal the statue.
Eivor left Maximilain, but returned later hoping he had forgotten their conversation.
*Maximilian: Crawling back for the legionnaire, I see.
Stymied, Eivor left Maximilian again and saw two girls standing at the street corner beside the museum.
*Norse Child: Odd jobs for coin! Odd jobs for coin!
Eivor walked up and spoke to the child.
*Eivor: I have an odd job, and can pay you coin. I can pay you even more coin to not ask questions
*Norse Child: You sound like my father. What do you need? If you try to chop me up to bits, I'll scream.
*Eivor: I just need you to keep a man busy while I take back something he stole from me.
*Norse Child: If you pay up front then, deal. But, we need a signal. For if he's coming, and for when you're all clear. I'll make this noise, caw-caw, if he's coming your way. And you make it when you've got the thing.
*Eivor: This noise? Ca-caw!
*Norse Child: Close enough.

==Outcome==
Eivor obtained the man's statue by buying it, convincing him to give it, or by stealing it.
==Trivia==
*War of the Collectors is only available after starting A Rivalry for the Ages.
