"Well, I'm not sure exactly it works. All I know is I slept with someone once and asked to see my home and the Augur gifted me with a copy of my ancestral home. Only one task was marked off. Another time I slept with him again and the Augur gifted me with a new talent I didn't have before. It's a little hard to explain. I can't demonstrate it either. It's just gone. I suppose I'll have to work to get it back."

"Another time I gave someone a strip tease in a winehouse and the Augur gave me a really nice bed."
