some kid comes and helps you collect all your escaped chickens--give them an empty bottle

some kid saves your sister's life by bringing her a healing potion you made--let them keep the bottle the potion was in, that's an adequate reward

some kid helps you get back the fragments of your soul that you sold to a bunch of ghosts in exchange for immense riches? a bottle is a good reward for that, it's not like you're literally made of money or anything oh wait you are

i kind of wonder what technology was lost that we never rediscovered

not that i think they had some ancient supertechnology, more just, what tools did they have that accomplish tasks we do today in very different ways
-F

because *wow* the antikythera mechanism is complicated and it involves manufacturing technology that wouldn't be rediscovered for over a millennium
-F

you ever just think about how much technology must have been lost between the making of the antikythera mechanism and medieval times
