Blood Coin

"Don't you know? In these parts, blood money is as good as gold." - The Instigator to Ornstein.

The blood coin is a currency provided by The Instigator to contracted individuals in exchange for fresh corpses.

Description
At first glance blood coins appear as regular gold pieces. Upon further examination however, the coins exhibit a subtle red tinge under certain lighting conditions. On one face, the coins are embossed with the profile of a human skull. Those in the possession of the coins often swear that the skull will be looking in the opposite direction to which they had remembered.

Blood coins are accepted as regular gold pieces by those ignorant to their unnatural origin. Upon examination by Tannis the Seer, it was explained that the coins may be "exchanged for metal."
