We can obviously see the crown & # on her shoulder, probably safe to assume she's sporting some ink on her chest and derriere. That said, I am eager to see who ends up buying her, and the consequences thereof.

I think it's safe to assume she sporting some ink in every sensitive place in her body.

I'm hoping they opted against doing anything too extensive, despite the diagram.

This is my hope too. The diagram looked like an exercise in cruelty, which i assume was the purpose, but would it help the product sell, which is the purpose?
Now to see if they'd rather torture her, or have her eaten.

I'm amazed that she is still copping an an attitude.
I wasn't expecting her to be broken by the tattooing, but her detachment from her predicament is bordering on the pathological.... :dizzy:

It does not seem like she has that collar-bone crown of the diagram so they seem to have gone a more classy route (I hope): Crowns on the upper shoulder would probably be befitting a queen (the slave-number not so)

I wanted to write "and she is allowed to wear clothes" but it seems the auctioneer removed one from the poor girl sold for 40 Gold in the first panel....

This gonna be interesting: the new queen seems to prepare a major expansion "pool our resources", "expand outward... we need those resources"... now the Orcs and the Drow have competent leaders and either the new Queen goes into retard mode "well, that went well now I can lay back" or she uses what she has. She made concessions on the basis of "we gonna get something out of this".

What IS 40 Gold anyway in this universe? Do we have prices for other items? Is there a hamburger-Index? What is a loaf of bread?

I never thought about it, but that is an excellent question.

Given that there are only some 2000 slaves it seems and sales would have to pay for all the infrastructure (even if you recycle the numbers of those used for food), I would guess that 40 gold is a lot of money in the undermountain, but not beyond the reach of the bottom of the upper-class. Maybe $1000 per gold (= about the price of a luxury car)?

I thinking it would be more akin to about $500 per gold, just based on this alone.

Remember that Gren and Bob could afford a slave in the first comics, so it can't be worth that much.

Bob would have the advantage of being able to take whatever anything he ate had.

Yes, but was it a drow slave with a number? I don't recall. None the less, as timemonkey noted, given that beholders are quite powerful I suspect that his family would have accumulated enough to qualify as "upper class" in the undermountain.

A plot device, cleverly masquerading as a round number.
