A Merchant's mind is a maze of 'no-win' scenarios. The 'Trojan Beast' is my favourite. They'll wheel out a massive, beautiful cage containing a slavering, rabid monster. Then they'll hand you the keys. Now you've got a problem. You can 'Slay the Beast,' wasting your best warrior's entire turn as they try to kill the thing through the bars while the rest of the Merchant's crew moves into position. Or, you can 'Release the Beast,' ignoring the cage... at which point the Merchant unlocks it, and now you've got a furious monster on the field that's fighting for them. It's not a gift; it's a second enemy in a pretty box.
