A while ago another stalker and I went looking for an artifact right next to the scorcher. We found so much stuff, even found a couple of artifacts that I'd never seen before, not even pictures of them. So that son of a bitch tricked me. During the last night he snuck off and hid the most valuable artifacts. And then he tried to tell me that they disappeared on their own. A couple of days ago I saw one of those very rare artifacts at the barkeep's. I was so pissed... Anyway, stalker, if you could find him, send him a lead greeting from me. And while you're at it, maybe you can find out where his secret stash is and get the second artifact. It's worth it, believe me.
