Re: Returned from the Abbey

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 57):

Choose how you pay out the torchbearer, then divide the remaining cash by 7. The most he would get is a quarter share; if so divide by 7.25.
The value of the items can be subtracted from each share.

The books get to be used, then sold; divide the total value of books by seven, and let folks take the books as a share, to resell later.

The ressurrection scroll is a whole other matter; it needs 300 FP to activate,  so it needs a dedicated circle to use it.

What Resurrection Scroll?  No such scroll was listed (I'm guessing it's in the book Finality of the Flesh).

Regardless, it should cost 20$ per point, so 600$, and resell* for $240.  I'll add it to my spreadsheet.



* Barring any intervention like Merchant rolls, someone buying up Wealth, some other rolls to find specific better buyers, or some such.

Re: Returned from the Abbey

Narrator:
The fine, pussiant 2 handed mace has the sale price of 40% of its worth; the base cost iirc was $80 +cF 4 for a total of $400 pre enchantment.

Fine is a +2 CF for crushing melee weapons.  So I take it I should adjust it down on my spreadsheet.


Did you mean that Long Knives are priced at $200 in this game not the $120 from DFRPP and Low Tech?

Songs on high is a primer of triunist hymns, worth 80% to triunists, and 40% of that to anyone else
...
The ways of True worship is a thesis on triunist religious ritual good for 4 points. These items, as all triunist items, are worth 80% to triunists, 40% to anyone else.

I don't know that I'd do that... unless there is a cost inherent cost in to trying to find a Triunist buyer (like it takes time + money spent + requires a roll which can be blown; Propaganda is the usual DF roll for "advertising for a buyer"), as this is ostensibly DF.

Training allowances:  Primer, 1 point; Textbook, 2 points, Adv. Text, 4 points; Spellbooks allow 1 point per spell only in spells named.

* - Standard DFRPG Pricing.  Anything not marked as such is taken straight from gwythaint's prices, some because I couldn't be arsed to track it down (the prices of books as per DF 4 Sages) and some because I couldn't be arsed to try to figure out where the price might have come from (Amulet of Evil Resistance +3).

[1] - All book prices presume not bothering to find specific buyers (since there are four books (possibly five) that could have added value and I didn't feel like getting into a prolonged back and forth).


For the record, this split leaves $6.40 on the table for adding to Walter's pay (ain't we fucking generous ;) ).

Stenet will argue that Walter get paid his agreed upon rate and no more (Greedy Disad).


[EDIT]
I've already found (and fixed) two errors in editing the prices, and my brain and eyes are stupidly tired, so give this a critical eye.  But, that said, I think all the prices are as correct as possible.

Fixed price of Resurrection Scroll.

Re: Returned from the Abbey

Thank you. Some of my accounti g errors are ovrr a year old, the book pricing was from treasure tables, as were a number of others.
Tge amulet of demon resistance is new, I reverse engineered the price of a 5 point advantage with comparable values of other items in DFRPG Magic Items.

Understood.  I've yet to run a pbp... I can't even imagine trying to keep things like that straight from some many years ago.

quote:

Ah.  I wasn't even going to try to reverse engineer the price.  It was less than an Amulet of WillPower +3 ($15K) so I figured it was kosher.  Heck, even if it was more than an Amulet of Will +3, if it could stack with a [Item] of Will +3 it'd be worth it.


[EDIT]
Posted using wrong character.  Sigh, and I even have it set so I have to deliberately chose the character every time I post to avoid this this.

That's with everything (including books) being sold.

If you're choosing not to sell something (ie keeping it yourself), remove its cost your share.  If a group is going in on a library, pool the cost of the books, split that, and then remove that from your share (and each person going in on a library).

That is why I had the books as a separate listing. It works to tr3at 5hem as part of a share so you can save or sell.


Wghat of the scrolls? The ressurrection scroll is worth $10k,  (4k sold) and could be traded for an advantage with the triunists. The hadereum would pay for its destruction,

Re: Returned from the Abbey

In reply to Narrator (msg # 66):

Exactly. Though because we have only accounted for 40% of the items value, that is the value to remove from your share. I would suggest selling the resurrection scroll to the triunists...unless someone wants it as a significant part of their share!

I mentioned which of the other scrolls I wanted to keep. We also need to sort out the Library...

Except if we do that Stenet's share drops below what is needed to repair and claim the armor...

So Stenet will have to decline to... hang on, I just noticed something.

Where is that price coming from?  I won't argue if you want to give that to us... but it's not a price as set by the books...

Okay.  Hang on, I can back engineer this.  I forgot DFRPG sets Resurrection as a service at $15k,  so as a service it's charging $50 per point, where normal spells charge $5/point.  So an uncharged scroll should... /squints... well... $6k is close enough, so I accept the $10K and have adjusted the above chart with our slightly increased shares.

If y'all would like to finalize a list of books to keep, I can figure out the share cost.

I didn't see any mention of scrolls in your previous posts, but that really doesn't change shares.

How much would repairing the armor cost?  The difference between the damaged value and a full value (which is $250)?

The armor is human sized, refitting it for a dwarf would cost 20% of its current value, with the need of buying a a helmet at normal rates. if it was your size, cost of living would cover repairs.

There are dents made when Jednessa slammed the cleric in the armor, and, then ripped off 5he head. The cost of resizing will repair as well, just the helmet needs replacing.

Stenet already has a helm, although it's Light Plate... I'll double check the math and how much his share would be after a library is accounted for.

Re: Returned from the Abbey

Christine Bjorn:
In reply to Narrator (msg # 27):

Christine would want to keep the following:

The Guild book of secrets of the Second order: spells
---detect madic, seek magic, dispel magic, magelock, light, continual light, magelight, continual magelight, magesight, identify spell, analyze magic, seek air, seek earth, seek water, ignite fire, spellshield, scryguard, pentagram.

An Herbary- herbary up to 2 points

Unnamed occult textbook -occultism, up to 2 points

Demonskin book- Hidden lore, demonology up to 4 points, +1 quality,
----Sense Spirit, summon spirit, materialize, solidify, Summon Demon and
  Pentagram spells

She would want to study and then sell:

Unseen but not Unheard-hidden lore:spirits 1 point

Black book-Hidden Lore, Demonology 1 point

A Booke of the Finality of Flesh- Thanatology 1 point


Reminder, but there has been a lot of discussion since this was posted. All of these are fine options for the library.

There was mention of Spider silk armour, +99 CF, applied to cloth Armour, cost $30, 6 lbs from Basics costing more. Is it possible to get the basic set of this that just covers Torso and groin for $3,000?

Also, can she get a Balanced Silver-coated Orichalcum Jo...
        2 lbs, $400, with Staff enchantment, holds up to 4 points as powerstone.

Yeah, which is why I'm double checking.  Did the assembled just want to save a few books aside or most of them, and whom all is in?

Re: Returned from the Abbey

Razael:

So we're waiting on Dareos.

For the record, Stenet might go in on this if there's some sort of long term value to doing so.  He'd also argue for keeping at least one Triunist manual (probably the slimmest one).



Narrator:

Stenet sees no value in the supposed 'blessings' of foreign gods.


18:23, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 13 using 3d6.  Trading Rez Scroll for non-fungible services.  Greed 12.


Also, note GM, in GURPS Magic a 3 point Blessing is more valuable than a Resurrection.  So if you actually mean 3 point Bless...  I think Stenet will reconsider, since a Resurrection is $15k (at that valuation rate a single 3 point Bless should be $25k, even a 2 point Blessing should be pretty up there - base $5 an FP is $250 per 2 point Blessing, and that's at the 'non-inflated' rate).  Unless Bless works differently in your campaign?

OK, Stenet needs to pick one which we'll deduct from is take like we do all the others, then we'll take the rest to Father Robard.
I'll take them ... who else is interested in going?

Stenet Isn't a Triunist? I thought he was.
