In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 289):

Anita will immediately take the ring and run to her cousin, asking him to hold is as surety, and loan her in return the cash for the cart. Or to ask him if he has a cleaner cart he can use to transport the stuff. She will give him an approximate list of items, and let him know of the urgency.

[Private to GM: Happy to respond on his behalf, but does he know of any other transport? It would seem he would, but the timing? Is there a roll I should make for it?]

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 292):

at the moment this one is expensive only because he will be also quietly disposing of the bodies. simple cart rentalis closer to $60. body disposal is an illegal activity,  and therefore costs extra, especially since it will prevent the purple ones from using necromancy to ask who killed them. no body, no summon spirit.

I see. Perhaps we could hire both. I am thinking of resale value of stuff that stinks of...shit. Just hiring the guy to deal with the bodies sounds better.

Ok, so if Benito manages the cart and transport of the look, keeping it clean, for $60 above, and the bodies are disposed of for $120, it should work out for all of us, right? If so, can we make it happen...

to speed things along, yes. Benito fronts the cash for the body removal, plus a silver piece tip for silence, and holds the ring for security.


as you are loading cart#2 with armor, you hear someone approaching...

Anita is a little nervous about new arrivals just now. She assists with loading up her cousins cart with armour, but watches the new arrival uneasily.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 302):

"So, I can either sell the stuff and pay you all a share, and myself as well, or I give you the price you would get from another dealer and then sell the gear myself, pocketing all the profits. The first option probably gives you more cash, but will take some time, while the second option will be quicker, but will not get you as much cash. But I will have to take out the transport costs and the payment for the cleanup first, either way. What do you prefer?"

[OOC: What is the nominal value of the stuff? Benito has wealth (very wealthy) and rank 2 in the guild, so how much of that can he sell stuff for?]

Rosewood has no idea what any of the option mean let alone know which one is best.  Anyway Rosewood main concern would be are you in league with the leprechaun? Benito Drake.

occ: the leprechaun is another character of Anita's.  Benito is her ally and cousin.

within the guild he counts as filthy rich, .
base value of the corselets is $600, but they are cheaply made, and worth only $240. they are DR 3

In reply to Narrator (msg # 307):

Actually I have 2 leprechauns as other characters, but they do not necessarily have anything to do with Anita or Benito, unless I mess up the posting.

So, without Benito we would get 40% of that value. How much could Benito sell them for? 100%, but minus one share? We have Marcus, Anita, Leroy, Rosewood, Gordab

Narrator:
(msg # 183):

You find a number of coin purses, light steel curiasses and cheap knives. Along with sweaty cheap gambesons with their symbol stitched onto the arms and cheap caltrop studded hobnailed boots.
...
(msg #213):

 12 sets of cuirrasses,  and 12 helmets, along with a dozen cheap clubs


How much are the helmets worth? (Cheap Light Seg. Plat would be $60, DR2?) I guess we could use the cheap clubs as firewood, are they worth $4? Also the cheap knives $16 (and number thereoff)?

12 cheap clubs: $48
10 cheap large knives: $160
12 cheap corselets: $2,880
11 helmets, Cheap Light seg plate: $990

Total value: $4,078
Price if we sell ourselves: $1,631.2

Minus cost of Cart: $60
Minus cost to get rid of bodies: $120

Assuming we have Marcus, Anita, Leroy, Rosewood, Gordab (5 players)

This would be $649 each, with $4 left over, if we get Benito sell it on our behalf, though it may be a few days before we get paid.

Share if we sell ourselves: $290, with $1.2 left over.

Miss anything? Anita is happy to wait for her share.
