Garret goes in - Pulmer? Pickpockets sents me with request he says making his way to the noise.

You hear a loud hissing sound. The sound is like a fire being extinguished by water. Then, a disheveled, very rotund man with long sideburns and a goatee appears from behind the curtain. He's wearing what looks like silk pajamas that had a burn hole in them as he approached, but disappears with a flick of his hand as he arrives in front of you.

The raven settles down, and another flick of his hand has the door returning to its normal position within the door frame.

"Yes, yes. Uhh, what can I do for you?"

You explain what you need, and offer him the coin. He nods, and examines your offerings.

Garret gets a card on string from the wizard and writes the names of each potion and ties it to them, he also marks the corks with CM, BW, LR, HU, Lv, Bk.

After checking out with his boss he goes to find Arabella

[post out of time]

Garret finds Arbella and tells her what potions he has. They decide who will carry which potions.

Garret leads them in, them that comes anyway and says to the owner.

‘Allo, Sir, Mr. Pickpockets, I got some customers looking for general gear 

And he showed them whatever they need, knowing what the store has.

Arbella checks the list with Garret:

2 50' silk ropes
2 grappling hooks
2 bedrolls
24 days' rations

What else?

She also asks him what kinds of potions he has.

Oi? I said, well sure I mean of course I’d like to share make sure we all can help each one ...

Lessee we got this healing potion that’s a step better from your basic ones. (CMW), an oil that does Bless on a Weapon, a potion of Lesser Restoration, a potion that Hides you from Undead, a potion of Levitate, and a potion what gives you Barkskin.

Arbella says Good. We'll figure out who should carry what when we go back to the inn. If there's nothing else for us to buy....

They buy what's on the list and return to the Inn.

After greetings are made, you get right down to business. First he says he charges 10 gp per item, and asks you dubiously if your wanting every single item (coins are individual or per coin) checked?

Bemused, John shakes his head. "Weapons and armors, except I know the chain is enchanted already. Also, the brooch and emblem, the ring and the brooch. Skull too. 70 gold as far as I know."

John pays 70 gold.

Pulmer takes the money and gets to work casting spells. When all is said and done, you learn that the shield is +1, the sword is a frost brand bastard sword, the brooch is of shielding, and that the ring is a ring of Wizardry.

1)And the chain shirt IS +1?
2)How much has been absorbed by the brooch?
3)What type of Ring of Wizardry? I,II,III or IV?

In reply to John D'oh (msg # 20):

1)And the chain shirt IS +1? YES
2)How much has been absorbed by the brooch? None yet. It hasn't been used.
3)What type of Ring of Wizardry? I,II,III or IV? Lol, it didn't say, so I will assume they meant Level 1.

In reply to John D'oh (msg # 21):

Apothecary - (Vendor Hayden) in the South Wing.

Archer's in the West Wing.

Blacksmith Joe's in the West Wing.

William “Jelly” Caulder - Farrier (Horseshoe Maker) in the West Wing.

Butcher, Baker, No Candlestick Maker in the North Wing.

Pickpockets General Goods in the North Wing.

The list go on, but those are the main ones besides interested individuals. The price starts at RAW prices, and can be dickered on.

John asks Pulmer whether he'd like to buy the Ring of Wizardry. He also inquires if perhaps a deal might be made, exchanging the market rate for such a ring for enchantment services?

I.e., if a Ring of Wizardry I sells for 20,000 gold, exchange it for getting his plate armor enchanted to +3 (9000 gp), his Light Shield +1 becoming Animated (+1 to +3 enchantment = +8000 gp) and 2 augment crystals tossed in (Restful, 500 gp, and Lesser Truedeath, 2500 gp, respectively).

If I remember correctly, the value of magic items doesn't represent the resale value of magic items. I believe the resale of magic items is 1/2 that of the listed RAW price in the books. Of course, this can be adjusted by the DM where the DM needs to keep game balance but I don't do that. The ring could sell for 10,000 gp if you can find a buyer.

Then, you'll have to see if you can find the enchanted items you're wanting. I roll a particular % based on the type of item you're trying to find. You might find one, and then again you might not.

Of course you can try to see if it can be crafted. The time to craft it comes into play. In the Netherworld Plane, there will always be someone who can craft an item.

Pulmer is interested in buying the ring if the price is right. He's hesitant because he's unsure how fast he can resell it.

Last, you can always try to sell it to other player's. I allow this.

Magic Item enchantment is limited to 1000 gp per day. If two different people are handling the armor and shield, that's 9 days maximum. I think that time moves differently in the Inn than it does in the outside world, correct me if I'm wrong. As for the ring, if I sell it for 10,000, then I can still afford the 8000 for the Animated Shield enchantment. And for Pulmer, investing 10,000 gold to one day resell for 20,000 gold is a pretty good return on the investment.
I thought Pulmer WAS an enchanter, which is why I suggested a barter of enchantment services in exchange for the ring. Thus he isn't out 10000 gold.

He is. I was just letting you know about the resale of magic items being at 1/2 the book value. You can sell everything to him, and have everything made that you want at the other vendors. No problem there. I was just making sure you'd also have enough money to do that. :)

So, 9 days to enchant everything brings us to Day 15 - Morning (0900 Hours).

Please update your character sheet so I can make a copy, and update your stats on my battle planner. Thanks.

So has he agreed to exchange in services, or is he buying the ring outright for 10k? It makes a difference in what I can upgrade.

Whatever works best for you.

Exchange in services is preferred. It gives me time to sell off the rest of the loot and buy other goods. And 9 days isn't too long for the others to wait. I will post the other threads on what I'm selling and buying.

Just found out I was wrong. Lesser Truedeath crystal is 5000 gp,not 2500 gp. So I am taking the Least version, worth 1000 gp, and to make up the 1500 gp balance I'd take 2 Healing Belts (2×750 gp = 1500 gp). This way I get one and my cohort gets one. My excess equipment: Chain Shirt +1, Longsword +1, spiked Darkwood Heavy Shield, I am thinking is a good package for a cohort or wingman. Perhaps Tom from the Fort?
