That gives Aldous the 10 points he was saving toward to increase ST to 12  -- which gains a hit point and increases Swing damage by 1.

Nice!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 525):

Awesome. Will use maybe some gilt shape, so there is the ornate benefit as well, but perhaps something more robust for the light spell then. Perhaps an orichulum piece?

What about delivery times?

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 528):

a shield your size that is mirrored can be got easily, roll to see if an orichalcum bolt can be found- $30 9 or less

In reply to Narrator (msg # 529):

Nice, rolled a 7. I will include in in the ornate value.

The skills I can pick up at the local library with a little study?

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 530):

diagnosis you need to spend time with a physicker, poison, you need to find a poisoner because those books are restricted... also only members of the Sage's guild can get access to books.  The physician might just know about poisons, but would have to trust you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 531):

Physicians work with clerics here, or separately? Also, any members of the Adventurers guild deal with poisons?

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 532):

Clarence is also looking at a clothing upgrade.

He has
Leather Jerkin        DR 2*  $120 14.4 lb  (Torso, Upper arms and Shoulders)
Padded Sleeves        DR 1*  $20  2.4 lbs  (Elbows, Lower Sleeves)

He would like a
Fine Heavy Leather Jerkin DR 2  13.95 lbs  (Torso, Arms) worth $2330,

but he has only $2150,
a Lantern worth $20
a Heavy Cloak (Leather) DR 1vc $90 3 lbs, DB 2
a Large Knife, $40  1 lbs

Can he find anyone willing to do the trade?

Clarence selling on his own, with his personal reaction penalties is only getting 30% of list on those used items.  He doesn't have a relationship with Benito, Anita does.  Were she in this world and not lost in Faerie,
 he could have a word for her and probably for a 10% cut get Benito to sell them at list price.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 534):

Yes, tracking that. Not looking to use other players advantages. But can he get that with barter?

the exchange rate based on wealth/appearance/ criminal background is only 30% of list on those items, which you can get... but it is possible to get non-fine armor that costs quite a bit less

In reply to Narrator (msg # 536):

And weighs more, which is the whole point of the expenditure. So that is a no, I can't find anyone to do it?

the total value of your offered goods is $87, which leaves you $93 in the hole -see if one of the others will loan you the difference, or do the trade for you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 538):

Anyone else assist?

From which advnture thread?

In reply to Hannatti (msg # 540):

By the lions mane...

Sorry, not involved in that story

Clarence, if you ask, I might be able to lend you some coin.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 543):

Clarence will ask once he realises he will be short. Help selling his items may be just as useful...

I'm no less ragged than you are.  I've got a bit of money from the last couple jobs, but I can't pass for upper class.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 545):

We got over $2.000 each with the silver, almost enough to but a cornucopia quiver...

you would sell at 40% rather than 30% which would bring the shortfall closer.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 543):

Hmmm, add in the small shield, looking at selling

He has $2150, jacket worth $2330, so $180 shortfall.

Large Knife                           $40
Lantern                               $20
Small Shield (Buckler), Heavy DB 1,   $35, 6.5 lbs
Heavy Cloak (Leather) DR 1vc          $90 3 lbs, DB 2
Leather Jerkin        DR 2*          $120 14.4 lb  (Torso, Upper arms and Shoulders)
Padded Sleeves        DR 1*           $20  2.4 lbs  (Elbows, Lower Sleeves)


Total value: $325 x 30% = $97.5, $325 x 40% = $130, still $50 short. Can anyone in our group sell for more that 40%?

Our share each was $1998. I believe the cornucopia quiver is worth $2010.

Cornucopia items inflated tremendously when DFRPG killed Quick & Dirty enchantment.  The cost of the enchantment alone was multipled by 25, plus cost of any materials.  It's game balance, of course, along with removing player character enchantment; characters have to keep adventuring to get money to spend on this stuff.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 549):

Yes, I am tracking that. Does Mario have one?
