Part 4: Return to Hommlet

I believe Bors is broke and unable to pay for the ale ordered, is he not?

When I first made the character he was broke since I thought he'd be starting in the dungeon. So I sold the shield so I would have some money.

1. Okay, well I haven't heard Aldrusian chime in on the matter with the dagger, and it's been on the table for a while, so unless we hear from him or anyone else has an argument to support selling the dagger, it's in Eltrezar's possession and I'm putting it on his spreadsheet.

2. As far as selling your loot went, I made a charisma roll for each PC and all of them passed except for one character, so you actually earned about 64% of the selling value for all of your items, which is actually pretty decent.
Total earnings were 895.45GP. That includes everything but the bolts of fabric and the dagger. Divide that by five PCs (assuming you're splitting the loot equally) and you get 179.09 each. However, Eltrezar said he would pay each person for their cut of the cloth value (24GP each) so everyone but Eltrezar earned 203.09GP. Eltrezar then walks away with 83.09GP.

3. Also, just let me know what potions and scrolls if any you wish to have Jaroo Ashstaff make, and whether you're willing to wait for him to finish preparing them.

4. Also, let me know if there's any other purchases you want to make or errands you need to run, and we'll sort that out and probably wont have to roleplay it out.

5. Also, I will definitely hit you for encumbrance if you're hauling all these coins around, so you better find a means of stashing your loot.

Here's the spreadsheet including all your Encumbering gear and loot.

Eltrezar will take the jeweled dagger, and store 150gp (or all but 50gp, depending on if the spreadsheet is accurate with the bolts of cloth in mind) at the inn. He will donate 25gp to Jaroo in the morning and ask for potions of healing and slow-poison.

That's a great question. Normally, in B/X RAW, all inventory left by a dead PC disappears unless the PC gave it to another 1st Level PC as an "Inheritance". Here's the rules on it:


So if you wish, you can give Alice's stuff to Mal via "Inheritance", but you can only do this once. Let me know if you wish for this, and explain how Mal wound up "Inheriting" Alice's goods.

This is a very sizable donation, and Jaroo recognizes as much. A donation of this size will give Eltrazar 8 weeks' worth of potions and scrolls assistance. For this week (Week 1) Jaroo can only prepare 1 scroll or potion, but it will only take 1 day to prepare. Please pick one spell from the spell list that you want made for you.
