Dahlia grumbles, but hands over one of her last two silver for a room that night. Once safely inside, dry, and confident their crates of pigment are safe, she decides to check the contents. Assuming that there is indeed pigment within (and they hadn't just been fooled somehow), she turns to her companions and speaks.
"So I figure we ask around about the cost of booking a boat to Birevia, yeah? And to pay for it, maybe we take a small amount of this here pigment and put it in a separate bag. Then we go down to their market or whatever, say we ventured out there into the darkness, ran into the lynx, learned it is a boozehound, and then recovered this pigment, but we tell them that's all we got, so they don't try to rob us or nothing. We sell it, use the coin to pay for the boat, right? Fool proof."
OOC:
I know, off course, that it isn't fool proof!

Just for giggles I'll point out that you walked into the tavern with three heavy and mysterious crates and hauled them up to your room …

heheh yep, that had occurred to me! Despite having Erudite +2, I have been playing Dahlia as kind of a thug for some reason. It amuses me, I guess! Honestly, when I found her character image, I think that's what inspired me! She just seems like a lovable lowlife

"Right, bish bash bosh. I was wonderin though lads. What's all this for? I know a bit o' extra coin won't go amiss but, y'know. What's our five-year plan or whatever? I dunno just being in em mines got me thinkin. I don't know if I wanna be living the mercenary life forever. I got dreams and whatnot. I trust ye D, you aint led us astray yet. But what's the plan after all this curse stuff."

Myrven opens kicks off his boots while he chats, and pries open the crate to check its contents too.

"The plan? The plan is to get these crates to Birevia, sell them for a fat pot of gold, and then retire! At least for a while, until the money runs out. Eh, easy come, easy go, I say. But you, Myrven, you can drink as much wine as your stomach'll hold, I'll most likely blow mine on courtesans and gambling, and ... Hey Ingvar, what would you spend a hoard of gold on, anyway?"

just checking something
Nothing happens while you continue to discuss your potential wealth.

Myrven finds the crate is lined with canvas, and the candle-light in the room glimmers on pastel rainbow streaks of slightly glowing Martoi pigments. There's about thirty pounds of the stuff in that crate, and it's said to be worth its weight in gold. Indeed, you could retire well on the money from this haul — even if paid in silver.

But this … this is the kind of wealth that people would kill for.

When she sees the pigment, her mouth drops open and her eyes go wide. She whispers, "Do you know how much this is worth? Holy shit... are we safe here? We might not be safe here.... OK, um, lock the doors, bar the windows... we should take watch tonight.... Oh hells, how are we gonna make it all the way to Birevia with this? Ugh, I feel nauseous ..."
