[e20 PF] And with strange aeons...

"It is the time that would take that concerns me, most of the items lost would likely take weeks if not months to restore. We do not speak of trifling baubles. Unless you possess some magical means to restore items I am unaware of?" Thadeius says managing to indicate that he finds this unlikely with his tone and the quirk of an eyebrow.

The mage removes his portable hole and places it on the ground, before shifting on more into a golden dragon and using his great tail to scoop adamantine daggers by the hundreds into the extradimensional space.

"Absalom seems our clear point of call to me, obviously we ought to offer up the daggers to as many different merchants as possible, primarily offering them as payment in the smallest lots we can manage. We ought also to exchange as much as possible for diamonds. Given the current threat I suggest we act swiftly to improve our defenses." The dragon says offisciously as it works.

[sblock=Aldon Foxglove's math] What kind of ton are you using? metric, imperial or standard? i am use to the simple standard 2000 lb per ton [/sblock]

Xanfire, who has been quiet for some time now (I BLAME YOU INTERNET) finally speaks.

"I agree, Absalom will be an excellent place to go. We will find refuge at the temple of Iomedae there. I also wish to pray to Iomedae, and ask for help to get the best of our gear running again."

Looking around at the group Xanfire askes "Which of you gear would you need most? I may be able to get some of the more destroyed items" looking at the mithril shield that he knows surly most not work " at least some protection again."

[sblock=Ton]There are three kinds of ton, which are officially described as a long ton, a short ton, and a ton - according to wikipedia, and wiki answers. I used the ton which is the metric measure, 1000kg and is also the closest to the median. A short ton is 2000lbs a long ton is 2240lbs.[/sblock]

[sblock=ton] i think the short ton is what we shoould have in use, IMHO [/sblock]

"Before we go anywhere...I think Malacandrus owes us a bit more explaining," Thorn says, eying the drow warily.

"That thing came for you. It knew you. Where did it come from, exactly? And how did it find you? You always went mind blanked back in the day. That should block just about anything."

[sblock=Ton] Huh. Why the short Ton? As a Canadian I end up using both on my scale at home: lbs and kg. The two weights are about the same. As a player myself, I'd go for the larger weight, down to the gram. I'm hoping that means Short Ton?

Also: So you know, you're not getting the sell price. You must find a party interested and able to buy that much Adamantine. I cannot overstate that most of the world are peasants literally scraping subsistence out of the dirt. Most people outside a city would prefer to trade in turnips than gold. City folk love gold. Militaries love it, but they only have so much and need it for more than just adamantine.

Wizards and others who enchant things make more money through small items, like tokens of featherfall, than they ever would on big ticket items, I might add. You can get it done, but it's more as a favour for deeds done than just for gold.

15k gold is the upper limit for most people for a number of reasons. One is that the weight of gold is so much you'd have to have a wagon to carry it all. Maybe Gerhard can lift the gold it costs to enchant one weapon. Maybe.

[sblock=Yes But] Absalom has a GP limit of 250,000gp, and assets of 3,798,750,000gp - according to the Guide to Absalom. So there are likely to be hundreds of merchants, etc. A pricey item is more difficult to shift ergo its better to have numerous less pricey items - such as say adamantine daggers instead of +5 Shields, etc. If we begin being unable to sell, etc., we'll simply teleport somewhere else, etc. So while I am sure there will be a reduction in price it should be mitigatible to a degree.[/sblock]

"Before we go anywhere...I think Malacandrus owes us a bit more explaining," Thorn says, eying the drow warily.

"That thing came for you. It knew you. Where did it come from, exactly? And how did it find you? You always went mind blanked back in the day. That should block just about anything."

"First, it's Malacarus, not Malacandrus.. I don't know from where it came, the outer darkness maybe, perhaps the prophet summoned it. I have no idea where it found me, perhaps I overslept for a few minutes. Third, we should go. Now.", says the irritated drow, lifting his staff and preparing to teleport.

ooc: not teleporting yet, just preparing to leave.

"If its allright, I would like a few of these." Gerhard gathers up eight of the daggers. "The material could be made into a fine sword. Perhaps I could forge one to help fight this prophets minions, once we find out more about them."

Saving his questions for later, Gerhard joins Malacarus as he gets ready to teleport.
