Ashin's Commission: The Great Escape!

[Xael]

Does Almayce have the ability to make this item, if Ironwolf can come up with the money?

Yes he does.

 

[Patlin]

If someone will take a stab at pricing the socks, I'll post a proposed treasure division. Then I'll be able to tell if I can afford Almayce's services. (Though if not the +4 periapt, at least a +2 version!)

 

[B4cchus]

Well, moving onward semi randomly here is some guesswork...

I converted to sell values as I think that will be more usefull when dividing up the gold and trying to balance it all out. Let me know if anyone wants an item in the "sell" list.

Ironwolf: Warrior's Determination (sell value ~15,037.5)
Zaeryl: Psychic Nexus of Power Preservation and Dorje of Energy Ray, 23 charges, sell value: 18,862.5
Eternity: Torc of Self Mastery -- seems on par with the nexus to me, wild guess sell value of 18,000 gp
Hulgyr: Belt of the Nyntarian Guard; Lucky Socks and +1 ghost touch greatsword (wild guess the Socks are worth 45k?) -- sell value 31,675 gp
Michael: Dwimmerstone -- Sell Value 18,000
Almayce: Sell Value 0 (wants cash only)

I think the guess of 45.000 gp is quite right concidering the abilites taht RA revealed.
(i'll go check the mic in order to try and get a moer accurate estimate)

Based on above caluculations and the fact that the cog. crystal will yield a maximum of 10.000gp I come to the following math for selling the rest and distrubuting the remaining gold

Items to Sell
Cognizance Crystal: 10.000
Bag of Holding Type III 7.400 gp /2 = 3.700
Wand of Cure Moderate (32 Charges) = 4.500 * 50/32 = 2.880 / 2= 1.440
wand of Fly (12 charges) = 11.250 * 50/12 = 2.700 / 2= 1.350
Wand of Poison (38 charges) = 21.000 * 50/38 = 15.960 / 2 = 7.980
Cloak of the Beguiler (sell value: 9k?) = 9.000 / 2 = 4.500
Assumign blessed is the same as holy:
+1 Blessed Crossbow Bolts N/50 (number?) * 18.302.5
Total sell value = 28.970 + bolts
Total gold = 52,327.88 + 28.970 + bolts = 81.297,88 gp + bolts

I'm leaving the bolts out of the calculation from here on.
Total treasure value (assuming the socks are 45.000 gp) = 86.537,5 (items) + 81.297,88 (gold) = 167.835,38
That puts each of us with a share of 27.972,56.

If i look at the above values that puts Hulgyr in a jam: he actually owes the group after even distribution!
So he'll be forced to sell the belt and sword in order to pay for the socks and come out with some cash.


RA, could you correct the guessed sell values where needed?

 

[Rystil Arden]

Eternity can make items too. I had thought to offer it already, but she wont step on Almayce's toes.

Zaeryl would buy an item from Eternity preferentially if she can actually make the item, particularly if she beats his prices. However, it seems likely that Eternity won't be able to make most standard items, and at this point, he just wants some standard stuff like Cloak of Resistance, etc.

@Patlin--I would suspect that you would find the socks to be somewhere in the ballpark of 40-50k. It depends on how good you think Double or Nothing is compared to Ring of Evasion (I think Ring of Evasion is much much better).

 

[Rystil Arden]

Wow, you picked exactly in the middle of the range I expected you to pick. I'm a prophet! Speaking of profit, you should keep in mind that you can get 18k for the Cognizance Crystal if you are willing to sell it somewhere with a better market. If you pay for some kind of instantaneous transport to do this, I might even allow you to use Medibaria's sell price cap of 20k.

 

[Rystil Arden]

I think you made a mistake in those calculations, B4cchus--the crucial point is that only Almayce doesn't have a nearly-equally expensive item as well (which is fine, since Almayce has Craft Wondrous Item and can turn money into beautiful things). This is what allows Hulgyr to easily keep the Socks (consider, if everyone except Almayce already has something worth 30,000+, then you only need to worry about the extra 15000 from the remaining treasure for everyone except Almayce)

 

[Patlin]

Maybe I'll walk to Medibaria... either I con a DM into giving me a solo adventure or it'll be just as quick (in real time) as teleporting!

The full sale value of the crystal is 12,500 gp.
I believe 'blessed' is a +1 property and that there are 50 bolts.

By my calculations, the sell value of items we want to keep are as follows:

Ironwolf: 15,037.5
Zaeryl: 18,862.5
Eternity: 18,000 gp
Hulgyr: 31,675 gp
Michael:18,000
Almayce: Sell Value 0 (wants cash only)

Total: 101,575 gp

(Still calculating....)

Why does Zaeryl have more than 18,000? Whatever else you're thinking to give him there, he would likely rather have gold

You would like to walk to Medibaria you say? Sure, I have just the thing for you. And there's this lovely town you can stop at on the way. The name of the adventure is Out Like a Candle: The Fiery Death of Ironwolf

 

[Patlin]

Total share each: 30895.48

Ironwolf: 15,037.5 and 15857.98 gp cash
Zaeryl: 18,862.5 items and 12032.98 gp cash
Eternity: 18,000 gp and 12895.48 gp
Hulgyr: 31,675 gp owes 779.52
Michael:18,000 gp items and 12895.48 gp
Almayce: 30,895.48 gp

That's enough cash to have Almayce build my item and to cover Hulgyr's 779.52 gp shortfall out of my share as a gift.

What say you all?

 

[Erekose13]

Zaeryl's extra is the dorje of energy ray.

Oh wait we forgot to sell the power stones too.

I don't think the torc is worth 36,000gp but everyone else is sticking to the values I set in the first place, so I'll gladly accept what you've proposed for it.

Other than that it sounds like a deal to me.
