I think the math will be a bit more complicated. We should factor in the price of items being claimed as well (4200 gp for the sword, minus the 1200 for your tradein which I'll pay for, for example.)
Fair enough. Though I'm not sure how you find the price of selling an item; the +2 greatsword was listed as 8000gp before (8350 really since that cost would include a masterwork greatsword base item), but then you list it as 4200 selling. So I'll just assume it's 50% the cost then for selling.
[sblock=Prices when selling loot]Total loot:
A large decorative wooden holy symbol that once adorned a cathedral of the shield maiden worth 200 gp (50 lbs.)
A strange circular painting damaged by the sand, but potentially valuable if restored worth 350 gp (30 lbs. with frame, 1 lb. rolled up)
A ornate religious tapestry worth 150 gp (10 lbs.)
A decorative darkwood staff with a permanent flame on each end worth 400 gp (6 lbs.)
A mysterious decorative floor-rug made from various materials worth 450 gp (30 lbs.)
4 yellow Topazes (1200 gp)
+2 Greatsword (4175gp)
Cloak of Elvenkind (1250gp)
Boots of Elvenkind (1250gp)
3,000 silver+3,000 silver (600gp)
650 gold+650 gold (1300gp)
85 platinum+85 platinum (1700gp)
Wand of Melf's Acid Arrow (40 charges): (1800gp)
Third Eye (Concentrate): 5,000
Arcane Scroll (bestow curse, shadow conjuration, animate dead) (350+350+525=1225)
Figurine of wondrous power, obsidian steed (14250gp)[/sblock]
Total value of loot: 21,050gp
Total / 4 = 5262.5gp
That doesn't include the figurine. I'm not sure if we're keeping it or selling it, but I'd guess we'll keep it and all use it equally.
So Slisik would take the +2 greatsword for 4175gp, leaving 1087.5gp of his share left. He takes that as: 2 scrolls (bestow curse and shadow conjuration), and 3875sp. That accounts for his share.
He then spends 212.5gp on the dragonhide armor (including trade-in), using 2125sp. When all is said and done, Slisik has 1750sp, 2 scrolls (which he pretty much intends to sell), a +2 greatsword, and Dragonhide Banded Mail. He loses his +1 Studded Leather Armor, and his old +1 greatsword if Errol wants it (Slisik will charge only 1/4 price for it, so 587.5gp)
Final distribution
Slisik: +2 Greatsword, Scroll of Bestow Curse, Scroll of Shadow Conjuration, 3875sp.
Errol: Has 5262.5gp worth of loot to claim. If he intends to buy Slisik's +1 greatsword, it will cost 587.5gp.
Veris: Boots of Elvenkind, Cloak of Elvenkind, 4 topaz, Scroll of Animate Dead, 100pp, 37gp, 5sp.
Tesla: Eye of Concentration. She has 262.5gp of treasure left to claim in the dragon's hoard.
I hope that's fair. Please do let me know if anyone sees something wrong with these values, or if they just object to the entire idea.
