Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 7631857" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Nimbar disagrees...Nimbar snorts in disagreement, forcing Hawke to hand over 300 gold pieces from his haversack, before leaving the common room, and heading out into the street. Hawke smiles, as he calculates Nimbar's growing debt, and decides to join Sphynx in the tavern. ~I hope you know, I'm keeping track of all this borrowing. That's 474 gold you owe me! Alas, I think Sphynx has the right idea; who wants to sit around, chanting all day, when there's ale to be had?~Hawke chuckles, "Wait up, Sphynx. I'll join you."Whilest Hawke & Sphynx are enjoying some downtime, Nimbar is all business. He buys the three pearls, heads back to his room at the inn, and spends 8 hours resting, so that he can cast three Identify spells. He does so, and comes to the following conclusions:[gm]Results of Nimbar's Identify Spell:The six arrows turn out to be the real prize; they are moderately enchanted, and of exquisite craftsmanship, most likely Elvish in origin.Six +2 Arrows (Value: 160 gp. each., 960 gp. total)Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (2d8+2) (300 gp. value)Scroll: Cure Light Wounds (1d8+1), and Hold Person (3rd Level Caster) (175 gp. value)The arrows and the scroll are of little use to the party; there isn't a bowman among you, and neither of the three of you is a Cleric. These items can be sold for a total of 849 gp. (75% value + 2 gp. seller's premium) at the local shop. [The shopkeeper keeps a modest margin (25%) for profit-making. This is excellent, considering that many shop-keeps employ a margin of 50%.] The actual value of the two items is 1,135 gp.)Nimbar sells the two items, and distributes the profits accordingly:Split three ways, each share of 849 would be 283 gp. But since Nimbar already owes Hawke money, he will give his share to Hawke. That means that:Sphynx gets 283 gp.Hawke gets 566 gp.Nimbar's debt has decreased from 474 gp., down to 191 gp.[/gm]When it's all said and done, the party's expenditure proves worthwhile.Nimbar asks, "Who wants to carry the potion around? My instinct is to give it to Sphynx."</blockquote>
