Heart of Artifice Temporary--Kharas Alone

[Velmont]

"So you want to buy me enough material to make 10 such ring for what? 1/100th of the value of the ring. That sounds a bit ridiculous. One of these pieces weight 0.1lb, so with 10 of them, you would enough material to make many ring, but the gold of the pieces is not that good quality. You'll need to refine it, that why I estimate it takes 10 of them to make one simple ring. Anyway you don't want pure gold for a ring, as pure gold is too soft." replies Kharas, containing himself in front of such roberry.

(OOC: Psst, in regular D&D, those golden ring art objects on the art object tables often cost over 1000 gold, at least from what I'm seeing (subtracting the cost of the mentioned gems). The jeweler is not trying to rip Kharas off--if anything my conversion is just wrong. The price in GP and thelii for golden items should be equal, and most other things cost more thelii)

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Kharas think he is trying. I made all my estimation with the price of one night at the Inn. So, very roughly, 1 thelii = 1 copper. The idea of having gold worth less here is not in Kharas mind. How gold could worth nothing? He won't pay 100 gold for a night, and he won't give his Thelanium. He want to be sure to have some to build his own construct with it and experiment with it.

If I wasn't an artificer, and I had a lot of Thelanium, I would quickly exchange it for gold to become rich But Kharas want more Thelanuim, as it will worth a lot in Sharn.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Okay. He won't even give 2% of it? I have an idea then)

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You're a weird one, you are. You won't even spend an ounce of thelanium? Why don't you have this alloy separated then, and you can sell the mithral in it?"

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Also, another thing, I have based my resonning on the Craft Skill rule, which tell raw item cost 1/3rd of the item's value. In the case of a gold ring, plain and simple, it would cost 333 gp to make a 1000 thelii ring, as 1 gold = 1 thelii, which seems big considering the value of a night... I hate this economy.

 

[Velmont]

"Mithral?" Kharas looks at the piece in his hand. "There is mithral in that alloy? Is there anything else? I didn't had teh time to analyze teh composition of that alloy."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I'd say that isn't that big considering the value of a night--if anything, that's a very reasonable price; in D&D, you can't craft a gold ring for the price of three nights at an inn, right? Anyways, the economy works better if you just hold onto your gold and buy with thelii)

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Mithral?" Kharas looks at the piece in his hand. "There is mithral in that alloy? Is there anything else? I didn't had teh time to analyze teh composition of that alloy."

(OOC: I'm pretty sure they knew there was mithral in the alloy from the very beginning in Helen's house)

"Just looks like mostly Mithral and Thelanium. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was 5% zinc or so to help against corrosion."

 

[Velmont]

Kharas hesitate. Mithral was a valuable material, but at least, it was not impossible to find some. "Fine, that could be a possibility. And how much teh mithral in that piece would worth?"

(OOC: I'm pretty sure they knew there was mithral in the alloy from the very beginning in Helen's house)

OOC: the only reference I saw was about it was unkown material... we knew mithral was used in the composition of the contruct, but not sure it was for the piece I had taken.
